Vehicles on Display Saturday 8/8/10

Unread post by m151dave » August 8th, 2010, 2:43 pm

The Last Patrol and the Kansas Museum of Military History partner together and Saturday we attended not one but two events. Temperatures ran about 98 to 100, depending on clouds (if any at the time). Very little wind. That being said, the turnout of crowds was still pretty good and we brought our own shade so it was good. The first event from 1000hrs to 1500hrs was at the Andover Public Library, a planes, trains and automobile special. The second was the annual car show in Augusta from 1500hrs to 2200hrs.
A long day! Here are some photos from both events.......

When the Huey, Guntruck and my jeep are all going down the road to an event, we tend to slow traffic and turn heads!

Looks like a hot, but fun day. I've posted your pictures on the Vietnam Gun Truck site.

Thank you guys! We are pretty happy with the end result. I am also glad to have my jeep repainted to match. Ralph, thanks for posting, I was going to and never got to get it done!

How is the gathering?
