The Friends of Steve McQueen car show 6/7/2014

[manxvair]

We attended this show on Saturday 6/7/14. The show was dedicated to his movie "The Thomas Crown Affair" so Meyers Manx Inc was tasked with building a TC tribute Manx buggy. (see Thomas Crown buggy thread) In all 26 buggies were parked in the "Sand Box" (fitting) with most of them Manx Club members. Our sand box was located next to the Hagerty Ins. booth, a worker in the booth called her husband, who then drove down in his buggy, talked with us awhile and joined the club on the spot. There was a lot of interest in the buggies and when people were told they could climb into any of them for pictures their smiles just got bigger! tell me any other car owner there would allow that! The icing on the cake for me was when every one of the buggies, including "Old Red" started and drove away under their own power, several of the high dollar show cars were either towed or pushed to their trailers. It was a fun day with great people and some really cool vehicles on display, next years theme will be "On Any Sunday" it should be a great show to look forward to.








This would be a cool buggy hauler!
