Yes I know these are Fords but it was pre Corvette so it is ok.

So much for you can have any color you want as long as it is black talk.  The Model T started production in 1908 and the closes you could get to black for the first five years was gray.  Ford went to all black in 1914. 

The model T also dropped in price every year until it went out of production in 1927.   Anyway great "Lean manufacturing story" ask EBO.


Besides the pictures I found out that this car show is an annual first Sunday in November "Concours d'Elegance of the Eastern United States".  www.hhiconcours.com

If I was on the east coast this would make a great last corvette run of the year location.

Has anyone gone to this event?

Those "Brass Era" cars are something else...!!!  Thumbs Up  There's an annual run here in Minne-snow-ta called the New London to New Brighton Antique Car Run.  Last summer the newest car we saw was a 1906 model.  We drove up to see them in "The Beast" but this summer we'll be a little more correct driving "Betty".
 
When we were out in Maine for our daughter's wedding stopped in to see this place:  The Seal Cove Auto Museum.  Quite a collection of cars.
