Event Coverage WHAT TO DO? I KNOW, CAR SHOW

Wednesday in Portland means car show at PIR. I tried not to duplicate pictures of cars from earlier weeks. That said, don't shoot the messenger.
This Edsel was amazing

Inside and out

But what it wasn't was factory. They didn't make a retractable hardtop Edsel. But they should have.

 

Wow, 1 of none!
KK

 

This next series was after my feet got tired, grabbed a chair and let the cars come to me.

No bumpers, no windscreen, no headlights, no grille shell...priceless

Stance, wheel covers, colors, beautiful

There were more but you it is hard not to take pictures of the huge wheels that seem to be the rage in the area, when you are seated.

 

Time for a walk about.
How would you like to paint this?

That is a couple gallons of red fingernail polish

Great number plates on this one

I am partial to the 40/41 PUs that Ford built

This one looked like a nice, honest truck

Yellow and green, what would you expect from the land of the Ducks?

56, has to be one of top 3 years for tri five chevys.

 

More from the walk about

I couln't get a pic from the rear as they were camped too close.

Blackbird.

They say ravens hold the souls of the dead

Can't say but this baby bird was an old soul.

One for the moredoor guys. 4 buddies drove out in this looking like they had a great time.

 

Great pictures ! THANKS FOR SHARING!!!!

 

Back to my chair and a cold Cider, wonderful on a warm summer evening.

Nice thing about our parking spot last night was sitting next to the cool down road for the 1/8th mile drags happening on the raceway.

This one shook the ground

Great clouds on his one

Ginger thing happening here.

 

After the cider was gone I had to walk to get another from the concessions, which means more walk about pics.
34 five window

Nice black paint

With a flatty

Black was the color of choice last night

He was a large, beastly, bulging man

Remember that line form Christmas Vacation?

This one was for sale

Support your local drum shop

Non fingerprint black

HD Edition Ford

 

The concession stand was quite a ways away.
City of Roses, Portland, Or. Named that nearly 100 years prior to Pasadena and it's famous Rose parade and Rose Bowl.

Not a hot rod but a hot rods grand parent

I didn't have time to get the front of the PU, but I got an ass shot

And since I was parked next to Kim...

And the only evidence of what I drove, the louvered hood on the PU in the background.

Better to have a bubble top than a bubble butt

Great paint, but the bags and wheels had to be creatively edited.

There you have it, another Wednesday evening at PIR. Thanks for riding along.

 

I guess the tail fin sort of gave it away. I scrutinized that Edsel, it was well fabricated. An over the top style car, with an over the top feature.

 

i can't swim clark

Was echos of a Country Squire conversation Rattling around in your head while you were walking around the Edsel?

 

I love the clear plastic seat covers!!

 

Cool stuff! Thanks for sharing.

 

Great pics and as always, great comments for each pic.

 

He was wearing...a blue leisure suit. The tags were from Kansas.

 

Oh it was! Love the factory phantom menaces

Uncle Eddie dressed on the right

 

The Edsel pic made me laugh. Back in the day, when Ford was selling retractables, it wasn't unusual to see one parked at the side of the road with the top stuck in exactly that position.

 

Hey @Bandit Billy
I will be down at the Estranged drags/car show, and swap-meet this Saturday, at the TMP in Toutle Washington, hope to see you and other HAMBER'S there, Marty Strode will be attending on Saturday as well.

Thanks from Dennis for the great pictures.
Look for this old worn out straw hat wandering around with that big heavy Nikon D-600 dangling around my neck.

 

Second Pic is a REAL hot rod.

Ben

 

As always, thanks for the pictures and comments Billy. Next time fill your cooler with beverages so you don't have to truck it so far. My Coleman that just fits in my coupe has been though many many car show wars and still is battling.

 

What no skittle's. I was at the tri5 nationals last weekend and got skittle's overload.

 

Thank You Billy

 

Mrs BB won't let me strap a cooler in the bed until I make a rubber mat for it to sit on. I have created a monster.

All the colors of the rainbow. Nothing wears the colors better than tri 5's

 

Cool cars! You know, I got asked once, why are you spending all that money on that car and not on a house? I said, how can I drive a house to a car show?

 

If you lived in a van down by the river you could drive it to a car show. Might lose your parking spot when you get back though.

 

Neat stuff!!

 

Thanks for the pictures another great day out.

 

Nice pics BB! Thanks!
