Portland Roadster Show 2015

Rats and other cool stuff that relates to our RRR community.

Some other interesting offerings. Taking pictures at indoor shows like this is really difficult. Too much stuff in the way.

We chatted with the builder of the Packard for a couple minutes.
I asked if it was a custom.
He said, No. It was one of 600.
I said, They made 600 two door woodies? Cool.
He said, No, It was a four door, and I made it into a two door.
I said, Oh. Nice car. I really like it. And took another picture.

What's the deal on the radial aircraft engine in the Chevy pickup? I looked at it last night, finally figured it out this morning. How was it hooked up?[S

Made me think about Bill Cosby talking about Fat Albert's car with the airplane engine!

Sorry, I have no idea. There is a thread on here somewhere that has a bunch of pictures of aircraft engines in wheeled vehicles, I think.

The trouble with shows like this is that everything is chained off, and you really can't see much. I almost didn't bother taking my camera. Glad I did, even with the limited access.

I didn't get it either. If I had taken the time to read all the little stories scattered around the display, maybe I would have found out. I think maybe the car was a tribute restoration. There were several at the show. Kind of cool, and kind of sad. Life goes on...
