That's a big show - typically around 2,000+ cars, and it's right next to Gillette Stadium and the Patriots Football Hall of Fame so you could make it a double event.
In the times I've been there, LOTS of muscle cars, not quite so many Street and Hot Rods, and nary a Speedster - YET! Herb Chambers used to show up with his McLaren once a Summer, and the guy who owns the Motel 6 chain sometimes shows up with his Spyker C8 Lavolette (I think that means toilet, right??)

BTW: I went to the "German Car Day" at Boston's Museum of Transportation a few weeks back. They had the largest turnout of both cars and spectators in the museum's history that day.
The guy with the Spyker turns up and they let him in, then someone pointed out to the organizers that the Spyker is made in Holland (as it says all over the car, it seems) so they politely asked him to leave. Before he left in a huff, I asked him if it was a kit car with a dash from a Pontiac Trans Am......
It turns out that they are, indeed, made in Holland, are "Bespoke" vehicles (one-off, hand built), according to their web site, just like a many of the Speedster replicas out there, so it was an honest mistake on my part, right?
Check out the air intake on the left:
And here's a Trans Am Dash:
You don't get a lot of new-looking stuff in a Spyker for $300K, do ya?

Bunch of snobs. Holland was part of Germany in 1940 - as result of a Blitzkrieg.
Thanks Altoid. I saw many of those cars last week on this side of the Canal on the Tuesday night Cruise at the Trade School in Bourne. Only 1 "entry level" speedster showed up, however. Mine. They get 500 or so of these same cars every week. It's about a 1 hour ride from here on back roads. We ride in, get a burger, one walk through and off to get ice cream on the way home. Nice way to end the day with a sunset cruise home.
Al, you probably know this but, but every Saturday 5pm-7:30pm theres a pretty nice cruise night at Patriot Square, exit 9 off Rt 6 in Dennis?
It would be a shorter drive for you?
