Today I had my DeLorean on display at the annual car show that I attend in Fernandina Beach, Florida. It's an amazing show every year with over 300 cars and over 15,000 spectators. Lately, I've gotten tired of the car show scene, but this show is different. I didn't hear one negative comment about the DeLorean, and not a single cocaine comment! That's the way this show is. It's just classy.
I got to speak to MANY people about the car all day, and people were taking photos of it all day. One older gentleman that I spoke to looked at the original window sticker on it, and went wild with excitement! He yelled over across the street to his friend that quickly walked over and looked at the window sticker as well. With that, the man turned around and introduced himself as Don Williamson. He then told me that he was the salesman that sold my car in 1981 at his dealership Moore Buick GMC up in Jacksonville, NC! He even handed me his business card from the dealership, that he now owns. He is on vacation down here, and decided to come check out the show!
We spoke for awhile, and he shared his memories of that car, and even remembered Robert Gooden, the
customer that he sold it to! And yes, it was the very same person that I bought it from 4 years ago!
Small world, huh! That made my day!

Here is a pic that I took of him with my car. Reunited almost 30 years later!
