Vanderbilt Cup Races

A great time was had by all at last Sunday's Kings Point Auto Show hosted by the Kings Point Auto Club.

Above is Chrysler's Chrysler  with MIDN Andrew Starling, president of the club, and faculty advisor Captain Peter Kahl.

Here some wonderful highlights.

Enjoy,

The Kings Point Auto Club hosted the annual Kings Point Auto Show today. New York State and CDC guidelines allowed for a relaxation of mask wear and social distancing for many midshipmen, but as you can see, there was a mix present among the attendees. Notwithstanding, we are pleased to share these smiling faces with you... finally. MIDN Andrew Starling, President, and the Kings Point Auto Club under the direction of CAPT Peter Kahl, did a great job attracting many unique and interesting cars to the show. One of the stars was a custom built, one-of-a-kind, 1937 Chrysler Imperial LeBaron Town Car built for Walter Chrysler as a gift for his wife, Della. It is affectionately know as, Mrs. Chrysler's Chrysler, and has spent some time on campus when it was the Chrysler compound. BZ to the Kings Point Auto Club for their persistence in pulling together a great show. Like and Share at @USMMAOfficial.
