<VV> Rockville Antique and Classic Car Show

[Jim Simpson]

This is aimed at the folks in the mid-Atlantic area -- the Rockville 
Antique and Classic Car Show is scheduled for Saturday, October 
17th.  In my opinion, this is one of the finer car shows in the 
region.  Last year, we had a stellar turn-out of Corvairs -- 17 on 
the field including two Yenkos.  (This was aided by the fact that we 
had a special "100 Years of GM" show with eight Corvairs illustrating 
all the variations of the Corvair.)

If you've never been to this show, it normally attracts between 400 
and 450 cars, all antiques and classics -- no hot rods, no "customs", 
no kit cars, no "beaters" and all have to be at least 25 years 
old.  The venue is a large, bowl-shaped grassy valley that is filled 
with cars.  It also attracts on the order of 10,000 car enthusiast 
visitors who come to admire the cars and chat with the 
owners.  There's good food and a special display every year.  Last 
year was the 100 years of GM; this year will be Italian exotics.

Corvairs normally have an excellent, central location that gets a lot 
of foot traffic and the Corvairs get a LOT of attention.  I suspect 
we get more outside attention -- and attract new people to the 
Corvair world -- than most pure Corvair shows do.

So I'm inviting you to come and have included a link to the 
registration form web site.  If you can come, please register as soon 
as you can.  The space reserved for each marque is based upon the 
pre-registrations.  And if you get your registration in before the 
later part of September, you will be listed in the show brochure.

Drop me a note if you need any more information.  And please spread 
the word to you local club members.
