There's lots to like in your selection Julio. I do like a Mustang and the line-up at your event was impressive. Do you call that many a "pony of Mustangs"? The black Dodge with the oh so '70s orange and red stripes also caught my eye. The yellow Ford truck looks like an overgrown Hot Wheels car . Also, the quality of your photos is exceptional.

While cycling this Sunday I encountered this car exhibit around one of the most iconic landmarks in Guadalajara, the Minerva fountain roundabout! It was quite varied and definitely mediocre, especially when compared to some of the ones you’ve shared recently but, there were a few (very few) cars worth a second look. Thanks for the look around Julio. For me, it is interesting to pick out which vehicles were built and/or sold new in Mexico and which were not. The Galaxie above (would have been a LTD in the US) is a good example of a well preserved (or restored?) Mexican spec car.

Interesting- forgettable for you, great for me! Very nice pictures Julio! We will forget about the poor abused Fiat Topolino. Julio, your photos are no less interesting or valuable than anyone else's display! What fun to see different scenery. Truth be told, the scenery in some ways is not much different than some parts of South Florida since the climate is a bit similar there (probably just more humidity on this side To the cars, many exciting rides! I love the '70s blue LTD 2 Door in blue! The AMCs are all good. That yellow Ford custom huge pickup monster! Beautiful limestone colored Bluebird. Yellow-creme Matador. The '77-'78 Aspen Coupe with the big motor - I think that gen of Mopar was a very well-styled and looks sharp today, especially in a rarer trim like you've shown. An acquaintance in High School had one so I spent some time in one, even though his was completely worn out at 9 years old (78 model in 1987). Keep sharing them gents! I need to be on the lookout for some shows in these parts? Only one I ever think to attend in the Amelia Island Concours, yet there must be many more? Nice photos Julio and Paul! I like small car shows. One, I am assured of seeing all the cars, but also sometimes the small intimate shows have been the most fun. The bikes on the plaza and close to the cars would make me nervous though! I love your Impala Paul! There's lots to like in your selection Julio.

I’m really glad that you’ve liked my photos so much! Great show, Paul! That cool 1959 Dodge and the gorgeous 1941 Cadillac are my favourite! Thanks for sharing!

Splendid! Splendid! What a cool journey and of course the photos of the Alfa Museum speak volumes for themselves! Is that you in the Alfa at the gate? Anxiously awaiting more Paul!

You are a right b*****d Paul - firstly for posting these without warning me ahead if time and secondly for not inviting me. You're off my Christmas Card list . This place is at the top of my "must do" list. last time we were in Milan the Museo had yet to reopen so we missed it. There is a not a dud amongst that lot. Were you able to get into the basement where they keep the hordes of non-display cars?

Amazing! I think I've seen most of those '20s and '30s racers in a special exhibition on the Alfa stand of the Techno Classica, the rest I generally know as models. Legendary stuff.
