Don't know if anyone else knows or knew about this but Apparently both versions of movie Bumblebbe will be on display at the World of Wheels in Atlanta this Weekend. I just found out about it myself.
Full details are Available here: http://www.autorama.com/casi/atlanta.htm
Anyway I plan to get down there today and will take plenty of pics if I can.

So, I got to hang with Movie Bumblebee this weekend and it was a pretty cool experience. Here are the pics I promised.
BTW only the 76 version of Bumblebee made an appearance. Originally they did have the Camaro concept scheduled to appear, but I guess that fell through. There are also a couple of the movie props on display, and a couple movie posters with Sgnatures From Peter Cullen, and a couple other people, sorry I didn't recognize the other names.
Anyway I hope you enjoy the pics.

Is that one of the two '76 Camaros they used? Cause that would be pretty sweet.

I think I read somewhere that they used three. But yeah it seems to me to be one of the actual ones used. I think this is the one that was auctioned on ebay cause they had two other props on display which were also auctioned on ebay I believe.
You can look at the pics and pretty much match the paint wear dead on with the movie footage...I checked myself.

I went down there to see it Friday afternoon. I was surprised at how beat to death that car is. It's like they dropped it off a cliff to get it ready for filming.

Still, it was nice to see it in real life instead of just on the tv. Plus I got to meet John Schneider. Not a bad use of $15.
