The Harold LeMay Collection:
Early in the day, you had just about full access to these cars, but you weren't able to touch them, and there were signs all around saying so. This allowed really close access and back-end shots which you couldn't get later on. This was because every idiot and their brother kept putting their hands on the car, opening & closing the doors, playing with the windsheild wipers.... I could not believe it. This is the reason exhibits like this only last one day. This is the reason BMW/MB/etc. lock up their cars before 2:00PM. This is also probably the reason BMW didn't bring their M3, MB didn't bring the SLR 722, and so many others just didn't bother.

Buick GNX

Who doesn't like Grand Nationals? I had totally forgotten that this was built by McLaren. Seriously expensive for 1987: $29,990!

Buick Regal NASCAR

A 1989 NASCAR racecar originally driven by Larry Pearson. This was started up around 11:30AM, and I could feel it from across the room.

Buick Super Model 59 Estate Wagon 1940

A woodie! Just imagine riding down to the beach with 6 other kids on those bus-like bench seats with no air conditioning.

Cadillac Series 36-80 V12 1936

From a different era, from a different Cadillac. Simply lovely.

Chevrolet Astro I concept 1967

It's less than 30" high! That scoop on top is not an air vent, but the rear-view mirror. It's mid-engined, with some Corvette V8 I didn't catch the name of. This, too, was started up, but it was cut off too quickly for me to film it. The front end became the 1968 Corvette, and the rest was sadly forgotten.
