Because it was such warm there were far less visitors.
3 other collectors and myself had a stand with parts of our collections for show and as thee was a real Ford Mustang along our stand we mainly brought American cars.
We made promotion for the Dutch NAMAC club and the big exhbition in The Hague.
I was already in Putten around 9.00 and we had a good stand with somewhat shadow.
The morning started with the usual parade of WWII militairy vehicles, then the classic cars and then the old trucks. There were no old tractors this year.
All the vehicles went through the main shopping street and therefore came along our stand but after the cars came along I went to the nearby squar to take better photos and didn't see the parade o the trucks. On another squar they were later parked and I took photos of the vintage trucks only.
Comments are welcome !

After the Ford Pickup I went to a nearby squar to see the calssic cars parking. This was a good idea. Allthough I missed the truck parade I ould take better photos of the cars as there was more space around the cars and not so many people yet.
I realy loved this Paris Bus (Solido made a model of it) The drive aloud me to take photos inside aswell.
When I visited Paris for the 1st time aprox 25 years ago on one line open balcony busses were still in use but of a later type.
Nice Mercedes on the squar
Citroen
Back to the NAMAC stand. We had a lot of crowd along the stand for most of the day allthough less people visitted the event compared to other years.
We gived 100 posters away of a Ford Mustang.
When I returned to the stand a former USA schoolbus was parking on the other side of the street. The bus was overpainted and now in use for promotion model for a Dutch ZOO. Very clever and well made.

A nice Triumph Stag
A Vespa from Italia
I didn't take photos of later trucks but as this is an american truck I did take a photo of it. All the trucks were parked on the same squear next to the squar with cars.

I realy liked this one:

My cameracard was full as I also had the photos on my card taken at the opening of the model car exhbition in The Hague.
So this was it. Please post your comments here if you want to see more of these photo-reports.
