This past Sunday, I went to the Greenwich, Conn. for the foreign car councours show. This is probably the closest thing to the Pebble Beach show that you can find in the northeast. There were about 250 cars, mostly ranging fron early 1930s thru 1960s. Every manufacturer you could think of plus several that I had never heard of before.
Although there were many more exotic examples, I've always liked Morgans and (my first car) early Austin Healeys. One of the more interesting cars were a '54 Dannenhauer & Strauss, a car very similar in style to a Speedster but built on a VW floor pan. Another interesting example was a '38 Masserati racing car.

Nice pictures Brian. I especially like the shot of the Morgan, a marque I once considered making my hobby before I discovered replica 356's. I don't remember seeing one at Carlisle this year although there was a nice example last year.

BTW, did you guys who attended Carlisle happen to see the article in one of the Magazines in our goody bag about the factory in Malvern Link? This is where the Morgans are built with time-honored tools and techniques. It's good to see somebody is still building cars the old fashioned way, with the exception of the "Aero 8" of course.

Brian, thanks for posting some pics. I stopped in briefly after the crowd cleared off on Saturday.

I spoke to one of the security guards that made sure that I didn't put too many nose prints on the windows. He informed me that there was at least 100 million dollars in cars there, and that Sunday's auction was the day to really see.

I had actually driven my speedy right into the side lot to gawk briefly at the field. I have to say that I felt a little under dressed with my car considering the amount of deep paint and highly polished chrome sitting on the grassy area. Chaching!
