To be honest, I had such success on Saturday and found some great additions to my collection that I had to raid the change cubby in my car to scrape together the $10 in cash needed for the Countryside Toy Show. I made it with 15 cents to spare!
One of the first cars to catch my eye...
No! Sorry, not that one. It was this one from Buz. The WMCE 45R 1958 Dodge Regal Lancer Hardtop in copper poly and black. One of 40 made and ready to order from Buz later this week.
Julie Morrison, wife of Rob, played host for the prize giveaways
Charlie came over from across the pond with a few pieces to sell (and buy)
Tom and Karl tend to the 43 table, as do Skip, Kelly, and Randy
Tom and Dale's table o' GLMs.
Jeff, as always, had some very rare and very tempting models to offer.
My thanks to John and Kelly Kuvakas for organizing a weekend of great activities. And a huge thank you to Jeff Lane for putting together Saturday's show and the dinners. And an even bigger thanks to all the old and new friends this weekend who helped me through a painful kidney stone that could have sidelined my weekend. But instead, it served to remind me what a wonderful group of collectors are in this hobby and how our getting together is so much more than just little cars. Thank you one and all!
Randy, thanks for the Saturday and Sunday show summaries. I hope you are better now. I had no idea of your issue. I enjoyed the Saturday and Sunday shows very much, especially talking with the vendors and other collectors.

Thanks for the great photos Randy. Hope you're feeling better.
I could have sworn Buz said only 10 of the red/black Dodges were to be made.
