The Dueck GM Motorama Show 2010

A 1969 Camaro Indianapolis 500 Pace Car convertible shines in the Dueck GM Motorama show, August 29, 2010.


More:
Dual cross-ram set-up on a Garnet Red original JL8-equipped 1969 Z28.
Ultra rare 1967 Conroy Pontiac "Cheetah" Beaumont Super Deluxe with 427/450 HP big block, aluminum cylinder heads, Hooker headers, safety bellhousing, M20 and 4.10 Posi 12-bolt. One of 4 known to exist of approximately 20 built. M&H racing slicks: the perfect touch. 
This 1957 Bel Air is an original 283/250 HP fuelie car, beautifully restored in the late Eighties and well maintained ever since. A steady stream of visitors proved that the '57 is still as popular as ever.
409 cubic inches, 409 horsepower and four gears. Just what Hayden Proffitt, Dave Strickler and Dyno Don Nicholson ordered in 1962 for NHRA Stock. This one has all the decals to prove it was there back in the day.
1961 Corvette from the Dueck Collection was a centerpiece of the showroom display. Beautiful.

The obligatory "wife with car" photo as Dee settles in for the day with a good overdue library book.
















Oh, baby.

Checking In

I am presently writing for the Mecum St. Charles auction and don't have time to develop stories the way I would like, but that will come in the next few weeks. In the meantime, I will post great stuff like this beautiful chopped and customized early Fifties Buick at the Thursday night McDonald's cruise-in.

Oh, baby.
