Pinto Car Club of America

For the second year, the Losers Car Club of Wisconsin was invited to participate in the Greater Milwaukee Auto Show sponsored by Motor Trend. I have my 78 Squire wagon on display along with a nice selection of other cars/trucks/Jeep.
The display has once again been the talk of the show  ;D
Please enjoy the pictures

Awesome! Always nice to see Pintos at high class indoor car shows :)

That Jeep is a beauty to! ;) (almost identical to my friend's that we are resurrecting)

I was a little bit nervous about having the unrestored cars there but people are really digging them. I think most of the spectators can relate to them more then the others that are on display. That is until I point out the rock chips and road wear on the others because they are driven to all of the shows we attend

Here are pictures from the Load Out. I am truly amazed at what people say at these shows. My Pinto was called a Vega more times than I can count. A 10-12 year old called it a Camaro station wagon and some person (polite way of saying it) insisted that the Pinto wagons were four doors. Did not want to take no for an answer  ;D  It was determined that some people must have taken their stupid pills on Saturday and Sunday (this past weekend) and decided to come to the show  ;D

Enjoy

The Greater Milwaukee Auto Show parks at the U.S. Cellular Arena this week through Sunday, offering a glimpse at the latest pre-production models, including the Corvette Stingray, the 2011 Lincoln MKX, the 2011 Fort Mustang V6 and 2011 Hyundai Sonata. There will also be displays of exotic high-end Maseratis and obscurities from Hollywood car builder Jay Ohrberg, as well as an exhibit on green cars like the Ford Escape Hybrid and the Toyota Prius. It should be interesting to see what Toyota's presence at the event is, given the carmaker's recent troubles.
