OK, following in Frank Reed's lead, "My Take" in this instance refers to the models I brought home from this fun-packed weekend trip. I grouped my new arrivals into two sets with no real purpose in mind, other than that it seemed to work best for the photos.

1968 MGB Roadster/Light Blue - R.A.E. Models (Wayne Moyer)
1989 Dodge Daytona ES Coupe/Red - Alezan Models (Wayne Moyer) (odd-I know, but I used to have a 1:1 of this model-loved that car)
Yea, I know, I took home a decent number of models. It was a such a blast seeing everything that was available. Since this was my 1st time, I took advantage of the opportunity to the fullest. (now you know why my collection is the size it is, LOL!)
The best part of the weekend was still spending time with the folks I share this wonderful (although obsessive) hobby with. Meeting new folks and others that I've only emailed or spoken with on the phone and renewing friendships that were established in Allentown in 2021. It was a great and very precious weekend experience.
Thank-you all.

It was great meeting you. I have a favor to ask. Would you take a couple of close-up photos of the 1949 DeSoto convertible? I have a small DeSoto collection ranging from 1942 to 1960, and might want to add the 1949 model some day.

Wow, what a great haul of terrific replicas from the Countryside venue, John ! I wish I could have make this show, but I hope to get to the next one.
There is unquestionably a solid group of collectors and enthusiasts who love automobiles/vehicles in all scales and from a variety of eras.
