I went to a car show...

[Dr Crankenstein]

...and all I got was these lousy pictures. Unfortunately, this event has outgrown it's space. Cars were jammed in like a Walmart parking lot and people filled the spaces in between.

Needless to say, I didn't get many pics. I had to wait until the show was over and scrambled to shoot a few before they left the scene.


In the "real" parking lot...

Crowd thinning...

'72? Javelin SST

Mmmm fat...

Belongs to a guy I've known for many years. (He's a parts store manager. One of the few where you actually get what you ask for ).

Canadian Merc. '59 Monarch Richelieu ( Richelieu: French for 2 tons of glass and steel). Sorry, bad pics...

'29 Whippet from a four door sedan...

I dig the javelin [dr

 

[Dr Crankenstein]

I'd need center steer and a single seat...

My personal favorite...

Twin Paxtons...

Needs bigger tires, right Mav?

 

[choppintops]

Love that Whippet truck.

 

[Gastrick]

Thanks Dr C. That Canadian Mercury looks angry.

That van drew a crowd, I bet. Very cool. I like the Javelin too.

Definitely dig the SST... Nice group of cars there!

After reading the title I was expecting to read ". . . . and a hockey game broke out!"

Those tires you put in are just about perfect

I'm loving this one - a lot.

But, the rear tires are too skinny.

I was tempted to "Billy Smith" a few hundred people so I could take some freakin' pictures.

Sorry for the poor coverage, fellas. This thread should have a ton of images but the crowd and tight space ruined the whole plan. Next year, I'll go BEFORE the gates open to the public and I'll take my big stick for good measure.

Thanks for the pics Doc. Being a Canuck I also have a soft spot for the oddball Canadian only models from the 50's and 60's.
