Dayton Concours Pictures.

[Concours.John]

The Dayton Concours @ Carrillon Park is in a setting of some of the most historically well known buildings of Dayton. All of the buildings were moved here and restored. From the Wright Brothers to Charles F. Kettering. Some people know that much of the history of DELCO, GM and NCR started here. There is the largest display of pre war cash registers to new and many other great artifacts. This is a unique place to visit even without the show. It should be on anyones bucket list when visiting Dayton.

On to the show. This was the largest turn out of people I have seen in 15 years at this show. We did our best to get pictures during quick breaks.

The Preview Party the night before.

Some of the vehicles in the show brought out that night.

The 1939 GM Futurliner 1 of 12

Meeting a hero of mine Two time Indy winner and the one and four lap record holder, Arie Luyendyk. He was gracious enough to sit and talk for a while.

Thanks everyone. I only wish I could have taken more before the crowds arrived. There were so many great vehicles this year. It seems to get better every year. It was chilly in the morning but stayed in the low 70's. A perfect day.
