I was thinking of putting the Grand Marquis in it for the heck of it, but the entrance fee was $50! Why is the Ford show $50 compared to the others that are $30? Grbeck?

Well, the Mopar show is actually $40, same as the Ford show. The GM show is $30, because it's a much smaller show and they're still trying to "grow" it. However, there is a cutoff date, so many days before the show, where they raise the fee by $10, which puts the Ford and Mopar shows to $50, and the GM show to $40.
If you put two cars in the show, they do give you a break. For instance, in 2002-2005, I used to put both the Intrepid and the 5th Ave in the Mopar show. The second car was either $5 or $10 cheaper, I forget now.

I haven't figured out how this forum works yet. So sorry for three posts that seem to be separated.
Anyhow, Admission price for spectators is $10 and it's a tax write off. Children 12 and under free. Any questions don't hesitate to email me at tvague softininc.org Thank you for everyone's support in this incredible organization!

On what basis is the admission cost a tax write off?

SOFTIN is a 501 (c) (3) non profit organization. Admission, the car entries, vender spaces, silent auction and things bought from SOFTIN are tax write off's. It's all charitable donations which are all tax write off's.

I, (hopefully) will be at the Carlisle All-GM Show with my 1989 Cadillac Brougham...IF IT EVER STOPS RAINING!!! I'm afraid I'll have to bring it as it is as I can't get a chance to detail it.

For a quick detail after a rain, I use Meguiars Ultimate Detailer - it works very well with clearcoat paints, puts kind of a glaze on the car - and it only takes a few minutes. You could do it at the show once you arrive.

Yeah, but 120 miles of wet road sure messes up the undercarriage and tires. This car has not seen rain or snow in years.

Maybe you should just drive the DTS if it will be nasty the day of the show. I don't take the fintail out in messy weather anymore either - it's too much of a pain to clean.

I just checked the weather for Carlisle, and they're calling for isolated T-storms on Friday and Sunday, and mostly sunny on Saturday. Highs in the upper 80's. Of course, this far out, it could change and for all we know an F-5 tornado could roll through by then.
I hope the weather holds out though, because I'm pretty much committed to bringing the Catalina at this point. I don't trust the LeMans that far. If it starts in the morning, it's good for the day. However, I have this vision of it getting me up there just fine on Friday, and behaving all day, only to refuse to start on Saturday morning.
I guess if the weather's too bad and I don't want to bring the Catalina out in it, I can always drive up in the Silverado.
