Event Coverage Crown point concourse

time for the crown point concourse car show at the lake county fairgrounds in crown point indiana.
these photos sent to me by killbilly during set up on Friday.
more to come tomorrow when I'm able to attend

 

this show is organized by a local dentist who at one time owned the khougaz roadster. i went to school with his brother

 

I’m far from being a custom car guy but that Forty-one
(I think it is) is slick.

 

phil was saying that it was built from a 46 coupe

 

Dentist huh? Are you telling us the tooth? Hehe.

 

52 Allard with a good sounding 331 cadillac in it

 

Rick, thanks for the photos. One of these years I will be in town, so I can attend.

this one sort of reminds me of the cartoon of the old couple in the stocker looking down at the young couple in the hot rod version of their car

Thanks Rick.

Good lighting with all the windows. Easier on the eyes than a lot of dazzling lights.

 

@silent rick Is that turquoise and white 56 chevy Rich Martins? It’s the twin to mine.

 

Great cars, what is the history of the building the show is housed in?

 

If rich sitting behind it and hanging around it all afternoon was any indication, I'd say it was

 

I heard there was a dentist from Frankfort Indiana with a car collection including a Tucker Torpedo. Same guy perhaps....?

 

The fairgrounds were established in the 1850's but I don't think any of the buildings exist from then.
The car show is just one of many events held in the building year round. The industrial arts building, as it's called is a unique cross shaped design with four equal size wings.
A large fire destroyed many of the original buildings around WW1, this one was built in 1926.

It is a cool old building

 

Thanks for sharing your photos.

 

I saw a pic of it that Podo posted that made me believe it was

 

show is by invite only, those who didn't make it inside park outside

 

Very good coverage Rick. Thanks again.
