Your LC500 is more for a higher end show....next to a Aston Martin....Jaguar....LS500 and Mercedes S coupe type of stuff

Nice pics.
Although you didn't get a clear shot of it, I think I like the black late-60s Buick Wildcat the best, the one next to the silver Porsche. IMO, among mass-produced cars, one cannot beat the full-size Buicks of the 1960s for automotive class.....although the big (and somewhat noisier) Chrysler products handled better with the unibody/torsion-bar/leaf-suspension setup, and had arguably a more efficient automatic transmission.
That two-tone "59 Chevy with the rear-antennas is also sharp.

Nice! Out of all those cool cars, I would take your LC500 home. It's the best daily and all around trip car. A friend of mine had a fully mint 1988 Porsche 930 Turbo he bought in 97. By the time you hit second gear you were already at 60 mph, he beat most cars by second gear. That was the coolest car, but it really beat you up driving it. You actually felt tired after driving it because you had to put so much work into it. Especially if you hit traffic. For more than 15 years he mainly parked it in his garage and took it out occasionally for a weekend run. He ended up selling it around 2015 for a little more than he paid for it ($40K). He should have held on to it, because today he could've gotten $70K or $80K

i'm always impressed with the dedication and quality people put into restoring/preserving old cars. Quite amazing.

Went to a C&C event in NorCal (Blackhawk Plaza) a few years back and saw a lot of great cars but no Japan-based cars; not even GTRs. Lot of exotics and classic American muscle cars. Fun event but the Club Lexus meets had more for me.....
