Tim -
What may work out better is to create an album on a photo sharing service (shutterfly, flickr, picasa), then post the photos to that album. You'll find that it's a much easier process and as a bonus, folks can email the link to friends.
Note: If you go this route, be sure to make the album public and, of course, be sure to post the link here.

Tim,
Thanks for posting the photos, here or otherwise!

Curiosity is getting the best of me. After looking at the pictures posted above, I noticed a black '59 Firesweep 4D that looks extremely familiar. Dad sold one to a customer, Frank Bolin, in Beaverton, MI brand new in 1959. Frank died and the car went up for sale. Frank never put many miles on the car and should have been about like new.
Could this be the car? It was black with the anodized sweep and tan interior.
If anyone has info on this car, please message me.
Thanks,
Fred

Geoff and Dan took a much more comprehensive number of pictures that will be posted to an album like you suggest, Ron. I merely was snapping some highlights to get some pictures posted so that people had an idea of what was going on, and what they were missing.

Fred, almost certain you are talking about the 1959 Firesweep owned by Ruth Presutti-Graham. I was judging that class and it sounds like her car. It was her first convention and the car won best of class. Her contact info is in the 2015 roster.
Thanks Les,
Unfortunately my member guide is packed in Branson and we are still not moved in yet. I'll have to wait till we get down there and open all the boxes.
Anyway, it sure looks great.

I'm assembling some of the photos I shot into YouTube videos also. Here's the first, grills from a few cars that arrived early in the meet.

ANY convention pics are great, and thank you. BUT, turn photos right-side-up before posting, please!
