At the hotel...
This is at the new Holiday
Inn in Fountain Hills, AZ.
It is in such a great location, right across the street from
the world's largest fountain. This was
the hub for the convention. Some great cars and some really fine
people were in attendance. When I got to the hotel, some cars
(and people) were already there. The convention was deliberately
intended to coincide with one of the largest Arts
& Crafts Fairs in the region (photos of that below). |

At Rock Springs Cafe
We set it up ahead of
time with the cafe that we would stop here on our way to Sedona,
enjoy an already-prepared buffet and then be on our way. But
when we got there, they never heard of us, so we had to order
our food and wait for it to be cooked.
Among the great cars
in the convention were a 1958 Impala, a 1969 Impala Convertible,
a 1960 4-door 409 Impala, another 1969 Impala, a 1965 Impala,
two 1966 Impala Convertibles, a 1963 Impala, a 1962 Impala Convertible,
a 1966 Impala hard top, a 1964 Impala and of course my 1972 Impala(s)! |

Scottsdale Pavilions
|
I've been to this weekly
car show a number of times, but this time I had the privelage
of pulling up with a 1958 Impala, a 1960 Impala and a 1969 Impala
Convertible! Just before leaving from this show, a beat up Edsel
pulled up next to Edith. The driver opened
his door right into Edith's door, chipping the paint down to
the metal! He's pretty lucky it was my car and not one of the
$100,000 cars at the show! Edith was one of the few cars at the
show that already had a few dings and scratches. I asked one
of the guys who polices the show if he could tell the owner of
the Edsel to be more careful next time, but he said "That's
between you and him". I found that surprising because those
guy love to pick on people for other stuff, like playing your
radio or trying to advertise things or trying to sell your car
or parking in the wrong section or parking crooked, etc etc.
But apparently it's not against their rules to slam your door
into the car next to yours when you pull in! |
