American Icons Car Show

[BroadwayBlue]

Last Friday was my 1st Anniversary of owning my GT/CS. What a great year it's been!

I celebrated over the weekend by attending the American Icons Car Show held at Stewart Airport in New Windsor, NY.

It was a Corvette, Mustang and Viper only show. This was the first year Mustangs were invited and based on the turnout they plan to have Mustangs again next year. A big turnout of new Mustangs and a decent number of older cars despite the threatening weather.

It was a participant voted show. I didn't take home any trophies but had a great time seeing the cars and meeting other owners. Met a guy with a 1966 coupe (6 cylinder) with 23,000 original miles on it and the original interior (except for the carpet). His brother was parked next to me with his 68 390-GT Fastback.

In addition to the car show, since Stewart is also home to the NY Air National Guard, they had a C5 Transport plane on hand. I'm really impressed with these planes. The sheer size and payload is phenomenal. They fly over my house often and you can't miss them. The paint alone on these planes is 2600 lbs! They can get 7 or 8 Huey Helicopters in the cargo bay.

Anyway ... here are some pics from the show. There a few shots of my 96 Convertible as well. http://broadwayblue.photosite.com/2006-06-04AmericanIconsCarShow

Wow! That was a great slideshow! That was some great photography. Did you hire a professional photographer for that? Those cars were all beautiful. I liked your blue GT/CS the best Rich. It really stood out. Were you in any of the pics?

Pretty cool photo site isn't it? I actually found it because a local car show/cruise info site uses it. It's free for up to 150 photos and only $35 for the year for unlimited. For $50 per year you can have your own web address too. The $35 and up include a free backup of your pics too. There's a lesser option around $24 for 1000 photo storage.

Glad you liked the pics and no it was not a professional photographer just little ol' me. :grin: When I go to a show I try to take a picture of every car there. I didn't get a lot of the Vettes at this show or the new Mustangs but usually I do.
I'm not crazy about the way the site compresses the pics though. It makes it quick loading if you have a slow connection but they seem to a little grainy.

There were some nice cars there. I'm not in any of the pics since I was taking the them but my nephew is the one in the helicopter.

Great slideshow. I have had a few Air Force and Air Guard friends that were stationed at Stewart. As well, have had a chance to ride in the C-5. What a great ride!!

Anyway, thanks for sharing the slideshow. Looks like rain there!!
