Just another car thing..

With no real plans and a suggestion of taking in the Castle Rock Cruizin… we finally decided to go… It is about 2 hours from here to Castle Rock so we had to get it going after the decision.  We hit the springs at about 11:30 and picked up GS#3 and then on “up” the road to see what we could see.  It was a bit hot but not horrible (it would have been unbearable in Oklahoma)… There were plenty of cars to ogle and check out… I got a lot of pictures but mostly concentrated on Orange cars for the majority of pictures.

This was a really polished and well done truck… not real orange but Coppertone is pretty close… I think they call it Toxic Orange now?

yes I know it is not orange, although the intake covers are….. Haulin’ Gass? strange truck.

This one just couldn’t keep up with all the action… yes a red flyer but the umbrella appeared orange?  and so did his poor face…

I think this was a 49?  I had a 51 but mine was ugly faded blue with yellow and black grille… this one is bright orange and really nice.

Yes not orange… but was a 1931 owned by same family since new and he had the paperwork it cost them $624 new… It had been hidden in the family barn in Piedmont OK for 40 years…

I saw several old Willys in the show… this was the biggest blower and go fast I saw…

Yep it looks read but it was a very very orange color and restored all original with about 40K miles on it!!!! it is for sale but now way I could even think about it… did look at the appraisal sheets and it was about $62K to $72K appraised… whew..

Must be the season for 3100’s but5 this one has an addition you don’t find often and it was a old six engine in it with a 4 speed… but the thingy on the window… Grandpa had one on his Hudson…

I know the light was wrong but it too was orange.

IMG_7783

Not orange but gee think they have enough stickers?

IMG_7784

At the end of the trail… just too wiped out to go on… actually we left the car show and went to the outlet mall and I think this lady had done more shopping than she had planned on?

It was a long hard day… we got back to the RV about 6pm and just pretty much crashed out… and yes it is pretty hot up here too but nothing like back home… thank God.
