This weekend will be the 13th Annual Keels and Wheels Concours d’ Elegance and Auction in Seabrook, Texas on May 3rd and 4th. There will be over 200 classic automobiles and 80 vintage wooden boats on display, including Ferrari, Riva, Chris Craft, Rolls Royce, and many others. They will also be vintage aircraft, jeeps and machine guns re-enacting some of the historic events of Pearl Harbor. They have booked the Tora, Tora, Tora Group to conduct an air attack on Sunday at 12:30pm.

Ronald Reagan’s 1952 Army Jeep, the Willys Model M38 A1 Jeep, and a 1914 Rolls Royce 40/50 Silver Ghost Skiff-Torpedo will be two of the 100+ great cars that will be going under the hammer at this year's event. The winning bidder of Reagan's historic jeep will also receive its Title which still reads “Reagan Protective Division. US Secret Service.”

To top off their War themed event, the Worldwide Group will have the famous "Kissing Sailor", Glenn Mc Duffie, from the 1945 Life Magazine cover attending this year’s show. According to a press release from events organizers:

For some time, many claimed to be the mysterious sailor seen kissing a nurse in the street, an iconic moment in photographic history. Only recently have tests proven that native Houstonian Glenn Mc Duffie is the real mystery sailor. McDuffie describes the moment as if it happened yesterday. "When I got off the subway I got to the top of the stairs and the lady up there said, 'Sailor, I'm so happy for you,'" said McDuffie. "I asked her why and she told me the war was over and I could go home. I ran into the street jumping and hollering. That nurse was out there and she turned around and put her arms out and that's when I kissed her," said McDuffie. "Then I heard someone running and I lifted my head and it was that photographer."

The Worldwide Group are auctioneers of some of the world’s finest automobiles, and you can view the entire line up of cars and details for the Houston Classic Auction on their website. In conjunction with the auction, the Lakewood Yacht Club will be presenting the 2nd annual Keels & Wheels Antique and Classic Boat Regatta on Thursday, May 2nd. It’s a great way to spend a long weekend on the Gulf coast.
