    I was there during the Holiday weekend. The cars were amazing!

    My wife's grandfather used to drive around in a Mercedes 540k very similar to the one on display there. She was excited to see it and amazed at how imposing an automobile it is. Not even a modern Maybach or Rolls Royce comes close.

    Send me an email if you want to see the pics I took.
