Some car show pictures

[Young Ed]

Cleaning off my camera memory card last night-here's some car show pictures from random shows so far this summer. Most are from N St Paul friday night cruise.

Interesting grill treatment on a p15

54 Ford I was telling the wife how when I was in high school Dad had a 54 Ford 2dr sedan this same color. We walked a couple more blocks and found Dads actual old 54 Ford for sale.

A falcon for Joe. FYI it was quite nice except for the seats being ratty and $3600.

Wagons and more wagons

sort of a wagon

And some other random stuff

What were they asking for the valiant??? Don't see many stripper two doors, and it looks to be in good shape.

It didn't say and I never saw the owner

Ed,

Thanks for the pics! Sometimes I think it's too bad I can still remember when most of them were new but then I can reflect on the changes made since then, some of which were positive. Looking at beautiful old cars will always be a pleasure.

A purple P15......you don't see many that color.

Thanx for the pics.

I once had a black 54 Ford convert with an I block six and automatic.

Looked good, just not real fast on takeoff.

Some guys I talked to claimed Ford never put a six in a 54 convertible.....but it all

seemed factory to me.

Bob look a little closer at that p15 grill. Dads 54 ford sedan was a Yblock 3spd with low mileage. The next owner yanked the engine and put a bigger Y block in. What a shame.

It is a little taller than the average bear.

I thought it didnt look right. It has an extra short bar in it that doesnt belong. I was wondering how they got the front so low and had only a short rolled pan on it when I first looked at the picture. Kinda cool

great pics, thanks.

Great pics! I dont know about a purple P-15 with a deleted bumper, though. It's not doing much for me. That Chevy Kingswood wagon is really nice looking!

I had an "expert" tell me that he had never heard of a 6 in a '56 Dodge either. I seriously doubt that no one ever ordered an I-6 w/ auto in a '54 Ford convertible. School teachers immediately come to mind.

People do crazy stuff for odd reasons. Dad knew a guy with a big v8 4spd in a ford wagon because his wife insisted on a wagon but didnt care about the rest.

I had an all original 63 Impala SS 327 and powerglide with floor shift (I was the 3rd owner the 1st only owned it for 2 years). I talked to a guy that judges cars for points on originality. So I tell him the color for the car is Anniversary Gold. He refused to believe that the car came from the factory with that color because that was a 62 color. So I drove the car over to his house and he looked up the color by the factory tag on the car. He was shocked to find that Anniversary Gold was the color it came from the factory with. As the years go by people forget that you could order a car with things you wanted way back when....
