We have been cooped up here for several days. other than a short trip to Lakewood yesterday we have not been out much but hey it snowed over a foot and was cold for a few days… Strange how last week (Wednesday through Friday) it could be cold, snowing like crazy and blowing and then by Sunday it was warm and we attend a car show not 70 miles away in t-shirts… Gotta love how it works up here.
So as we start out trip south it looks like this… still big snow on the Peak…. and only clouds around the peak so far… We drove on down to Florence for their 2017 annual car show… I think they have done this for 17 years or so? shut off 3 or 4 blocks of main street and pack them in.
In gold no less… although not real good but could be a goldfinger car?
Just a 1972 pickup in good condition for it’s age then if you read the sign… WOW!
It ain’t no show truck but then again, shows really good…
Have you ever been to a car show and seen two really nice True Chevy Nomads and both the same year?
Lots of vintage cars and many in RED…?
Neat to mirror the under side of the hood like that…
Took a small newer Chevy pickup and put the old cab on it… but did good in the fit..
Shelby, GT500… supposed to be a true Shelby… and I think it was a 1969…
Now this was 1951 Ford and in Orange with some flames… nice truck fix up..
ok… Psychobilly Cadillac….
Made from an old Lafayette car and then put in a Cummins Diesel engine?
Another 1951 vintage rework…
Also a couple of Jesters at this show…
And the Jailer…
and it still has the old straight six in it…
Hummm 1971 model… didn’t they have one of these in a James Bond movie…
Yea his was another 1971 (the bug was) and it truly does pull that trailer and he can turn the bug 360… if you disconnect the trailer wire on top… I had seen this before going around town and in a parade?
There were 2 1957 birds… a red and this white… this one is for sale and they have a note: appraised for $34,900 but will listen to reasonable offers…If I only had something reasonable to offer… ha!
Ok, for my Halliburton Friends… this guy must have been related to Earl P…?
Now remember last 3 days ago it looked like this at my house…
So that was the day , week, or other wise for us… oh and here is these pictures and a few more of the “walk down main” in Florence
