Who's going to the CCCA annual meeting in Detroit?

Heard from a friend it was the best national meeting ever.  Lots and lots of great cars.  I think the location with many high end large collections no too far away probably helped.

I agree, hats off to the Michigan Region CCCA. Fantastic time - NO SNOW (I know that was a concern for many) and the friendship, conversation, and good spirits of the people there were just great. It was great to see Matt and Melanie again. Some amazing CCCA members cars there and especially neat to see 3 cars from the 1915-24 era that are now accepted by CCCA by vote of the membership a year ago . There had to be 250+ people at the banquet on Saturday night. The best in show went to a 1930 Cadillac V16 limousine (yes over and above some really fine open bodied cars) that had an incredible restoration to absolutely authentic , period  correct standards. Not over done, but the attention to detail on a big 6 window formal car that looked just as it would have come out of the showroom. The best part is the owner told me he can't wait to drive it on a tour! My personal thanks to all who put up with me (and didn't fall asleep) when I gave my talk on coachwork at the Center for Creative Studies in downtown Detroit. This was the old GM (built 1928) design headquarters, and CCCA member Bill Parfet hauled in his 1936 Cadillac V16 aerodynamic fast back coupe to place on the turntable in the room I gave my presentation in (on the 11th floor , they used a freight elevator to get the car to that level) for added eye candy. Thanks again to all who put in the effort to make this winter annual meeting just outstanding.
