The Alfatross made it to the Santa Fe Concorso's Friday Night Gathering without incident after all. Once again, just as at the Arizona Concours d'Elegance, she effortlessly did everything we asked of her. None of the fears voiced in the previous post materialized.

As I write this she is on the Concorso show field, waiting for the morrow when we return to prepare her for viewing and judging. It's going to be cold and possibly wet tonight. If cars have feelings she's probably miserable and lonely, even with all those unfamiliar cars around her. I offered to sit up with her all night.
But they wouldn't let me.
Did she have a blanket, at least?
