DeLorean Convention and Show (DCS 2016) - Official Photos thread

[Rich W]

Sorry I forgot to create this thread before the Convention and Show.

I will be posting plenty of photos to this thread, as I have time, in the coming weeks.

Feel free to post your photos (or links to photos) here as well.

Thanks

I transported most of my vehicles (and the Raffle Car) on Tuesday and Wednesday before the event.

I moved in the D Rex, the D Limo and the BTTF Prop Car before the Vendors started to move in at 8am.

Most of the Vendors did not make the 8am start time, but Stephen Clark (BTTF) was first Vendor in line.

Yep, that was the look I was going for in that photo.

And of course I forgot to bring the RC version to play with in the building (but no time for me to play).

A few photos of some DeLoreans in the parking garage on Wednesday (and a few thanks).

The 2016 DeLorean Raffle Car, Tony Swann's daily driver Stage II car and Oliver Holler's car.

A big thanks to both my brother Rob (and his 4 sons) and to Oliver Holler.

My brother helped with multiple transports, to and from Springfield, as well as moving cars
in and out of the PCCC with me (and operating the "manual" overhead doors in the PCCC).

My brother Rob drove Tony's car down, while I drove the Raffle Car, down and my oldest
nephew James followed us in his car, to get us back to drive the trucks and trailers down.

Oliver graciously accepted my request to pick up Michael Scheffe at the Bloomington Airport
in Oliver's Time Machine, which was thoroughly appreciated by Michael.

(Yes, I did warn Michael in advance to "pack lite", but otherwise the pickup was a surprise).

I mentioned in the other thread, but I found some nice things at these links:


The #DCS2016 hashtag was helpful https://twitter.com/hashtag/DCS2016?src=hash

The DeLorean Convention profile was also useful https://twitter.com/DeLoreanShow

I took a ton of pictures of John K's car, I was really impressed with it. It has the exact stance that I want when I buy my car next spring. I'm hoping he can help me when I reach out to him.

A quick photo taken with the Main Hall lights at night, turned down to about 25%.
(this was just after I let a last minute arrival in, after Thursday night's dinner)

And a photo of Bob Gale - Wild Gunman (in the Back to the Future Room).

44834

This was Tony's Swann's Wild Gunman Replica, as seen at NY Comic Con in 2015,
in the Café 80's recreation for the Pepsi Perfect promotion.

Mods: Sorry, feel free to rotate Bob's photo correctly when you get a moment.

Notice my new addition, my own "Mr. Fusion. It will be great for car shows with my car. However, If I can figure out to hook it up to the house, 1.21 Gigawatts, no more power bills. :neener:. And the best part, Bob Gale autographed it.

Why do the pictures show up sideways? They are correct on the phone and computer.

[Rich W]

How many times can you thank Oliver and Terry Holler? ... Whatever number it is, its never enough.

DCS 2016 raised over $700 for the MJF Foundation with the help of Team Fox members Oliver and Terry.

Car Show (11-4) on Saturday was Free, but we accepted donations from the public as they entered the show.

Thank you to the organizers and volunteers for a great show (my first).

[DMCMW Dave]

Here are a couple of cheesy dashcam videos as we were leaving the show after loading the vans. A good perspective of how massive this place was.

Kind of an interesting caravan. I was driving Tony's DeLorean, followed by Hollers BTTF car, then Tyler's Aston, and then the two vans.

Pardon my buggy windshield. And my first attempt at editing and uploading dashcam video.

Videos from my drive and the convention itself. The 2-3 minute mark is just walking by a lot of cars, I find it interesting, but if you don't just jump ahead a minute.

"Scenic Iowa"....one of the greatest oxymorons.

[Rich W]

Thanks for posting all the photos and video links ... some really good stuff.

Speaking of good stuff ...

For those of you that did not attend DCS 2016, there were a few unexpected surprises that culminated during the convention,
which is another great reason to attend all of the dinners, since you never know what can happen and when it will happen.

For those of you that did not attend the dinner on Saturday, you missed out on the "Tale of Two Legends" presentation that
had to be delayed until after the dinner (instead of during the convention) due to Rob Grady's delayed arrival on Saturday.

Another surprise on Saturday actually began after the dinner on Friday, at the end of Dr. Giancarlo Perini's presentation, with
the announcement that Dr. Perini brought along a few new numbered copies of some DeLorean sketches (by Giugiaro himself)
that would be split into two groups ... one set for "door prizes" on Saturday evening and another set for "silent auction", with
the proceeds going to Giugiaro's wife's charity. This was a surprise for the Planning Team, as well as for the DCS attendees.

While I will not display the entire Giugiaro sketch, I will post a cropped copy of just the lower left hand corner of the sketch,
which includes a half dozen different views of the DeLorean, exterior and interior, with views of doors closed and doors open.

It's safe to say that Dr. Giancarlo Perini still has a very close relationship with Giugiaro and that Giancarlo is "full of surprises",
so that should be enough of a teaser (for now), to let you know what the Planning Team may be trying to plan for DCS 2018.

Who, What, Where and When are all still on the table, but after some preliminary planning, we may know what may be possible.

Thanks everyone for sharing the pics and videos!

Here's a link to a shared album I created on Google Photos with a few that I took:

For those of us who do not know the elusive Tamir, and would have liked to meet him, which one is he?

I hope someone laughed at that.

One of our DMC Club members sent me this link at the Spring Brunch event,
during the review of DCS 2016 last Sunday. I had not seen these photos.
