Gee Tim you sure do get around!!! Simeone Museum, Philly Auto Show. It looks just like CSX 2601. Which brings up a point, does anybody know where 2601 went after the auction in Sep 2009. Which museum or who purchased it???

Nice
How many cars did they show. I heard they didn't have a new vet or viper there. I guess there's only one tru sports car company in America.

Thanks guys, it was a lot of fun. Glad we had dry roads for the way down and that they cleared up for the way home. PMs have been answered.
I had emailed the event cordinator for the Simeone Museum asking if this was the year that Fred was finally going to bring CSX2287 to the show and she thought that he was, after setting up Thursday 1/18 I went upstairs to the main exibit and found that he didn't. I am thinking it was probably because of security issues... I remember someone at the Foundation describing a crazy expensive Insurance fiqure that they pay everytime the cars are moved off of museum property. Bill I heard that CSX2601 later after the show sold again to a private party for 8 million and then went to Argentina.
I am glad that Factory Five sent more then the just 50 brochures they first indicated they could provide but wish it was a lot more then the box of 300 to 400. I could have easily placed several thousand. It would be interesting to hear what kind of response they get from the show.

sumina*****, I was wondering who's car that was!!!!!!! We were wandering around all day on Saturday, never
saw you near the car... I tried to ask the dimwit at the table but he kept insisting to a young couple that
the car was an antique so I walked away at that point... Really came out nice Tim!
Never thought about it being your car, couldn't figure out the license plates... I might
have realized if I saw it with the hood open...

If you went to the Mustang versus Camaro face-off, one of my buddies owns the white Boss 429 that was on display...

Thanks Ted, Sorry I missed you. I took my Pa licence plate off and put on the reproduction Shelby Manufacturer plate during the show.

I saw your coupe there and loved it. In fact, its the reason I registred here. Sorry I missed you, as the guy that was manning the booth at the time was no help at all.
