It was a great show! Mopar Joe and I cruised over this morning and I just got home a half hour ago. (Left at 4 am. Back home at 6pm) Good to see everybody again especially Craig and Cheryl (@ZMan67S) who had their beauty of a 67 Barracuda on display. First photo, me on the left, Mopar Joe on the right and Craig and Cheryl's 67 Drop Top. It got so busy and so did I I'm afraid I didn't get a load of nice photos. Feel free to add yours as well.

A 12 cars were a specialty this year. (50 year anniversary)
The first car is a rare A12 Bee with a floral top. The only one known to exist from what I understand. Darrin did a great job bringing this one back to life. You may have seen this one in the November 2019 Mopar Collectors Guide.

More A12's

There were at least a couple dozen wing cars.

Right inside the main exhibit hall was a Chrysler Turbine Car. Cool to see the engine and "ball and trunnion flange" Torqueflite on display.

I am a fan of Willys cars and there was a whole line of them.

Here's some misc photos. Sadly there wasn't very many A Bodies there and by the time I found one or two it was
so crowded that I couldn't get a photo. Hopefully someone else will chime in with some good photos.

A few more

Here was Tommy Ivo's 4 engine dragster on display in the lobby. You walked past it when entering the exhibition hall. 4 Injected Buick Nailheads. Cool stuff.

Last but not least some bikes and mini bikes. There was a few displays with lots of cool Schwinn's, mini bikes and Honda Mini Trails and Harley's version of them.

Was the Bullitt Mustang there?

Any pictures of that?

I am worn out from judging all day, that 68 AA1 silver Barracuda fastback next to the blue convertible was my favorite of the show! He scored well, what a cool story too! That copper M-code Dart GTS was mine until a couple months ago. I helped the new owner put it back together after being moth balled for 13 years and I trailered it to the show, but I drove it on an off the trailer! There were 6 M-codes there, three Darts and three Cuda's. The blue 340 GTS was cool too! Maybe I will have time to take pictures of the A-Body's tommorrow...

Yes it was in a display case. Sorry, no photos. Another friend took 70+ shots. Give me a min. for a photo for you.

Thanks toolmanmike!

Fantastic show! I have have friend who has restored a car for this show the last couple years. Well worth the drive to go see cars that are not normally at "regular" shows because of their value. I spoke with the owner of the white 1969 440 Dart and he told me that his father bought him one new in 1969. He wrecked it shortly after.

I attended the MCACN show in 2016. We drove 12 hours each way. Well worth the drive.

My wife spent way too much all day at the outlet mall next to the Convention Center though...
