Both Tuesday and Wednesday were partly cloudy, some sun, very warm for October, 80 to 84 degrees. Tues & Wed. were moderately busy. Saw a young fella carting of a complete '37-40 Columbia w/controls that the vendor earlier told me he wanted $4,500. for. Dennis Carpenter had very large quantity of NOS Parts. I saw Mike Driskell talking with Bob Jones from DC, likely about purchasing the remains of DC's NOS parts as he did last year. Mike was also talking with Craig Messenger who said this was his last year selling EV8 parts, so Mike will likely be getting those also.
To me, the most interesting car in the car corral was a late 30's Packard Navy limo that came back to the USA after the 2nd world war. This was Admiral "Bull" Halsey's staff car.
We bailed out, before you needed to bail on Thursday morning prior to the monsoons arriving. Friday was supposed to be 58 degrees, sunny, with a strong N/W wind. Should be a great day tomorrow for buyers, as the end is sight.
