Location: Massachusetts | The black Savoy 2-door sedan I built back in 2007 scored 992 points from 1,000 in the Concourse Day-2 class at Chicago's Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals (MCACN) on Sunday November 18. Forward Look Cars still draw a crowd.

| Dan --
You ain't just a tootin'! Especially with that big ol' SonoRamic Commando up front. My Big-Tailed Beast ('60 Fury) is not as pristine as your '61 as it's an unrestored survivor but it did get an "honorable mention" red ribbon at the Colorado Concours d'Elgance in Denver in September. Considering the Best in Show went to a '69 Ferrari 365 GT 2+2 out of a herd other Ferraris, Lambos, Porsches, etc. (and even a '70 hemi/4-speed Superbird), it did well indeed.
I'm sure you love watching the spectators go by the front of your car, then screech to halt as they do a double take on the engine. I especially like it when the dudes are wearing Porsche polo shirts.
What's the best comment you've gotten? Generally at shows like this, most people are gearheads, but I did encounter a dad telling his young son, "Look, a slant 6." (Two slant 4s?)

Location: Massachusetts | Appreciate it Gents. I posted here because I was here seeking help in 2007 during the build. At the time I didn't know FL cars well. Since then I acquired a 300 F so now two Ram cars. Happy Holidays to all of you.
