I have went to this show a few times as a spectator being I haven't had a interesting car on the road in years. As soon as I got my Rambler I planned on going, it sat for two years before I got her running but finally made it yesterday. I don't mind telling you, I was tired, after a hard weeks work I didn't feel like getting up out of a warm bed with the wife and washing the car to go. I laid there a while talking myself into it and I am sure glad I went. I had a BALL, a friggin ball talking with people, seeing old friends, meeting a bunch of new ones. It was really a blast, I was planning on leaving early but didn't leave until they kicked me out.
Some interesting stuff, and every end of the spectrum in quality, some outstanding cars out there!
Oh yeah the Rambler always draws a crowd. There were much nicer things to see there but it's interesting so it really does get it's share of attention.
This Pontiac was sold new at a dealership not a hundred feet from where the car was sitting. We are talking an old town, this dealership hadn't been there in 50 years or more.
This Kaiser Manhattan (with a factory Supercharger!) was also bought new at a Kaiser dealer here in town. The building is still there and is an auto repair shop, very cool.
The Studebaker club was there.
A couple of close ups of an amazingly detailed 57 Chevy.
I never get tired of seeing this truck, it's a beauty!
If someone told me that one day I would see the very hearse that I pulled my mom and dad's caskets out of being displayed at a car show BY the mortuary,I would have said, "Come on, they aren't that tacky, they would never do that". But I would have been wrong.
A cousin of my Rambler was there.
Sweet!
Sweet.
And a grandson of my Rambler.
SWEET!
And check out this hand made intake on one of the Inliners International club that was there.
Look at that intake close up, this was cut on a CNC machine. The entire car was BEAUTIFUL!
Another in a 48 Buick.
Can we say HOT ROD?
And one of my favorites for sure was this very cool little T.
And check out the steering and clutch linkage. What a neat little car!
Nice show, nice people, nice food, it was a great day.:welcome:
