Rockville, MD Classic Car Show

[baltobernie]

A gorgeous Autumn day brought out over 500 cars. DC Fiats was one of the sponsors, showing 19 cars.



Many club regulars, and a few newcomers



Two beautiful examples of club cars


Here's Gina with some fast company: 124 (genuine) Abarth Spider, owned by my favorite Fiat mechanic, a rare Abarth 850 race car, Carl's 128 "Pocket Rocket" street-legal racer, and a Fiat Dino

Hope to see you Balto/Wash owners at the next event!

Was this a one day only event? With that many gorgeous cars, one day hardly seems enough to really appreciate them all.
California has a reputation as having a car culture, but it looks like you Easteners beat us out!
Thanks for the great pictures.

Wow, great turnout! Too bad I didn't know about it or I might have tried to make it...if just to meet the infamous Carl.

Glad you enjoyed the pics, guys.

The theme of the show was "100 Years of General Motors". The entire infield was devoted to the marque. Kind of sad, looking at all that innovation, style and engineering. Debbie pointed out a twin to the car she learned to drive; all of America somehow connected to an automotive experience at GM, now fighting for its very life. "Hey, we can make more money financing cars than actually building them!" Thanks for the memories.

Hey Denise, after the show, Carl was lured to a local BBQ, where several members joined family and friends lying in wait for a surprise birthday party.

Bernie,

Very nice pix and looked to be a gorgeous day. Great cars! Love the turbo of course, but that Abarth looks pretty sharp too.
