Vintage cars from a car show this summer

[rickr]

I go to several vintage car shows during the Summer with my friend Tim. He has a 1961 Olds Cutlass and I have a 1961 Olds Super 88. We parked those two cars next to each other at the Muddy River Run car show at the fair ground in Indiana. It is an informal vintage car show,and all proceeds go to charity.
Here are a few photos from that show.

Tim with my Olds. He did the body and paintwork to this car a few years ago, and did a great job! He also paints my vintage appliances. What a good friend to have! Our tent is in the background. It was a good thing to have that day,as it rained twice.

And Tims Cutlass,which he painted years ago and still has not found the replacement belt moulding for.

Look out!! It will BITE!! Front view of the 59 Buick

My Aunt had one of these when I was a kid. Us kids were afraid to get the bikes out of the garage when it was in there!

I called it the "Mean Machine"

1957 Oldsmobile.
This was a "fifty footer" The closer you got the worse it looked! Sanding marks all over the place (with black paint yet??) and it was so wavy I almost got sea sick looking at it. Still was great to see the "other" 57's.

Speaking of 57's. Here is the most original 1957 Chevy I have seen in many years! We usually don't even look at 55-57 Chevy's as there are so many in the shows. However this one was so unusual I even had to get a photo of it.

And old faithful! 1922 Dodge Brothers Business coupe. This car was part of our group,and was the oldest car at this show. I really like to inspect this old car,as it is made of very heavy gauge metal,built like a tank,and is all original!

And this got caught in the rain with it's top- down.... 1963 Plymouth convertible.

Vintage cars are always a great way to "meet the boyz" too! (which is just perfect for me!!)
