Event Coverage VANCOUVER ROADSTER SHOW

Not that Johnny come lately town up north in BC, this is in the original Vancouver in sunny SW Washington and it all happens this weekend! Set up is Friday and the show is Saturday and Sunday if you are in town make plans to come by and say howdy. I will do my best to update this page with HAMB appropriate photos so stay tuned and give me a shout out if your attending. There should be plenty of parking since half the town is up hunting. If you don't have elk tags you might as well come to the show, see ya there.

 

Looks like fun, here is some info on it. 172 mile road trip from here.

 

Looks like a good time. I’ll be in the area on Sunday, I may drop by and partake in the festivities for a while. We shall see.

 

Hmmm, I just may drive the Edsel Stranger there!

 

Add one Model A for Saturday.

I heard through the grapevine that the musical entertainment is the Kingsmen. Not as cool as Zeppelin but beats a beach boy tribute band. That ought to bring out the old hotties in their poodle skirts. Don't need no rifle to go huntin this weekend. Slip on yer sexiest car shirt, slap on some Old English, put a dab of Brycreem in yer hair and leave yer glasses at home

 

Sounds like the parking lot might have a good car show! I may go over Sat. also.

 

I wonder if they will play.........ya think!

 

Reminds me of Lil Louie of Portland Roadster Show fame and named after that song or so I heard. Bob Schoonhoven is in town, maybe he will grace us with his presence Saturday.

 

My New Zealand built roadster made the poster?

 

Greg, I made note of that.
So dig your roadster!

 

Move in day was yesterday, I got a nice spot next to the stage. I normally set up a 20x20 but the display I built will do a 10x20 easily enough. One must be able to adapt. I hope no one tries crowd surfing off that end of the podium.

No, it isnt just two cars. I was there early so I could bring my truck and trailer in for set up.



Ok, enough of mine, let's hit the camera phone and see a few others that you may recognize and some you may not. Back in a few.

 

@Bandit Billy sorry I missed you today. The car is looking great!

 

It wouldn’t be a PNW show without one of my favorites. Nice meeting you and your dad BTW.

@Kim Strobeck brought his 31 down

This is a historic hot rod built in the 50s and owned by my friend Mark “Brizz”

This fella brought both his toys. One for dry days, one for the other 75% of the time


I’ll be headed back down that way in a bit. I haven’t been there during shoe hours and looking forward to Saturday evening.

More pics coming.

 

So, how many cars Did Ron Wade bring?

 

Not as many as when he was still alive.

 

Great pics of some beautiful cars.
Your roadster is gorgeous.

 

Thanks man, I appreciate that. Maybe my truck will be ready for a show next year. I’ll enter it towing the dune buggy. Better off was towing a wood ski boat

 

I had not heard that.
Saw a photo of a couple that looked like his.

 

Thanks for the pictures.

 

Yeah, we lost him back in July of this year.

 

Photo dump.

 

More,

 

I missed the turn and went to the other Vancouver. The money looked funny, but the people were nice.

There were a lot of non H.A.M.B. friendly rides, some “oh hell no” rides and a couple @Moriarity ”come on man!” cars.

For a first attempt at an indoor car show it was not bad. Patrick, the promoter, worked hard to make it worth the price of admission. He did so in my opinion.

 

Easy mistake to make. They carry on openly and we just open carry

 

Thanks for the photos, guys!

 

@Moriarity did you check out the gauge pods?
