Event Coverage SATURDAY, IN THE PARK....

Actually it wasn't a park as much as much as it was a bowling alley parking lot. But it was a car show and a pretty nice one at that.
Tasty 200S on a 55 Nomad

It won an award for bet wagon.

the tri 5's were well resprented

This 55 210 was packin

Wicked is a good word to describe it.

But this is how the owner describes it

 

This Olds won best prewar

That is real wood applied to the body

It was also packin

Big car but @anthony myrick would drive it I think

Another award winner and well deserved for best low rider

The car was amazing and tasteful.

Well deserving honor

 

How about some AD

Not sure whether is on its way blue or black but I don't think it matters

This was an amazing time capsule. Original paint, original interior and what is left of the original running board covers.

This shoe box had a SCoT blown flatty under the bonnet.

The long roofs were out in force

Kim and I made the trek from Battle Ground, nice day for a drive. I took Char's truck to add some miles to it.

We represented

And I brought home some bling for the wife.

 

Chevy in a chevy, weird


This delivery delivered

Very nice

This 57 was hard not to love

looking like it earned every mile and then some

no trailer queen here.

This little suburban was fantastic

Not sure if I have seen another one

Just cool

 

Like I said, long roofs were in fashion today

Another chevy in a chevy. Crazy.

Fake wood outside, real wood inside

This guy hollered at me at a stop light on the way to the show. He didn't know about it but followed us down there.

More tri 5 excellence

Yeah, it's got a chevy in it

This one was best in show

I cant show many pics as it doesn't fit here. But this does.

You like t-birds?

This won for best convertible. Again, no argument here.

Here is that beautiful 300 parked alongside the bird.

Great day to roll around top less.

The temps were in the mid 90's as the show wrapped up. The venue was excellent. Started at 10:00, Bar and grille at the alley opened at 11:00. Excellent burger and bloody Mary's. Show ended at 2:00. And the AC inside was a welcome treat. I drove home with the AC blaring in the PU. I have never had AC in a hot rod or classic car. Nice touch!

 

Thank you Billy, on a Sunday, for sharing your Saturday
The first two,, get me,, deep.

 

“Saturday, in the park, I think it was the 13th of July.”

Great cars! Thanks for the pics! Congratulations on the award!

 

Thankyou BB.
The Plymouth Suburban is a killer.

This show did something I have seen several times and do not understand. I am not intending being critical. Just don't understand.

A beautiful prewar [ or any class ] wins BEST IN SHOW. Another beautiful prewar [or?] wins BEST PREWAR.

If I just won either of those, I would wonder why another won the other one. Just doesn't compute, or am I missing something.?

By the way, what is the best in show. I could not be certain. Can you show it in the "other " thread?

Yeah, no argument from me. That 55 210 was business. Pure and simple. The Nomad had a a modern interior that distacted in my opinion with the rough and ready exterior. But to each their own.

Thanks you! It is Char's first hot rod and she loves winning some bling. I wish she coud have been there for the award ceremony but she had a work thing to do. Loan Officers are 24/7, if they are any good.

The best in show award was one that I would hate to deliver. How can you choose between all the great cars in attendance? The one they selected was a Lasalle with what appeared to be a headered, BBC wearing Cadillac script aftermarket rocker covers. No hood sides, big wheels, a bit street roddy for the HAMB, but obviously a nice car.

The best in show is a travelling trophy as I understand it. I do not know if the crowd selected it or a judge but I would imagine it was a crowd selection. I didn't take many pictures as it was nearly impossible to escape the wheels the pro street style engine. Still a nice car, I would have chosen the 55 210.

 

Thanks for the great pics. Love your commentary also ‼️

 

Thanks for taking the time to post those great photo's ---- some nice looking rides there .

 

Oh, I did post some off topic cars over on the other forum, same thread title.

 

Good stuff……. Thanks for sharing your photos.

 

COOL - THANKS - congrats on Bling

 

Thanks for the pictures.

 

I wondered which vehicle you had there until I saw the award. Nice! Thanks for posting!

 

Nice photos and commentary. Looks like a lot of cars with very nice paint work. Thank you for sharing!

 

Thanks for the pics. Your wife's truck just flat kicks ass!

 

Thank you for sharing your photos

 

Great job, Billy. Your photographic skills are getting to be where you're just about up there with Greenburg. I'm not a Chevrolover, but I would feel right at home in that faded '57.

 

Some very nice paint! I forget which car won best paint but that would have been a real hard call.

I appreciate that. She dropped by the cruise in to see how it was going and eat lunch in the alley. She was there long enough to talk to a few folks about her truck and answer questions. I like that. She may not have built it, but she paid attention

Amen! That was what I call an honest car. No fakery, no pretend patina, just a tough old bird wearing hot rod wheels. I'm glad the hood was down, I would have been sooooo depressed and disappointed if there was an LS under there.

 

Thank you

 

Nice pics! Thanks for sharing! Congrats on the trophy!

 

Glad you gents liked them and thank you. I am not a photog, but I do like reporting back with positive, upbeat coverage of our hobby. Our summer is short here, we take advantage of it and get the cars out of the garage.

I did have to laugh at one point while walking around Crosley Lanes parking lot, talking to fellow minded folks. I was reminded of that scene from Pleasantville where the men are all worried and having a town meeting of sorts.

 

That faded 57 is perfect! Imagine cruising across country in that beauty!

 

Thanks for your efforts, they are appreciated. I especially liked the descriptor tasteful. The world needs more tasteful.

 

Great pix and thanks for sharing and investing the time to post

 

Damnit! I live within a 15min walk of this place and missed this show. Looks like a good turnout! Thanks for the pictures.

 

Well done Billy. Thanks for the pictures.
