Signed model car from Auburn at my door.

Hi All. Wow a fantastic surprise today when Charlie Spitz from NJ showed up here in San Diego with this pink wrapped 1934 Cord model car with 44 of your signatures on it from the Durant annual meet in Auburn. Course they used the pick wrapping paper cause I was kidding everyone that I was going to paint the traveling Duesenberg pink. Ha. That was a whole lot of fun. Beautiful car with a base and the hood and truck and doors open up too. Really neat. I have it on my fireplace mantel for everyone to see. Me very touched and proud. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. I'll send some pictures of the car to Rick as I don't know how to post them.

Only 600, you are short a few....ha ha. of the total that we sent to Rick and Carol. BTW, since I was taking pics, I am only in one or two that i have, if you have one with peg and I please send electronically.....thanks

I took pics of Lance opening the pink package. Once he gets them to Rick, they can be posted. He was really suprised when I showed up at his door with the package.

He really looked at all of the signatures. He was touched by the thoughfulness of the DMAC.

Re: Signed model car from Auburn at my door.

you all have to understand, just as I was starting to take the photos, lance was getting a phone call, hence the head set.....trying to get him to pose while talking on the phone was a small challenge...but I did get a few photos.

I can say, he was really suprised.

Hi everyone
I am sure sorry I could not make it to the Auburn meet but you can count on me to be at the Oregon one. Been reading all the messages and I could bite myself for missing out on all the fun. I probably wont have my car done but I am coming if I have to walk --Hell it aint that far --only about 2 days driving time --just a good stretch of the legs.
Watch for me--I gonna be there.
