Default Gathering of the Faithful in Rochester Mass.

Did anyone go to the Gathering of the Faithful 2014 show today? There were tons of flatheads there. My camera died and all my pictures came out crummy. I never did find Ol' Ron There. That place was huge. Hope to see some pictures.

I went with 2 other flatheads and yes the show was the biggest ever. I talked with Jack Wegmans daughter and she made 600 goodie bags and all were gone and still cars coming in.
Had a nice visit with O'l Ron and as usual learned more about flatheads. WHAT A GREAT GUY!
Had to be well over 100 flatheads in just about every configuration you can imagine. Several supercharged flatheads. The show is a step back in time with many old school rods and customs.
Can't wait til next year.
regards, Don

I saw Jay to speak with and looked over Don's 37, I too missed Ol' Ron. What were everyone's thoughts on the 1932 Model B Coupe with the Riley OHV set up. Driven down from Quebec, there are pictures of it on the HAMB (it has the checkerboard firewall). Talk about a really neat car (actually one of many). As stated by Jay, Don and others a beautiful day for October in New England so it brought out a lot of great cars. LouB.

Ford46....thanks for spotting my 4-banger.....all Henry...all real race stuff from the past, even the B-W overdrive in the center of the torque tube. The most fun with this car is the sound...as in..."what ta hell is that?" I live on the south-shore of Montreal, 25 minutes from the VT / NY border. Great meet, great people, had a ball.
