| I have never been there before. Is there much in the way of FL parts or cars? I was thinking of going to sell some muscle and c body parts there. http://cpwclub.com/ |

Location: So. California | There's a little bit of forward look stuff, but not nearly as much as muscle car parts, of course. I think the problem is that there are more buyers of forwardlook parts than there are sellers. You should do well to sell your muscle car era parts there. |

Location: Arvada, Colorado (NW Denver Metro Area) | <p>It is a neat two-day event and will be there again this year with my 59 Plymouth convertible, but Like Powerflite (Nathan) said, very few FL parts but sometimes good leads on them if you ask some of the vendors. Last year the Pomona Swap meet was the same day and it took some vendors away from Spring Fling. But a great display of many Genre' of Mopar products there.</p>

Location: So. California | I am thinking we should start a forwardlook meet & greet on the Friday evening before the show. Anyone interested in meeting up with fellow forwardlookers at a restaurant or other venue? There is a car show at Bob's Big Boy in Northridge that has more space and isn't as over-crowded as the one in Burbank. That might be a good place to meet up and see other cars as well. During the show is usually too busy most of the time with everything happening and multiple car clubs & friends wanting your attention. |

Location: So. California | I'll take the deafening lack of response as a definite no.  Oh well, I'll be hanging out at the Northridge Big Boy anyway. At least I'll get to see some nice cars on my way home from work, Anyone planning to attend the fling? I'll be bringing the '58 Coronet, but probably just park it in front on the street. |

Location: So. California | We had a nice turnout of forwardlook cars at the show. It was great to hangout & get to know 59 Belvedere Conv (John) & Rickymopar for a while beforehand and see his nice '59 convertible at the show. Burnemup (Ernie) brought his 55 CRL and C-300 (Aaron) came with his really neat Fury-mite & a friend's '58 New Yorker wagon. I scored a bunch of great parts as usual too, including a 354 hemi motor. Here are some of the highlights from the show. I erased the phone numbers on the for sale signs. If you would like them, just send me a PM and I will give it to you. I don't know if either of them sold or not. Note that I mis-labeled the red Chrysler. It is a '52, not a '51.

Location: Simi Valley, CA | I like the idea of a "Forward Look" car show or gathering on its own or tied in with the CPW Spring Fling or Fall Fling. I've always wished that there was a San Fernando Valley/LA based car club again! I'd be willing to help, if one ever was established.

Location: So. California | Wow Chuck, it's amazing you made it out of that Ambassador alive. Telephone poles usually win in a fight with one.
A lot of people want to meet up *at* the show, but the reality is that I (and most other people) have very little time at the show with the swap meet going and 40 other people who want to talk about old times with me. So meet ups at the show never happen except very quickly - or about the time that everyone is leaving. That's why I would like to start something either before or after the show. Before usually makes more sense. I had a great time shooting the breeze with John & his brother, and Rick from Colorado before the show. I didn't see them at all during the show (as expected), but I saw John's car of course. We'll try it again before fall fling and see how much participation there is. I would really like to start my own type of show that allows vehicles of all makes from a more restricted year range, like 1945 to 1961 and couple it with some fun activities (including optional camping in vintage trailers), but I haven't yet figured out what to do, and where to do it. I am thinking somewhere around Filmore or Camarillo might work. I go camping with a couple groups that have rigs that meet the qualifications so I would hope many of them would support it if I put it on.
There is a club in the SF valley, it is the CPW club that puts on the flings. They are pretty large, but I have never participated in the club itself. I'm not sure what they do outside of putting on the flings. There is also a large Mopar club in the Torrance and Riverside areas. |

thanks for the highlight pictures.
My highlights of your selection are the 300D EFI & the 58 NYer Wagon (wrong taillights...)
The picture with trailer queen daytona with hook on daytona are GREAT |

Location: So. California | Both of those Chryslers are owned by Per (works for Jay Leno). He had NOS Chrysler tail lights on it, but his wife backed the car into a wall and wrecked one. He ordered new ones from George in Australia, but I doubt he is going to get them since he had a stroke. In the meantime, he runs these Plymouth lights. I was really hoping to see Gary's '58 New Yorker convertible. But I may need to just pay him a visit to go see it. |

Location: So. California | Despite the fires around the area, Fall Fling will still be held this Saturday as Steve Wall assures me. The only fire still going in the area is in Canyon Country so it shouldn't affect the show at all. Hope to see a lot of forwardlook cars there. |
