We had a total of 27 KFW vehicles on display for the 20 to 25 thousand spectators that walked through asking questions and giving nice compliments. We had one Allstate, one Darrin, three Frazers ( two were 51 convertibles) five Henry Js (one a station wagon prototype), two Jeepsters, six Kaisers (one custom made convertible),  four Willys Aeros, three Willys Jeeps, and one Willys 2600 from Brazil (from Bill Tilden Estate). We also had a total of 91 people participate in our activities. It is interesting that out of the 27 vehicles that we had there 17 of them were either Willys vehicles or had Willys engines. Click on this link and you cash see the vehicles that we had there. http://bobcooper.net/Carlisle

I attended and the KFW cars were placed in the middle of the action - meaning everyone who went from one swap field to the other, or to the auction buildings walked by our cars. They received a lot of attention and I was surprised at the number of folks who said they'd never seen one in person.
Hats off to the organizers for a job well done!

One of the organizers of this show owns (and showed) his Willys Aero and is a KFOCI member. Sometimes a little nepotism goes a long way. Nice pics, thanx for posting them.
