We want to wish all of our US visitors a very Happy Thanksgiving ... there is much to be thankful for in our country...yet much to be worried about as well.
Now, more than at any other time in our lifetime, we need to be paying attention to our government and we must be active citizens..... Thomas Jefferson said “All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent.” What have you done this week to preserve our nation ? As you enjoy the fruits of our nation with your family and friends this week .... think about what YOU need to do to preserve our nation ..... and then DO IT !
At the SEMA show this year, we were hanging out with our friends Larry and Debbie Weiner of Performance West Group and Larry asked us if we were going to the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals show ....... we hadn’t heard about it and Larry went on to tell us that he was taking some of his stable of fab Muscle Cars for Mr. Norms Garage and that there was quite a lineup of cars scheduled to exhibit. Larry said he could arrange for us to have a booth and recommended the show highly ..... soooooo..... Off We Went... This weekend the HotRodHotLine.com crew hopped a plane and headed for Chicagoland !
Probably the highlight of the show was that we got to meet Dave and Joyce Emery for the first time. We have “known” them for many many years as Dave’s Ridler award winning car “REVOLVER” was HotRodHotLine’s FIRST Featured Ad ! Wow... that was a LONG time ago.... so it was really great to be able to shoot the breeze with them in person. We’re looking forward to being able to show you Dave’s new car..... coming SOON !
The show promoter did a FABULOUS job of bringing in a huge number of really nice Muscle Cars. Everything from Camaros to Super Bees... and all in between. There were 500 cars on display and lots of vendors plus an indoor swap meet so there was fun for all.The premise of the show was based on a “rivalry” between Nickey Chicago and Mr. Norms Garage, who both had a lot of great cars on display. Combined with the quality of the other cars brought in from around the country.... this show was unparalleled in the Muscle Car field. We have LOTS of pictures so stay tuned for our coverage coming up soon.
