Saturday night was the last night in Orlando and during the week we had heard about an old car show held in Old Town Kissimmee. So we thought we would go down and investigate cars, you know how I am a car kind of guy. When we were there on Thursday there were hardly any shops open and hardly a soul about. I can tell you things are different on Saturday night. The cars started to arrive about 3:00 in the afternoon and arrive well into the evening (we stayed until 7:30 and they were still coming in), when we left there were at least 250 to 300 cars in Old Town quite a sight to say the least.

The break down was that there were allot of North American Muscle cars and a very good representatives of restored and good originals there. the surprising thing was there was only 2 English cars, a Bentley and a Bradford, there was 1 Italian, a late 60's Fiat Spider, several VW beatles and one 1934 Citroen the rest were American.
1934 Citroen.Unfortunately it was very dark and this was the best picture I could get. The owner was Roger a very nice man with many cars I hope we can connect and get a better picture.
There was about 10 Hudson's and they were having a club meeting in the restaurant we stopped for dinner at. Quite the demographic mostly over 65 into the late 80's. There was a gorgeous 47 Hudson that I drooled over, there was also a Nash Metropolitan in a sweet light yellow with white accent.

Through out the area's there were allot of stingray Corvettes and finally just before we left a 1960 arrived and was just stunning. Laura and I talked about it on the way home it was a toss up between the 59 T-Bird and the 60 Vette. Sorry for the poor picture of the vet it was the best I could do in the dark.
After the ride home we sat in the hot tub for a while and finished packing as the taxi is supposed to be there at 0h 600 the 0h stands for "oh my God its Early.
Wow...what a find on your last night away! Tough call on which car to go with...might have had to ask for a road test to be sure!
