G. Barris into Hall of Fame

What, just NOW?

I would think he would be inductee #1, or top 10 at least

Mr. Barris attends a local charity car show at Steve Plunket's estate occasionally. (Fleetwood Estate) This venue is on the west side of London On. The first or second weekend in June...about twelve hundred cars show up and there is also a small pond for vintage boats or Amphicars! Batman and Cat Woman were there a couple years ago. The Manix Dart has been there along with the Futurliner #10...for you people close to the Detroit, Buffalo or Lewiston border.

I would have thought he would have been in the first 10 at least. From the times I have seen him on TV, he looks to be doing very well. I hope he continues to do so. There were and are a lot of great customizers but no question, he is the king.

Update/ Linda Vaughn

OK; Mr. Barris will be at Fleetwood Country Cruize-In this year along with Miss Linda Vaughn and Gene Winfield...auto-graphs and other celebrity stuff. Friday June 7, will feature Paul Revere and the Raiders, Mary Wilson, the Association and Mitch Ryder...$59.00 each, for show and dinner...On Sat. June 8, Bobby Vinton is on stage. $89.00 each for show and dinner...this is a charity event. The host for this show collects Cadillacs and has a small herd that you may view, from the twenties on up...if you only want to see the car show and the pond with the Amphicars, admission is $10.00...there was also a small car corral with a couple dozen cars for sale the last time I was there. 3000 cars are expected!

George is OK but has a reputation for taking credit where none is due...

Nobody mentioned the Hurst Hairy Olds in the video?
