Paradise Road.....last house
Been working on the house this weekend but I did stop by this small local show today during one of my trips to the builders supply. Just a small show in conjunction with a local festival. Here's a few pics

I spotted this one as soon as I got there, wonder why [S:eek:

This guy has had this '53 Rag Top since high school. I once photographed his daughters wedding where he drove her up sitting on the back 'parade style'

My friend Chris's GN and his Dad's survivor Camaro w/ no console 4 speed, no power windows, AM radio, no A/C....kinda bare for a '79

Small local show, it sounds like your family decided to have a car show, lol.

I'm a Ford guy through and through but i've always liked the Grand Nationals and that one looks awesome. I bet the thunder coming out of that Nova was impressive too.
 
Fins anyone ??

"Alcohol Enforcement" was there to keep everybody in line. This Model A belongs to a friend of a friend, it has stock running gear as does both of my friend's A's and they have driven them from the east coast to Yellowstone and back!

Few more coming.......
 
There's always a little bit of everything at this show, and although not a lot of the stuff is high dollar or show quality you see a lot of folks that are passionate about their cars out with family and friends enjoying them, and to me that's what it's really about....

Like this ragged old Bradley GT that I see on the street regularly....

Or this guy and his kid polishing up a run of the mill late Camaro...

A bone stock 22,000 mile Gran Marquis that my father in-law once owned

This guys kids were using his Dodge as a jungle-gym

and my neighbor and friend Jerry drives this chopped '37 daily during the summer months

Clean little Ford PU

F-1Large.jpg


And I get a kick out of this kid. He is a die-hard "Ricer" but he recently got this Torino which is pretty clean and sounds real nice. Granted, his Turbo Charged WRX will run run rings around it but you can tell he's been bitten by the American V-8 bug when he goes roaring by in this thing :D

See this one often too...

Nice 4X4...always liked the Blazer/Suburban clips on these trucks

Not crazy about the wheels but this early Bronco was about as clean as they get...

And last but not least, my friend Don's mostly business '55 [ddd He just got this thing on the road late last summer and I haven't ridden in it yet but hope to soon! I'm sure it's not cheap to operate but he drives it a couple of times a week........smells funny and burns your eyes when it goes by [S:D
