Last Of The Show Pics

Ok, this is the final installment of pics from this show. Check em out and I hope you enjoy them...

Good shot of this Vette's interior

Love these taillights.

Classic wheels are always better than modern billet stuff.

Another sweet Vette, but I was nearing overload by this point.

Sunbeam Tiger. A classic British sports car with an American secret lurking under the hood. The best thing is that it came that way.

I've always liked how the Brits put real wood dashes in their cars.

A small block Ford secret lurks to catch the unsuspecting.

Love the lines on the front of this one.

The Tiger badge that lets you know not to screw around with this one.

My friend Anil had this Cadillac Fleetwood on display. It's basically a factory limo.

Classic Caddy lights.

An iconic symbol.

That's a big damn grill!!!

Not many bone stock 442 motors left like this these days.

8-track Player with "America" ready to play.

Another classic badge.

Cutlass lights.

I love this color blue.

Every guys dream.

Early 70's Vette in my favorite color.

Yep, that's a monster under that hood.

I think this is the next to last year for this rear before they went to the plastic rounded rears.

1975 last year for a factory convertible until the mid to late 2000's.

I was in love with this car for years.

I love this view!



OK, enough of this for now. I'm going to see Jackyl tonight at Workplay. I'm sure I'll take a bunch of pics so you'll probably see some of them here. Maybe this weekend I can do something bike related ;-)

More Great Cars From The Car Show

Here is the 2nd installment of the cars I really liked from the car show. Check em out....

64 Chevy C10 truck rebuilt by Goolsby Customs.

I'm not so sure about the whole tall wheel movement, but these work fairly well. Better than most I've seen.

Nice stance

Big Block Motor of course!

Thankfully they didn't mess with what works, the grill is pretty much stock with some nice massaging in the right places to make it perfect.

69 Camaro SS/RS Convertible. That means it's a hot rod with hideaway headlights and some cool accents.

I like how the modernized it with slightly bigger wheels but still stuck with the classic Cragar SS design.

I wish cars still had cool badges like this.

I've always loved the hideaway headlights on this model.

Another great interior, the shifters always struck me as really cool on these.

Nice clean little Tempest.

60's Morgan

1959 Chevy, lots of curves on this one.

Classic dashes just look sexy!

I'd love to have this one.


That's it for today, I should have one more post from this show.

Car Show At Barber's Motorsports Park

Last Saturday I was jonesing to get out. I've grounded myself from riding the bike until the pollen settles down and have been limiting a lot of my outdoor fun because of my allergies. Finally I had had enough and decided I had to get out at least for a little while, besides I had just finished priming the body and painting the roof of the new truck a few days before and needed to get it out in the public eye for a bit. So after doing a little searching around I found out about this show put on my the local Corvette club. It was held at Barber's where the Vintage festival is every year. It was a pretty small show, but there were some really nice cars there. I'm not gonna post pics of all of them, just my favorites and as usual it'll take a few posts to do it......

As with most shows some of the best ones are in the parking lot. The '55 Chevy Gasser is one of those. It really should have been in the show but since it wasn't at least it was parked where I could get a few decent pics.

I love these old Gassers and wish there were more around to see out on the strip where they belong.

Good ol' drop front axle.

Love the stance.

Even the wheels were classic.

Mostly stock interior as it should be. It even had an 8-track player.

Once inside the show there were some beautiful cars including this 63-64 Vette convertible.

Gotta take pics of the engine!

365 HP!

These old Vette interiors are really cool even if the radio is mounted sideways.

The next one was a '57 Chevy. Sometimes it seems like these are a dime a dozen but this one was so beautiful it had to be shared.

Red Hot!

Just needed classic wheels to be perfect.

Love that grill badge.

Car dashes used to be some of the best looking parts.

I just love this view!


That's it for today, I will have more soon. Hopefully the pollen will settle down and I can get out and do something to post here and share!
