The Return to Daytona II show was fantastic! Cliff Danley and all the First Coast club did a great job. Over 100 AMCs were present and I heard someone say 42 were 2 seaters. Herman Lewis was there with his drag car along with the PPG AMX Pace car and the AMX 400 of Banechek fame. I took over 100 pictures which I hope to post soon. For now here's a teaser panoramic shot

Any one subscribed to American Motor Cars magazine? If not you should be, Frank Swygert does a great job. I just subsribed last year and wish I had sooner. Best of all, if you are subscribed you would see the article Frank did on my 1973 Javelin. The article also gives our club some exposure. Go here to subscribe.

Another Great Show! Once again The Mopars/AMCs in the Park was a resounding success. Matt, Bob and Kenny and all the Mopar guys and gals did a great job once again. We had 16 AMCs show including 2 Hudsons. In addition to the members cars that showed up, we had a lot of members show who were unable to bring thier cars. The club tent I had set up was a nice gathering point where we discussed our AMC issues. If you missed the show, you missed a good one, pictures are here on our picture page. With over 200 cars total, rumor is we may need to find another venue.

Over the next few days or weeks (holidays) I will be updating our membership page to add and delete members. Some of you I havent heard from in years and since our club has no membership fees, I dont adjust every year. So please drop me an email (note my new email on top of page) just to let me know you are still around.

Ok, This is it. The show is this Sunday and its going to be Great! I had another planning meeting last night and things look good. We expect about 200 cars (Mopars and AMCs) but there could be more, hopefully not too much more cuase room could be an issue.

We are going to have a large AMC display at the show complete with posters and banners. Kenny Bob and Matt have done a fantastic job with everything and we PROMISE you this will be unlike any show you have ever been to. Kenny made us a club banner that is UNREAL, very slick. The food will be great as usual and all FREE, just BRING SOME CANNED GOODS to benifit the food bank. Tom will be there doing his proffesional DJ show, several Chrysler dealers will be there with a large contingent, Jeeps will be everywhere! There are some impressive door prises too! I just cant say how nice this will be!

So be there or be square. If you cant bring your car, just show up. I will have an AMC tent for us to hang out in. While I cant say for sure how many AMCs will be there, but I am optimistic we will beat our high of 13 last year. Plus we know of at least a couple Hudsons that will attend! Last night Kenny showed me a special surprise he made for a select few cars and I must say, I was blown away!

Weather looks to be great. I will be getting there early, hopefully around 7:00 to help set up. If someone wants to meet up around 6:00, 6:30 latest, or so let me know and we will caravan. So please, try to attend.

see ya there!!
