It was a great opportunity for our club members to meet new people, the FCA members are just as friendly and outgoing as the PCA and as we all know half the fun of owning these cars is enjoying it with your friends so it was an easy decision to get together for an epic drive. It really was epic, there were so many cars that we literally caused a traffic jam in the meeting place parking lot. The noise of all 48 engines at the same time and the sight of the candy bowl of colors was too beautiful to imagine.
We had a “code yellow” stop and a picnic stop along the way which was a nice chance to mingle and enjoy the 17 degree day.
After leaving the mountains, we continued on to Melrose on 17th ave. The staff had blocked off the entire street for us and as we arrived they removed the “no parking” signs individually so each car could have an optimal spot on the street. I was very impressed with their service and willingness to help us out. Most of us stayed there until the sun started to go down.
Special thanks to the FCA for helping to coordinate the day, with the help from the Vice president Glenn and the president Steven, they moved their original Highwood pass day to coincide with ours to make this possible. Glenn arranged all the reservations and parking arrangements at Melrose for us.
