Great pix, and it was a real treat to see another convertible. (Earl Hess, by the way, is the owner of the blue one. You can find his black hardtop in the Events section for a previous Carlisle.)

Great to finally meet you -- hope you make it again next year!

Can you believe it - it only took 15 years for me to move the content below, from the "Events" section of the old website to where it belongs, here. And here I am thanking Steve Storey for his post of 15 years ago, promising to get to it soon - and now Steve is gone. :( But his nephew Brian is now the proud owner of his uncle's car! Gotta get him in the Showcase...

Now presenting - Carlisle 2009!

The start of our journey to Carlisle 2009! Waiting for Ken and Rob Morton at the Valley Forge Toll plaza. We'd never met before this -- but figured we might be able to recognize his car!

Ken's remarkable four-door Fury hardtop -- rare indeed

Mark Coudriet's beautiful Fury -- sans Mark! We never did see him at Carlisle, and missed him and his car altogether the next day

Earl takes first prize in the "Class of '59"! Faulkner takes second, and Steve Storey's convertible takes third. Congrats to all!
