    Hi Erik,
    that`s good news and I am looking forward to meet Fred talking -again- about his 300S #3077 (ex-3056). A pity that you can`t be there!

    Ciao!

    It rained almost the entire drive from Philadelphia (and on the way back). However, it stopped raining for a little while and with the foggy conditions it made some interesting photos so here they are

    Walter, it was nice to meet you in person.

    Next time I think I will stay overnight. Hopefully I won't be driving a rental car either.

    The cars were certainly great, the location looks great too if only it hadn't been so rainy.

    Walter, Nice meeting you at the concours. I'm no historian so I don't chime in but love the old Maseratis and reading your posts. It was a pleasant surprise to read you would be at the show and fun to say hello. Wil de Groot

    Nice photos! I'll take it as a compliment that the only Ferrari photo you posted here was of my car. I enjoyed the show and especially all the vintage Maseratis. The rain and fog actually gave it a nice atmosphere, especially in the photos, even though I wasn't happy about the thought of having to drive out through the mud. Had it on the track Sunday and Monday - a real blast. Watching them pull the tractor-trailer out of the muck after the concours with a tracked excavator, after the big-rig tow truck failed with it's long cable, was a show in itself. Great event!

    Well Guys,
    it was a very nice weekend although the weather on saturday was "discussable" ::))
    Bu I was quite impressed by the very good quality of the Maseratis displayed on the lawn at Skytop Lodge!

    Nice to meet you all over there and many thanks to Joe Corbaccio who made it possible!.

    Here is Ermanno Cozza, Heart & Soul of Maserati S.p.A. in Pocono, united with the Tipo 26 (#3004), with the 16-cyl.-car (#4002) and the famous Indy-winner 8CTF (#3032).

    Ciao!

    Hey Mitchel, even with some of the cars upside down and sideways they STILL got wet didn't they? ;>))

    Thanks for the pictures and hope your 550 is OK. What was the issue?

    Thank you, yes I think your Ferrari is a nicely modified and clean car. Those two things rarely seem to go together, regardless of the marque. I'm curious about what else you've done to it, but I don't want to take the thread too far off topic.
