Coachbuilt Caddies are cool! Didn't know about this one. PRHT in 1953?!

Anybody know what this is? It has some Ford lines from various eras, but I think I really like it. Super stylish!

Thanks for sharing 

In reply to STM317 :

I had to zoom in on my original picture but looks like 1953 Abarth 1100 SS.

In reply to Stampie :

Thank you for the photos, and the clarification!

In reply to octavious :

You're welcome. Maybe I'll grab Lil Stampie's phone this evening and post some of his pictures. He and I have different opinions on cars sometimes.

It's the '50's... so it's probably a HRHT

The Duesenberg that took the win is an amazing car. Very early car with the vee radiator. The fact that a closed car won is great too.

Glad you guys had a good time. Everyone should take in one of those shows at least once in their lives, all the cars that show up are pieces of art.

Bummed we didn't run into each other, but glad that you two got to go. Thanks for sharing the photos.

Did you guys have a booth this year?  I didn't see one Saturday.

In reply to Stampie :

Hey Stampies big and little,

Thanks for that nice set of photos! Awesome cars there! I am impressed that you could get such clear shots of so many cars. Even on Saturday, the crowd seemed so thick that it was hard to get an unobstructed view of the cars. 

Woohoo I have control of Lil Stampie's phone.

And finally, he did a screenshot of our workout.

Not to diminish Big n' Littles excellent effort on chronicling the attendees....but a little side bar written synopsis for those here with MAJOR bank kicking themselves FOR not attending.....man you two, what a great father /son weekend .....big ups on y'all!!!! 

Nice pics. Thanks for posting.

Me thinks Lil' Stampie has better taste in cars than Big Stampie.  

In reply to Purple Frog :

He likes the newer cars.  In fact when I commented on how I liked the Lotus display cars he stepped back and said "I thought you didn't like new cars?"  It was fun to point out things to him.  Like hey that's not an 289 Corbra.  It's an AC Ace that the Corbra was based on.  His ears would perk up and he'd start snapping pictures.It says a lot about Amelia Island when an original Corbra is boring.

Mrs Frog and I attended the 1st something like 26 years ago.  A few years ago I took both grandsons.  I followed them around just watching what they were attracted to.  Needless to say, it was interesting to see what kids born less than 20 years ago think are "historic".

Great photos, thanks for sharing.

This seems like a good thing to put in the "to do" list for next year with the kids.  Thanks for sharing.

That looks like one of those Porsche engines that takes a week to time the cams

In reply to spitfirebill :

Absolutely is Porsche engine. 14 gears and 9 shafts in the timing train.
