Lee,I'll send this to Ken Eckelson,he was with use on the Deuce Run driving the blue 4 door sedan,he now lives in Coral Springs,Florida. Danny
Thanks Danny. And thanks for posting the pic. That was a great day. Glad I got to spend it with you and Randy and your ladies. Lee
Lee,this is the responce I got from Ken... Danny,I'll have to look him up. Since I'm helping with registration, it won't be too hard to find him. Can't wait for this weekend. This is a fun show, no trophies, just lots of door prizes and a great setting. Drive in, park your car on the field, then don't touch it until Sunday. Everything you need is accessible with a golf cart! It has always been one of my favorites. Haven't been able to go the last few years. Wonder why? Thanks for the heads up! Will let you know how it went next week. Ken,remember Lee that came up from Florida that was with us on the 2010 Deuce Run?He went with you,Randy and myself to the show in Mooresville,N.C, He posted this on the Hamb and I see it's not too far from you,thought you might like this.

Nice day for a car show. Hard place to photograph cars... SO much clutter, too little space and plain awful back grounds. But some interesting cars were there. LOVED the Falcon. I think it was authentic. I think the Vette was also an "important" car, such as they are. The 737 Coupe looked great - not so much the engine choice. For some reason I was attracted more to customs. Who knew. Later, Gary
The weather was perfect and the turnout was in the 420s. The recent rain did limit the normal amount of parking but other then that it was a great day. Danny, I did briefly talk to Ken but didn't get to mention the Deuce Run. Lee
Another great RR. The pickup pictured above deserves some comment. Bought a few years ago by a FL guy. Story is that it was built by the Alexander Bros. But no documentation to support such provenance. Proportions were perfect. We rarely see chaneled cars that are full fendered and look "right". Lots of little things to notice. Bead along bottom of cowl was turned up to follow the fender. Bed was channeled the right about and was finished. No battery or gas tank. Firewall was relocated several inches into the engine room for leg room. Did not look odd or out of place. If you see this pickup again, study it. The more you look the more you see.
