We have been invited to the New England Auto Museum's Father's Day Show.

The Viper is the FEATURED (American) Marque this year!

I will personally plan to go, and hopefully we can get some cool examples of each generation out there!!

It's not a new show, but it's news to me this year. I was contacted just this week by the organizers because they are featuring Viper this year.

Chuck will be working on the car that week, unless he fully dismantles it maybe I can sneak it out of his garage. If not I can bring something else up, Maybe Joe will trust me with his ACR :rolleyes:

Ed - I will try to make it if I'm not upstate at the land. For those of you with younger children, this is right next door to stepping stones museum which is a "touch" museum for kids. My boys love it (4 and 6 yo).

Hey James - totally aware. I do feel bad for the Norwalk organizers because they booked the date first (last year)
This spring, The Kingdom of New Canaan government gave C&C only one option for Waveny Park in June - the 17th - so they took it.

The organizers of this show and the organizers of C&C knew about the overlap and they are hoping to cross-promote.

a few things to remember:

1. they don't need to be mutually exclusive - C&C is over early and this doesn't start until 10.
2. as a club, we go to C&C twice every year. We've never done the Norwalk show.
3. Although the C&C turnout is amazing, Viper is a 'second class citizen' at best there. Viper is being featured at the Norwalk show and we got a direct invitation from the organizers.

I obviously understand the draw of C&C and no judgements, it's awesome! For this weekend I prefer to support something that supports us.

I also thought that the Waveny park C&C was now invite only, but I could be mistaken. You needed to contact C&C ahead of time and get approval.

I can’t make the show that day. The distance and time frame won’t work with my daughters plans with me that day. Sorry to miss this one.

Ed my man if it wasn’t Father’s Day I would absolutely go to both but I have family obligations after C&C so I can’t make Norwalk otherwise would have been there... with that said....

Who wants to hit C&C early before Norwalk?

I’m leaving Ridgefield CT early to get a good spot and appreciate the cars coming in
