Geez, I never get tire of these cars.
Only saw one, maybe two 28/29 pickups. Are they that rare, or just not popular with the touring crowd?

A big hand for the organizers on keeping that many cars moving. It could have been a huge antique traffic jam.

Very, very neat video. Easy to see how rare the A400's are, how many p/u's went along, etc. Thanks for posting. Ned

Being a cabriolet guy, I saw half a dozen or so, including, I think, the reproduction of the Gordon Burig one. Great video.

it was a great tour,we didn't experience any problems with traffic
we had a map that got us there, as we got separated with red lights
I thought
the Le may auto collection was better than the old Harrahs,and more cars too,
weather was perfect
the only casualty I saw was the red station wagon lost his horn cover and a truck ran over it
and on the way home someone dropped his Ipad, guess it was on the running board
the fellow in front of us picked it up

"the Le may auto collection was better than the old Harrahs,and more cars too,"

That's good news.

I've never been to Harrah's but thought we lost something special when I heard about the cars being auctioned off years ago.

MY LORD! How many cars were there? Buster T. & I lost count! Buster T. spotted some old odd coupe, with wood spoke wheels, a Chevy maybe?? & one hot rod. We "think" we spotted our friend, John Hulstrom, in his OCPU, built from reproduction body parts & authentic Model A power train. It has the slightly extended driver's compartment, for comfort.

Plenty Downunder in NZ & Aussie, also Sth America & Sth Africa.
Only spotted a couple of Pickups with the correct painted rad. shell which looks much better & singles them out.
Great video, thanks.

There was a 27 Buick coupe in there too. It was owned by an A'er whose car did not run. Nice car too.

The tour was great, as was the tour to Freds Garage. Both tours ran through some really beautiful country. The tour crew worked overtime to provide good roads with many good photo ops, good directions, good start coordination and ample parking.. Le Mays collection was so big that I never got to the motorcycle room before the place had to close. I heard (unofficially) there were around 230 A's lined up on the lawn at the old convent.
