Just figured I'd post a few photos from one of the car shows I went to a while back, maybe it will give a little inspiration for a few custom, etc.


This one was pretty neat, as the chrome around the tail lights was actually painted on.


Not everything was in pristine condition

And a few strange things running around:



I posted another 500 or so photos Lead-East 2007 Hope you enjoy them.

OOOOOOOOOHhhh. pics 6,7,and 8 on that 1st page...I've loved those since before the movie came out! Should be a dualquad 392 hemi under the hood.....

-pic 106...is that a 38 chevy humpback?

-pic 162 is nice...always liked phonebooths!

-ok, I'm confused...pic 256 shows what looks like a generator{I remember mine from my '62 galaxie}, but pic 253 shows a modern mopar alternator...any ideas why he'd run both?...or am I looking/remembering wrong?

-pic 324...Indian nuts...what year is this GP ragtop?...I wanna say 67...

-pic 467...what is it?! Looks like a bugatti grill....glass kit?, real car?, some who had an english roller and ALOT of time?!........neat lookin!!!!!

-pic 504...late model edsal...right?

Thanks for the pics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Windshield sticker says it is a bugatti, but what year or model I have no idea, and the owner was no where around to ask.

I have no idea why the one guy has an alternator and a generator running on the same engine.

Looks like she might be glass since it's got the tube framework behind the seat with that pop rivet....if that's all steel, then that's some serious coin sitting there! I hate to try and change a tire on that puppy! Interesting that there's a blue tow strap under the rad...just a roller for the moment?
Yeah, seeing both a gen and an alt would raise a question by me for sure, but since the generator is high up it may be a nostalgia thing....I don't know......
Thanks again for the great pics...made me wish I went to saturdays cruisenight, but when I sold the '70 cougar I had years ago and hadn't picked up anything since, I rarely go now. I spose I should to see what shows up...ya never know!

Great shots Dave.

I doubt the "Bugatti" is a real Bugatti, but pretty cool though.

Thanks for sharing Dave.
