Event Coverage RHINEBECK, GREAT SHOW -ME NOT SO MUCH

When your right your right. Just don't tell my wife! Against her wishes I drove my roadster an hour and a half to Dutchess County Fairgrounds in Rhinebeck N.Y.
I have a bad case of Pink-Eye,(both eyes) although on meds (drops) I am still a mess. After being cooped up all Winter, no one was going to tell me what to do. So alone, I drive my little 32, with drops in hand, and off I go at 6:30 in the morning not yet 40 degrees.
Yes, I was cold and uncomfortable, with my side curtains at the upholstery shop for repairs. Hey, I have a top! Bottom line the show was fantastic. I struggled along, carful not to shake hands with old friends I came upon. It was a great Swap Meet and Car Show.
Friends were going to have lunch around 12:30, but I knew when I had enough. So I drive home, not being able to see that well.
I'm on new stronger drops, as of this morning . I am missing the CSRA swap meet today, but I know when I'm beat. Oh, and then there's the wife!
Here are some photos of just a fraction of the cars there. Enjoy!

More!

 

Did I tell you I'm miserable?
Don't see many of these!
Or these!

 

Did I say I’m missing CSRA swap meet?

Not sure what red this was, but it was the nicest RED I have ever seen.


I am glad Connecticut Street Rods, CSRA got great weather today. Hope their show was a success! Even though I was not there. I'm going back to laying down. The wife said so!

 

Damned the pinkeye. But you had good enough vision to get some nice pics.

Thanks!

 

Great pics - glad that I was not on road near you

 

Great photos! Hope you feel better soon. I'm out in the fresh air sanding my Victora door I found there.

 

Mark, thanks for the photos.
I hope you are better soon!

GREAT BUNCH OF PICS.
THANKS FOR SHARING

 

Super cool photographs, of a great bunch of magnificent machines!
Thanks from Dennis, hope your health situation gets better soon!

 

I was there yesterday. Beautiful weather and a good turnout. I took my almost sixteen year old nephew along for his first look at a car show/swap meet.

 

Wow!

 

Mark, the roadster looks great with the 25 louver hood and you got some nice photos but you really should have listened to Barb, I remember us talking about the cataract surgery that didn't prove satisfactory, take care of those eyes my friend. HRP

 

Hamb tag topper on the front plate! Who's 40?

 

Great pics …. I especially like the interesting non ford cars you nor easterners have …. Thank you

 

I tell my students not to sit on top of desks cause another student might catch pink eye

 

We made it to Rhinebeck about 15 years ago in our '32 roadster. Where have the years gone?

 

Thanks for taking the great pics that you did & sharing them with us!

 

Be well .
Ya done good, sick or not sick ( perhaps you might have asked Mrs. to drive )

 

Thanks for the pictures Mark. Take care of them eye balls.

 

Pink eye = no fun. I had it coming back from an out of state wedding a few years ago. Used collodial silver drops to get me home and saw the doctor the next day. I was at Rhinebeck some years ago, they had a 2-day model car contest in one of the out-buildings.

 

Great cars, Great pictures! Hope you get well, soon.

 

ct1932ford, thanks for the photo's you got some great shots. I've been going to the swap meet and show for over 30 years, been involved in the clubs that put it on also, but this was the first time that I was able to walk around and see the show. I saw your car in the mourning around 10:30 parked next to that 53 Buick chassis swapped car (a good example of what not to do). I happen to know the guy. It was a record setting day for the show on both Saturday and Sunday.

Sorry I missed the show - right in my back yard! Thanks for the great pics.
