May 28 to June 2nd 2019 Collector Car Shows Minneapolis area

All,

Rain-outs continue but at least Saturday and Sunday we were able to see the sun felt awful good! The pics I have included are my favorites from the Minnetonka Drive-In and the Chanhassen AutoPlex Military Appreciation Day. 

The Minnetonka Drive-In had only about 25 - 30 Cars but was fun and the AutoPlex was in full swing, lots of Cars, Military Appreciation Day, Fly Over - Gotta Love the sound of those Prop Planes, Color Guard, and Flag Raising Ceremony plus Military Vehicles - nice. 

Enjoy this weekend Sunday has a number of Shows to choose from. Here's a hint if you shoot Pics with a digital Camera as I do, always carry extra batteries!

May 6 to May 12 2019 Classic Car Shows Minneapolis and suburbs area

All,

Still not a lot to report but the good news is it isn't snowing anymore but probably shouldn't have even said that so don't hold me responsible if I jinked the weather! Went to the Buick show at the Fair grounds Sunday with Bill Schwartz and ran into just a couple folks we knew but we were there kind of late.

Always a nice Show and lots of new buildings and landscaping going on - most important nice shiny new clean bathrooms.

Anyway hopefully soon the weather will get better and the Shows will be in full swing. Check out the 7-Hi groups new location Tuesday and get some food at the Minnetonka Drive-In Thursday.

Will publish my yearly List as soon as the dates are determined - stay tuned.

See you Soon,

Rick Meyer
