All of the registered cars are listed in the program, and I counted 213. Of these, 29 were registered as show-only.

Not all showed up, which is normal as there are always some people who can't make it at the last minute for one reason or another. One person I spoke with at the Toronado chapter meeting late Friday afternoon said that he talked to one of the swap meet vendors who walked the show field Friday morning counting cars, figuring that's when all the cars registered were most likely to be present as that's when judging takes place. He counted about 180.

Thanks for posting the pictures. There is just something beautiful about seeing a row of ram air hoods.

Thanks for the viewing... The 57 Fiesta Wagon is my favorite pick of the photos... Just looks mean and proud sitting there...

A panorama from the 10th floor on Friday

A view from our return in Amarillo at the Cadillac Ranch

The city of Albuquerque from the peak of Mount Sandia, elevation '10,378

The tram at the peak, the mechanical engineering that went into this project was mind blowing!



Inflating our Friday morning ride



Albuquerque via balloon. My wife is not what you would call a flyer, but she loved this experience! Ready for her next ride already!

Great pics from Albuquerque. Loved the shots from the Sandia
Peak Tram. I got engaged to my wife of 29 years up there.


We had a guy strap a hang glider to the top of the tram going up. It was unbelievable watching him jump off that 4,000 ft+ sheer drop. Not something I could ever do. Great memories. Wish we could have been there.

Fascinating museum. I found myself reading almost every placard.
