tim boyd Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 (edited) That and so much more.... Another year of great weather greeted exhibitors, staff, and spectators at the 2018 edition of the Concours of the Americas at St. John's, the successor event to the old Meadowbrook Concours.A number of spectacular displays featured themes such as the first generation flip-top funny cars, Bugattis, racing Porsches, early Indian and Harley motorcycles, the "class of 1958", the Plymouth marque, 300SL's, and so forth.I recommend you use the "Roll" feature quickly view all photos in full screen mode. Enjoy, and thanks for looking....TIM 2018 Concours of the Americas at St. John's PS - two of my favorites from the event....TB 1935 Duesenberg J Victoria Convertible ...and this 1939 Packard Super 8 Convertible Victoria...

Snake45 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Great pics, Tim, thanks! I tried your suggestion of using Roll but it was taking to long to wade through the classics and antiques I didn't care about. The funny cars start on Page 5. By "first gen" I was expecting to see 1964-66 cars, the AWBs. These are floppers from about 1967 to the early, maybe mid-'70s. Still WAY cool, though! The Monkeemobilee (or should I say "a" Monkeemobile) is on Page 12. Thanks again, Tim! Great work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I think of first gen funny cars, I think of the flip tops starting with the 1966 Comet of Don Nicholson.....and I think of those prior to that car as AWB or A/FX but not "funny cars" per se. But now that you mention it, I'm sure many view this as you do. Hmm.....maybe I should change the title of this thread..... Best Regards......TIM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
