It was an amazing weekend. For the first time in the history of DeLorean car shows, John Z DeLorean himself attended the show. He was extremely gracious to put up with all of us asking for autographs or pictures. This was also the largest gathering of cars for a show at 101 cars.

All of these photos were taken by my wife Judy. I was running the camcorder or I was acting as judge for the concours on Saturday.
