I have been a bit lazy to start this thread as it is quite a bit of work but I got finally about 1000 photos uploaded...that's like halfway lol. Might be too much for some to go through but I wanted to share as much as possible of the cool stuff I got to see this summer. Still, there is a lot of photos I had to leave out too.

I also want to give everybody who made the trip a great experience a big thank you, especially RhinoDart and his wife who kindly offered a place to stay while in Chicago. The stay actually got to be longer than planned as we didn't have the chance to pick up my New Yorker from Kansas according to the original schedule. But it was all good.

Bear with me, this thread will take days or even weeks to complete. Here's a list of the events I will post pics of;

Chryslers at Carlisle, PA
MoPar Hall of Fame, Harrisburg, PA
Bosak Chrysler Dodge Jeep Show, Merrillville, IN
Belvidere MoPar Happening, IL
Meltdown Drags, Byron, IL
Buick Gallery and Research Center, Flint, MI
The Sloan Museum, Flint, MI
Cruise/shows in Chelsea and Jackson, MI
MoPars at the Red Barns and Gilmore Car Museum, Hickory Corners, MI
R.E. Olds Museum, Lansing, MI
Michigan Historical Museum, Lansing, MI
North Oakland MoPar Club swap & meet at Packard Proving Grounds, Shelby Twp, MI
Concours d'Elegance of America at St Johns, Plymouth, MI
GM Heritage Center, Sterling Heights, MI
Dodge Viper plant tour, Detroit, MI (sorry, to me it is always a Dodge)
MoPar Nationals, Hebron, OH
Back to the Bricks, Flint, MI
Woodward Dream Cruise, Detroit, MI

There are a few other treats as well. There was a few additional events I planned to see but maybe next year. I did pretty well considering that I was low bucking the whole thing. It really helps when you can share room and fuel costs with someone while on the road too as I usually travel alone. I really need to get to see more stuff in Detroit, time simply ran out for several reasons. But all in all, it was a great trip! Hope you enjoy the pics!

Jim picked me up at the Chicago O'Hare and then we only had to load up before heading towards the Chryslers at Carlisle show which I hadn't seen before. Here we are picking up some valuables at the RhinoDart HQ. As odd as it may seem, I didn't see any broken Dodge truck transmissions...



Southbound towards the Windy City! Only a few more miles to Carlisle, lol. But I am again in America and even all the foreign cars in Chicago will not bring my spirits down!



Oh yeah, a few snores later and we are in the middle of the action! But how on earth do you guys cope with the humid heat??? Dang...







Original 400 truck...mmmm



Vehicles were still getting parked in the building, nice to have some closed hoods...

Meanwhile outside...when did you see a KaryVan this nice????





If I would have deep pockets I would have bought most of this stuff....





I actually have one of these in smaller table lamp version...





Dudes are cool;





Mmmm...dog dishes on a black 68 Charger...very sharp looking car!



Not too many Hot Rods with Long Rams...



Goodies wherever you go;







Only a bit over 600 miles on this one...



One of the coolest things at Carlisle;

The survivor tent isn't the best place to take pics...we'll come back for more later...











This Canadian hauler was one of my Carlisle favorites!





The Petty folks travel in style;





This tent seemed to have so much good stuff for a reasonable price that a lot ended up in inside trades. But if you know these guys they might throw you adult beverages free of charge and even a few insults with the deal lol.










Here's some friendly looking fellows? Maybe they want to sell you something?

"Maybe" a few insults?? I think an insult is a guarantee.

I was really looking forward to the Max Wedge display and I wasn't disappointed! Even the dealership building in itself is so cool...
