The car show is back!!! (pic heavy)

[Archae]

Across the street from me is a restaurant called "Randalls," and on Mondays they have old (and older) car fanciers come in and park their wheels.

(BIG SIGH)

[Suich]

1. "(BIG SIGH)" is right, Archae!

Makes me think of who drove what kind of car in high school!

[Archae]

4. I could tell who had a muscle car back when I was in high school...

(Mid 1970's)

They were always begging for gas money.

3. Saw a 1-car "car show" on Sunday ...

W ... O ... W ... !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5. I had a Barracuda, loved that car.

6. That Riviera is sharp.

7. I just saw a '60 Austin Healy, the man built it from rust into perfection!

[LeftinOH]

8. I don't get people who enter new (ish) Corvettes or Camaros

in a car show; it's like cheating. On the other hand, a 50 year old Corvair pickup truck takes genuine effort to maintain, and it's pretty rare now. And.. I'm drooling over the Barracuda.

9. True Blue Love

02 highly modified Saleen w/647 RWHP. Yee Haw!! 10,700 mi. I'm 66 and just know I will be getting my first ticket in 43 yrs.

10. I like those informal cruise-in type shows

Nice to see a mix of decades and the various intermingling of the different kind of "car people". I hate those shows that are organized and run by the same people and we have to endure the blasting 1950s doo-wop music from a sound system.

11. Oh, I'll take the '57 Chevy any day!

12. Informal Car Shows Are The Best

It gives everyone a chance to strut their stuff. Far too many are almost like slick commercials for a certain style,type or breed and only allow certain makes,years etc. While I drool over anything "50" decade I also like to see those even older. It makes us feel like we have a chance to live as old as a car. HA! But it gives new car fanciers,those wanting to build their own a chance. Turning a old relic from the junkyard or neighbors garage is a costly and time consuming hobby. They need shows such as this to allow them to showcase their new talents and learn from the masters.

[Archae]

13. I agree.

And at times hobbyists bring in cars usually not seen at the pro car shows.

There's a guy who shows up at "our" car show every so often, he restored a Ford Maverick.

I talked to him last year, he said "Yeah, I get laughed at, but it's fun keeping a car that was originally made junk, running."

14. Car #2

'58 Chevy?

[xtraxritical]

16. Not near as cool as a '59 but still a keeper!

[Throd]

15. Why would anybody put an after-market air cleaner on a W-30 442?
