2017 CONCOURS d’ELEGANCE - Sunday, April 16, 2017

Once again we were invited to participate in the 2017 Concours d’Elegance Easter Car Show by the Horseless Carriage Club of Missouri (HCCM). This year Easter Sunday fell on April 16 so, even though we had warm weather, there was rain and a lingering threat. Thanks to all who signed up and especially to those that braved the elements to drive. Special thanks to co-president Frank Garamella for making all the arrangements in spite of a pending medical procedure. Those that drove: Frank Garamella (1929 CMC Mercedes-Benz Gazelle), Andre Garamella (1952 FiberFab MG-TD), Larry Lester (1936 Classic Roadsters Mercedes-Benz Marlene), Ed Morrison (Sebring MX 3000 Austin-Healey), Mark Patterson (1966 Factory Five Cobra Roadster), Dan and Jody Doerer (1966 Midstates Cobra Roadster). Also attending: Joe Messler, Joe Marino, Ken and Toni McDonough, Tom Hammelman. Pat Maginn, Mark Ohm. Some highlights (other than funnel cakes):
