Just got back from a weekend at the All Chrysler Nationals in Carlisle, PA. It's one of the largest Chrysler shows in the country - we had over 2,200 cars entered this weekend. They have some show cars, specialty cars, and usually one or two special theme categories, but the bulk of the show is made up of the "Fun Field" - anyone with a Chrysler (or related) product can bring it down. I've been going for close to 15 years, and have entered my Stratus the past 5 years. The show also serves as the annual get-together of the Mopar Mailing List, an e-mail group I belong to. We have a big BBQ on Saturday evening - this year we had 70+ people - and everyone eagerly anticipates our traditional main course, deep fried turkey!
I love E-bodies (1970-74 Barracudas and Challengers)
Long-time drag racer "Big Daddy" Don Garlits was in attendance.
Lots of old iron as well, like this 1948 Chrysler New Yorker.
This is what I love about the Fun Field - go down one row and see a gaggle of Hemi Road Runners, go down the next and see a K-Car wagon!
This sharp Belvedere wagon belongs to a fellow MML member.
This restored Nassau County Highway Patrol Plymouth Gran Fury is owned by a current NCPD Highway Patrol member.
They set up a replica of a 1969 dealership.

One of our members proudly showing his MML affiliation :D
They don't make them like this anymore...probably a good thing, as there probably isn't enough steel left in the world to make them like this anymore!
Flames on an LHS sedan? Why not...and yes, this one is owned by an MMLer too :D
Here's part of the vendor area - you can get just about anything Mopar related, just bring money!
Mopar's historic "High Impact" colors have made a comeback recently.
One mean fish!
Saturday wraps up with a burn-out contest. We couldn't figure out how this guy made all the pink smoke!
