Here's a few pictures I took while working with the 303 Team at Mecum Auctions. The 3030 Staff were top notch to work with and everyone that came into the booth was treated like royalty. 303 is a major sponsor of the Mecum Auctions as such, they have a huge booth in a great location and I'm happy to say the booth stayed super busy from start to finish each day. Lots of people coming into the booth to learn about the new products as well as their favorite established products.

Andre and I kept the black demo hood busy by machine wetsanding the paint and then showing how well the 3030 compounds and polishes worked to remove 100% of the sanding marks and leave a show car finish.

Nicole’s FIRST post - welcome to Autogeek Online Nicole. :props:
You’ll be out in the Show Car Garage polishing cars with Mike in no time (if you don’t already) :buffing:
So much cool stuff going on over there constantly. MTE must be the next event on the calendar too. If I remember rightly it would’ve originally been the weekend of the 10th because we changed our travel plans to head back to Orlando to attend, then they changed it ...
Geeze - the booth from last year looks great! Very cool. :props:

Hey Mike awesome pics. In your opinion, what kind of shape is the paint in on the cars there? Over the years they are typically swirled up on tv when the camera pans across them. But lately they seem to be better, is that what you are seeing first hand also?

Spotted this very rare Blazer Chalet while walking out of the auction last night.

I stopped by a couple of times and you were busy doing demos and didn’t want to interrupt. What a great event.

Would have liked to have been there for the Bullitt sale. I bet it was crazy. $3.4 Million, wow !
Bullitt "Fun Facts" :
- The chase scene wasn't even in the original script for the film.
- Just (2) '68 Mustang 390 GT 2+2 Fastbacks and (2) '68 Charger 440 Magnums were used in the film. Both Chargers and one of the Mustangs were junked right after the film was shot.
- On interior shots, you can tell when McQueen is driving vs. when Bud Ekins is driving. When McQueen is driving, the rearview mirror is tilted down to show his whole face; when the mirror is tilted up and you can only see the bottom part of a face, it's Ekins driving.
- Bill Hickman, the actor who played the Charger driver actually did the driving. He later did other car driving stunts in movies, including The French Connection. And he was driving his buddy James Dean's station wagon and trailer, following Dean in the Porsche Spyder, the day Dean crashed and died. Hickman pulled Dean's body from the wreckage.
