This is already the third day of the 2010 Grand National Meet and I have not seen a photo taken there.
I am extremely curious about how a Grand National looks like because I definitely want to attend the next one in Ohio (it was too late to arrange the trip to the Kansas event - I am about 8,500 kms far from there).
Of course, I am especially curious about the cars (number, model years, colors, oldest, newest, etc.) there but I am also interested in practically everything (people, etiquette, dress code, food, programs, burnout ;D, etc.) about the 2010 GN.
Could anybody please post some photos? Please!

There are Chevys and GMCs around you.

I really would like to see some photos of the event.

Gerg, you know I'm kidding you don't you?

I know if I was out there I wouldn't be hanging around in the hotel trying to load photos on my laptop. I'd be out looking at the cars.

I would like to see some photos too. I'm sure people will post them as soon as they can after the fun is over.

Yes, I know and I like your sense of humour very much.

Here are two photos of our Hungarian "GN" (we call it "Cadillac Ranch"). That's the style of photos I would really like to see.

Great photos Gergely. My grandmother came to the US from Hungary in the late '20s. She always owned Cadillacs, good to see so many in her homeland!

Always great to see a running Brougham.  I put 70 miles on mine today.
Do you know what is the body number of the car in the photo is?  I have tracked a couple of cars to Hungary.

I will make the Ohio GN in the Brougham.

There are two '57 and one '58 Broughams in Hungary.
The one you can see above was the cover car here: http://www.eldoradobrougham.com/BroughamLiterature/BOA/VOL_11/Vol_11_No_1.pdf

Sorry,

I have been out taking photos and admiring the cars for the past 3 days.  Unfortunately, I have packed my cameras in my bags for the flight back home, and I didn't bring enough technology to upload photos to my laptop anyway.  I will post what I can as soon as I can upon my return home.  I assure you, the place is packed with first class Caddy's.  BTW, the heat index here with the temp and humidity must be nearing the equivalent of a solar flare.

Hi Vince,

Is that Martina Butler's car in the foreground of the second photo?

No, that was a 1963 Park Avenue.  Martina & Frank were here but they fly.

Here's a couple more shots.

Fins, the bottom one is for you.

I love the theory behind the '63 Park Avenue Sedan de Ville. "Specially designed with a shorter rear deck and subsequent less over-all length - but with full Cadillac interior roominess - the Park Avenue maneuvers to the envy of many smaller cars. It is a motor car with particular appeal to the ladies."
So, Cadillac built an 8 inches shorter car for ladies parking in towns ..... but it was still 215" long. :)

Which was the oldest car in Kansas?
Which was the youngest one?
Which was the most individual?
Which one(s) got 100 points?

I think the 1910 in the second set of pictures that I posted was the oldest.  I don't know the answer to the other questions.
