I don't know how many made it to United, but it was something to see. Over 40 Sunbeams at the famous Daytona Beach bandshell. Other than mine, I had never seen a Sunbeam in 'real life'. Here are a couple of pictures I took from the top of the movie theater.

There were several Non-Tiger cars that were wonderful. The Imp was awsome. There were also two Harrington Alpines and a Harrington Lemans (I may have missed a 4th Harrington). a '55 Alpine that was surprisingly quick at the Auto-X, Ed's wonderful car, and some very nice Alpines. Mr. Moon's white Alpine was a show stopper. He must have used a gallon of metal poilsh on those wheels. There was even a Sunbeam van/camper looking thing. I'm sure I missed a few Non-Tiger Sunbeams but you get the picture. The Tigers were out in force and the mutual admiration for all models of Sunbeams was the real theme of the event.

Looks like Bob Sharkey's car, did it have a tan interiour and absolutly top notch fit and finish? Bob's car is a Jose kit conversion.

Absolutely beautiful finish, tan interior and top, and New Jersey vanity plates. Wish I'd taken the time to crawl under it.
Look at the reflection in the hood, like a mirror!

Thanks for the reply.
