Keep in mind they get about 1000 cars there and the earlier you get there the better the parking place. By 9:00 or 9:30 it's begining to get crowded. By 11:00 you'll be parking quite a distance from the bulk of the cars. I'm bringing the DeLorean and because of it's roots with Lotus they include it in their group. I meet them for breakfast early and we try to get to W&W's before 9:00. This is one of the larger car gatherings of the year and rumor has it it may be the last year as Classic Motor Books was sold over a year ago and the warehouse is moving to Minneapolis. The neat thing about this is the variety of cars. So many local car shows are all 50's and 60's with street rods thrown in. At Wheels and Wings you get those but there are also a lot of exotic cars you don't see that often. The other thing is the book sale which offers ton's of automotive and military books at prices as low as 50% off.
