Car Show Today

[55 Fargo]

That was the sign along Hwy #9, at Petersfield a car show hosted by the Lily Pad Cruisers Car Club.

I took the truck, it was hot and dusty today, not too many seemed to like my old beater, too rough I guess.

Here are some pics, a nice 48 D25 Seedan, 1950 Plym Biz Coupe, done right up, absolutley beautiful paint job on her, has a 350 automatic,Owner probaly can't drive standard, he has a very bad leg, walks with a cane. Heas onwed the car since1974, while in Hgh School, he pulled the 218 to install a 283 SBC, 1st mistake....LOL

A great looking 1973 Javelin, owner had to buy a body for it from the US somehwere, his was far too rusty....

Other cars, and trucks, a real small country show, very hot and dusty today...

A few more cars and trucks.

Just a few more, there were about 60-75 cars at this small show, the 50 Pontiac is 1 of my favorites, this car has been at the show the past few years.

Always love looking at old cars and trucks. If I was a millionaire I would do nothing but buy them all.

Took the ole girl to town late this afternoon.

Ambient temp, dropped to around 80, very hazy and smoky, looks like the Valley Of Smog in LA.

There are major forest fires, apparently in Alberta, the smoke has blown about a 1000 miles to my area.

Some pics, car runs and rives great, engine temp, steady at 160, oil pressure 50 psi on hwy, 30-35 psi at an idle.

This engine is a long 218, a bit tired, how much more pep would I notice with a slightly modified rebuilt 251?????

Thanks for the pics, Fred. Always nice to see cars from another place.

Funny thing......they have a certain resemblance to cars from right

around here.

Our grandson, age 17, went with me tonite to a monthly cruise-in

at Webb City, MO. There were two (either 40 or 41) Plymouths - one

a coupe with a V6 engine, the other a fourdoor with a V8. Hadn't seen

either one before. The coupe owner, an older fellow such as myself, maybe

just a bit older, even........said he has owned the car a few years, but this

was the first time he's showed it.

Grandson liked the souped up Mustangs, a Toyota Supra and the one

lonely tuner car. He just moved up here from Florida a few months

ago, so we get to see a lot more of him now. He likes driving grandma's

2006 Infiniti G35 fourdoor..........in fact we went out last nite and

cruised Main St a few passes. (Grandpa has to go along since he

only has his permit and a licensed adult driver is required.)

Glad to hear all is well Bob, and that your able to go with the Grandson on drives.

Also glad all is well after the big "Twister", hope your summer weather has been more civil.

It is a lot cooler here today with a high of about 79, been 90s with humidex over the 100 mark, I am sure you know what this is like. The funny thing though, very few t/storms or rain this summer, and no twisters so far....

Just came back from a 30 mile cruise with teh Coupe, man this old beast runs and drives well, sems better than ever ,"touch wood", the truck I have is so rough to drive compared to my ole Chrysler....

Thanx Bob, all is well in your world, hope the ole 40 is getting out some.

Was thinking of you folks last night, Son was playing Xbox Live with another Kid from New York State, but He did not know where Neversink is. The computer sure has shrunk the globe, Mercy Sakes.......

Fred, thanks for asking, I am doing fine, and yes, Cooper and I have been out in the Plymouth alot the past three days.

The next time your son is playing xbox with the kid from NY, have him ask what part of NY, I might know.
