1/43rd show in Auburn Indiana?------see post
Met with a show promoter that is excited about doing a strictly 1/43rd show in Auburn Indiana.I viewed the facility and its awesome.Its off of route 69 directly across from Auctions America Auto Auctions Grounds.Its on the same grounds as the Victory Museum/Ford Museum.The Auburn Cord Duesenberg Museum is right there/Lodging/Airport in Fort Wayne.The facility is attached to a fantastic Antique Mall.Its very well lit/Clean/Has food court.This could be scheduled at the same time as the Auctions America Collector Car Auction which draws thousands of people.Tables would be cheap and probably no admission charge,Open for suggestions.

I guess since both of my partners are deceased I shouldn't worry about using the name "Strictly" but it is kind of dear to me. I did originate it. A few years ago Buzz asked if he could use the title and I had no objection. But I suppose by now it's been so long maybe it's not my business to even care. It's just word isn't it. But he could use a lot of others like Mainly, Mostly, Exclusively, Positively, Unabashidly, Probably, etc. And I'd like to know who that promoter is. Maybe I can help in some small way. Arrange tables or mop floors. Hmm.

Greg, Are you talking about the Auction America during the ACD Festival in September?

Location sounds great. I love the ACD museum and it's even closer to Indy. if we do it on a ...
collector car weekend, will all the hotels and restaurants be packed? It's a small place, not not the Chicago burbs. That might be a downside.
I think it's worth doing one year for a change and see how it works. We can always go back to Countryside the next year.
Will Buzz still attend and 'show off' his wares?

Oh, and the closest Giordano's would be 2 hrs away in Indy. Can we give up that tradition? 🙂
