    I doubt anyone will read this but here is a link if you want to know. I will be attending this one. Many are interested in the early cars but I'm interested in the airplane props and motors which are being sold with the display. Also very beautiful rusty items. The La France is not parted out and has many items always missing when you find them. I have too much stuff on both coasts but sometimes you can not pass when when an op knocks.
