2009 All Chrysler and All Truck Nationals in Carlisle, PA

The 2009 All Chrysler show was this past July 10-12, at the Carlisle fairgrounds. This is a 100+acer facility that holds some of the largest car shows on the East Coast. Arriving Friday morning, the clouds soon became thick, and darker. This eventually led to heavy rain storms later Saturday afternoon, into Saturday night.

The show was not a wash out though! Saturday, I got to meet Mr. Norm. He owned a small dealership back in the 60-70's. He would take stock cars, and "tweek" them before selling them. He is currently working on a 2010 Cuda prototype with 900-1200hp! Not bad if you have the money! Other events I attended included the truck tug of war, which was pretty epic!, and a meet and greet with Bo Duke from the Dukes of Hazzard tv show.

The show itself covers all products under the Chrysler name: Dodge, Jeep, Eagle, Chrysler, and Plymouth. Lot of classic cars, and hot rods, but at the same time, lots of NEW muscle such as the Vipers, the Challengers, and the SRT Neons.

This was my 3rd year attending this event, and will be back for several years to come!

When awards time came, I walked away with Best Interior, People's Choice and 1st Place Truck 4x4 mod.
