Went to a birthday & a car show broke out

[Gastrick]

A friend of mine had a barbecue at a local park on July the 4th as a celebration of his 75th birthday and invited all his car buddies, encouraging them to bring their rods. I fired up the coopay and headed out. It was a good time (until the skies opened up). Anyway, after a while, the parking lot started to look like a small car show so of course I snapped some photos to share.

Here's the birthday boy with his car.



and the rest........

Wow, a Willys pick-up that's not a gasser. Who knew?

 

[Gastrick]

You guys wouldn't believe how many miles this guy has on this car. Well over a hundred grand

Not really the type of car for this forum but the work on this car was VERY clean

Russ Racing Engines is also the place that did the machine work on the hemi that's in my coupe

I've always been fascinated by these Pontiac brakes/wheels


They were attached to this...

Ha, forgot the proof that my car is not just a piece of furniture. Actually took this at a stop on the way back. Forgot to take one at the party.


Okay, that's all. I'm done

So many nice cars, very nice rides there, but I do favor the chevy, mine will never look that good, and I dont want it too

While I love to look at cars like this & can appreciate all the hard work & effort put into them, I need to have a car that I can drive a lot and not worry about a ding or scratch or two. I couldn't handle the responsibility of owning a true all original classic. That would just stress me out to no end. I'm enamored with people that can handle that responsibility.
