Event Coverage Pictures from York

Here are a few pictures from York. Great weather there yesterday.

 

Making this a 3 year streak, my car once again had mechanical problems at York. It doesn't seem to happen anywhere else. It's a good place to have a problem since there are tons of people there who can fix cars way better than I can. A p***enger side front wheel bearing gave up on the way there. We limped it over to the Fair Grounds and were first in at MHRA's rod repair area. I can't say enough good about those guys. They had it stripped down to the spindle quickly and saw I needed new bearings and a rotor. The car has an ECI disc brake kit and ECI was a 2 minute walk away in the Toyota Building. They had replacement parts in stock, so I was having good luck. The spindle washer got really chewed up and was able to source a different washer and castle nut off of a couple guys in the flea market selling old early Ford front ends, and they gave me the stuff free. MHRA had the car back together by 12:30.

A huge thanks to Al, Steve and the guy with the Harley Davidson tat (sorry I didn't get your name) at MHRA who got me back on the road!

Here's what it looked like about 11 o'clock:



Almost done:




Back to normal before 1 pm:

 

My goodness, what a bunch of rare beautiful autos. I am stunned by the chevy woody, the Airflow, and the 53/54 remade psuedo Nomad wagon. Two Merc phaetons side by side is awesome. Thanx for the trip to York. ~sololobo~

 

Great pix, esp. the White cab-over!

 

Thanks for the great pics! Glad you made it there, would've ****ed to be broke down on the Jersey turnpike!!!

 

Great shots. A bunch of interesting cars. Love the White also. Just something so cool about seeing that.

 

Nice pics. On my way to Carlisle on RT 15 yesterday morning and on my way back home, I saw a few cars that were obviously not going the the Ford show in Carlisle ( few street rods, a pretty 62 Impala wagon, and a 50 Chevy hardtop). York is close by, so I guess they were heading there instead.

 

Is that blue sky I see?

 

Great pics, did Robert Mitchum get out of that '57 Galaxie? (Fairlane?)

 

you would haha

 

The red 57 Nomad on the trailer belongs to a friend of mine........really nice starting point for someone
What,s his Price ?

 

Wow, two 40 Merc convertible sedans in one place, and sunshine. I don't know which I am more jealous about!

 

Nice pics, Carl.......thanks for posting.......and I am very glad to know that you got the help you needed to make it a successful trip!!

What a beautiful bunch of Premo cars...
And great pictures too !
Cheers.....

 

actually.. there were 3 of these Mercs at the show!!



trying to be "artistic" with a cell phone camera..

 

Thanks for the coverage. I'm going to make this show next year!

 

I had only planned to go for the day on Friday, but drove back in a late model on Saturday as a spectator. Here are some shots.

 

This little '39 & '40 group alone was worth the trip.

 

More...

 

What? No shots of the tubbed up, Lambo-doored 70's Nova?? I saw Lyle's photos and CRACKED UP! Hope the Gold Chainers like their Karma.....

Thanks for your shots. There ARE some sweet rides there.

 

wow thanks for the coverage ! i never been to this show yet and it looks like its worth the trip some real amazing cars thank you

 

Skate Fink, you mean this one?

 

I have not been to York in many a year but it sure looks like there are a lot of empty parking spaces compared to the old days with all the cars double parked in the lanes.

 

Any more shots of that black and orange 33?

 

You should have seen the swap meet area on saturday it was a like a ghost town and the vendor buildings were just as bad. From what I was told the car count was down too.....

 

The sign on the red Nomad started at $15k, was reduced to $12.5, reduced again to $10k. Pics don't show the Chevelle frame.

 

Thanks for sharing the pics!
Any idea what the car count was.

Used to be around 5,000 when it was 48 and older. But I know the economy is straining everything right now.

 

this was one of the best shows i have been to. the weather helped tremendously but there were quite alot of well done cars

 

this year was my first time in the so-what camp,there were a lot of real cool cars in the show ,but it sure is not the nats east that i remember,swap meet very small,with the added year cars still a low car count & most of all watching all the cars roll out @ 6 o clock ,man what happen to the fairground cruzin', i know the inside camping will never come back ,i sure would like to see the fairground a little more than a ghost town at night ,just maybe we could get together next year for a little monkey see monkey do !!! get a group of cars & start making laps !!! i know i'm up for it !!
