Owner; Charles Lingenfelter, North
Carolina
Free Seminars and
Presentations and So Much More!
If you have been to the
Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals show, you know there are many reasons
to attend and lots to see. Well, if you haven’t been to the
show and may be on the fence, let me tell you about some other things we
have going on, in addition to the 500+ cars, the many automotive only
vendors and great things to do for the kids to convince you.
FREE Seminars and
Presentations; The MCACN show has clearly established itself as
the place for anyone who has true passion for massively
overpowered examples of American Muscle and the finest and rarest
Corvettes. With that being said, we have asked a few of our good friends
to share some of their knowledge at our show. We have expanded our
Free Seminar series this year with several new
guests, along with some that are joining us again, due to popular
demand.
Bruce Shaw,
Esquire;
Bruce is known nationwide for his expertise in legal
matters pertaining to collectible cars. He will present a
Collector Car Fraud Seminar.
This covers unlawful and “gray
area” transactions regarding sales and purchases of collector cars to
the unwary. Subject areas include internet and auction problems, engine
re-stamping, numbers matching, and fraudulent advertising. Do not
miss this opportunity to be well informed! Saturday at
1:00.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Brian Styles
along with several special guests; Why Only One?
Did you see the Unveiling of The one and only 1967 Shelby GT500
convertible at our show back in 2011? Well, after the show, owners
Samantha and Brian Styles continued their quest to fill in the blanks.
"Why was only one built?" That question has been asked hundreds
of times over the last three decades -- ever since the 1967 Shelby G.T.
500 Convertible was first discovered in the late 1970s by Jamie
Ventrella. It was only in the last 18 months, that the question was
finally put to rest -- not by further scrutiny of the car, but rather by
stepping back and taking a closer look at the company that built the
car. What's been discovered will surprise everyone that follows the
hobby -- spoiler alert: the car was never a "prototype."
Saturday at 2:00.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Jim Mattison;
Jim has an entirely new seminar this year titled The Chevrolet
COPO Program; Behind the Scenes. Many of you think of
Jim as being the Pontiac guy, as owner of Pontiac Historical Services.
Did you know he also spent years working with the Chevy COPO program?
Here is your chance to learn from the source! Saturday at
3:00 and Sunday at Noon.
----------------------------------------------------------
Rusty “Tires”
Small; Inside look at collector car tires. If you know me, you
know how much I despise Radial T/A’s on 60’s and early 70’s Muscle Cars.
Sure...they are great tires for driving, but your E-Body Mopar, Boss 429
or Corvette L/88 should be on the proper Bias Ply tires. Learn all about
what is available now in reproduction tires that will provide the proper
look without sacrificing safety. You will also learn about dating
vintage tires and how to see if those vintage tires that look good could
be a real safety hazard. Saturday at 4:00.
------------------------------------------------------
Jim Luikens;
An Inside Look at the 60’s/70’s Supercar Dealers. As
Performance Manager of Berger Chevrolet in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Jim
was smack-dab in the middle of all of the action. Remember those cool
magazine ads with the dashing young man in the Chevy jacket? Jim is
that guy and he was one of the first to offer a full line of
factory and aftermarket performance goodies right over the counter at a
major dealership. As one of the most successful purveyors of High
Performance, Jim will step back to those glory days with some great
stories and insight...again, right from the source! Saturday
at Noon and Sunday at 11:00.

Bobby Unser;
Pikes Peak and Beyond;
Legendary racer and Motorsports
Hall of Famer and all around Ambassador of our hobby,
Bobby
Unser joins us Sunday (only) along with his 1969 Boss 429
powered Torino. Bobby has set countless records, not only at Pikes Peak
but also in all kinds of racing. Hear what it was like to smash the
record books, with a money is no object budget that assured
that records would be made. There is a reason they call Pikes Peak
“Unsers Peak” so plan on joining us for this up close and personal
presentation, hosted by Kevin Oeste of V8TV and
Presented by
The Brothers Collection.
Sunday at 1:00.
