The Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals is going for the gold ring, the 3 Rapid Transit System Caravan cars from the Steven Juliano Collection will be there this year for the Tenth Anniversary MCACN

In addition to the Rapid Transit System Caravan cars along with special Guest Chuck Miller, who originally created them, there will also be:

A 50th anniversary display spotlighting the 1968 model year, dubbed The Class of ’68, will have several “displays within the display” that are sure to be a hit. This includes a gathering of significant Hurst built 426 Hemi powered Dodge Darts and Barracudas.

The Corvette Legends Invitational will showcase the L/88 powered 68 and 69’s

the Muscle Cars Forever stamps, 2013 (Thanks Bruce!)

“The muscle cars gave everyday Americans the opportunity to experience the rush of driving a fast, powerful car,” said Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe. “Just looking at the stamps evokes a feeling of speed. As Forever stamps, they’ll always be good for mailing a First-Class letter anytime in the future. And when you think about it, that’s fitting. Because these stamps—just like the great cars they represent—are timeless.”

The Muscle Cars Forever stamps are the third issuance in the America on the Move stamp series. The artwork was created by Tom Fritz of Newbury Park, CA

WHOA! I just found something incredible, the Muscle Car and vette nationals people have a page on their website for EVERY article done about the cars at the event! (read the articles for the best armchair and sofa coverage of the MCACN)

This is just a sample of the page, http://www.mcacn.com/Media.htm  and you click onto any one of these magazine covers, and it downloads a PDF of the event coverage.... it's Awesome!
