Event Coverage "Full Speed Ahead" car show at the USS Salem (Quincy,MA)

What a day! When I woke up this morning it didnt look too good at all weather wise. Thunderstorms, lighting, and pouring rain was just about to keep the roadster in the garage but the forecast said differently! The cut-off caps came off and we headed out to the USS Salem in Quincy,MA. About one town north the sun came out and soon the temps were nearing 100 degs. and the humidity was about 75%...pheeewww it was a hot one!!

Pulling into the show to such a monstrosity of a backdrop was impressive! You can use this link to learn more about the ship!:

Well, Ill stop my play by play now so you can see some highlights of the show!
Thanks bospacker for putting on an incredible first show!

 

I got quite a few more!!

 

Moose made it!!

 

The Four River Bridge opened! This bridge created my fear of bridges when I was a small child!!

 

Thanks for the pics, some real nice rides showed up.

 

One of the Vag-bonds was there!

 

Thats it for now! Ive got a few left and hopefully a panoramic for later! So, until then shoot for the stars, fellas!!!!

 

Great pics Billy .Thank you.

 

Thanks for the pics glad you had a good time

 

Awesome pics Bill! Looks like a great turnout despite the thunderstorms and the heat. I can't believe you're wearing long pants!! Thanks for the pics! ~ Scott

 

Nice pics, looks like somebodies going deer hunting in that last pic.

 

The only guy envious of my legs is Frank Perdue!!
I'll keep 'em covered...

 

It looks like a great time...awesome pics, Bill...thanks!

 

You seem surprised! Of course I made it, even my 9-1/2 month pregnant wife made it. And everybody enjoyed. Great show, awesome place to have it. Thanks for putting it on, bospacker.

 

Suprised? sort of, but more glad you and mrs. and the kids were able to be there and not pacing at the maternity ward!

 

Pacing? Maternity ward? Nah, kids'll be at the grandparents, and I'll be at the bar around the corner.

Yeah, right. If I did that I might as well have drinks with a divorce lawyer...

 

Moose, That grill shell really looks good on the A. What trim rings are those on your 36 Plymouth wheels? Looks like a great turn out, now I feel bad missing it. Bob

 

Not the best panoramic splice but you get the idea!

 

really cool pics thanks.. good turnout for such a hot day..

 

Looks like it was a really cool event and a perfect venue. Some *****in cars...That red chevy sled is sweet and the Alter Boy's cars are, as usual, spot on. When did Mark Rogers start running front brakes on his sedan?
Thanks for posting the pictures.

 

isnt the red chevy tony from new yorks car???

 

Thanks, it's a 32 Chevy shell and insert. The trim rings? I don't know, Eli gave them to me. They are kinda nice, with ridges they look about right.

 

Nice shot of my '48 Plymouth "ruby" in that first picture... Thanks for the link moose!

 

this one?
This is 1927Deathtrap's (jeff) from Rhode Island, its actually orange, at least it was in the bright sun with shades on! He got it this past winter. im not sure where it originated from, im sure he'll chime in.

 

Yeah guys, I bought it from Tony this winter after my bucket was trashed. The car has been a blast and Tony did one hell of a job. Since I got it I added the new front end, 4 link and air ride. Interior should be done this winter. I'm very proud to own it and Tony has become a good friend.

 

That looks like one Hell of a nice ride. I'm totally jealous. Sweet ride.

 

yep tony is a good ****, and his work is absolutely top notch! i watched all along as that car was getting biult.. it is really sweet.. good luck with it, maybe ill get a chance to see it now that its in r.i.

 

not to hijack, but can you post up a few more pics?

 

Thanks for the pics...
