How many MAX turned out?
Seems like that show is dying off the last few times I went to it. |

I was there ( I'm actually in the background of one of your photos, but I won't tell which one) and thought it was great. It was my first show since Terryville and the amount of cars was really good. I especially liked the dark and light blue '67 beetles. The Westfalias were cool too, and I really liked the one with the Westfalia tire cover on the front. One week away from the next show, I'm pretty sure I'll be there. Might be on the look out for an engine block... I found a super cheap thing for sale that looks like they pulled it out of the ocean but I like a project. No photos of the last show or the thing though, I need to get a camera. _________________ '67 Beetle L41
