Some pics from weekly cruise night

[NYLIBUD]

This cruise night usually brings in well over 500 cars every week.It’s held at a church,and it’s only a buck to get in,that goes to the church.Here’s some pics.And a picture of my friends drag racing diorama.And all the cars in the diorama are modeled after some real cars that attend the show..

Oh yea that Mustang was bad ****..It was Just insane.And the Econoline was also insane.Looked like a Hot Wheels car.

Wasn't that Econoline built by one of the garages that have/had a tv show ?

A lot of good looking rigs and I agree that Econoline needs to be done in 1/25th plastic.

Yea it is possible,I think you might be right.Or it could’ve been a replica.I should’ve asked the owner.

Some more shots of cars at our Tuesday cruise night.

This car has been around for years.And there’s something about it that I really like.I guess cause it’s old school.The mono chromed look,the unpolished center lines,and the side exhaust.IMO,it’s just a mean looking car.

Great pix. Anyone understand why guys would kick the rear wheel out on that one bike? I have only seen that done in the south. Just a style thing maybe. I would think the extra length would destabilize it somewhat.

The extended swing arm is to keep the front down when they drag race, from what I can tell.  I can ask the kid at work that ran his at Norwalk this weekend. 8.4 in the 1/4 if I remember correctly.  Mostly stock except for the longer swing arm. I tell him he is a nut. LOL

As your friend hopefully continues to age he will come to the realization that he is no longer indestructible.

That thing has to be a handful at the track.

I talked to him today, and yes it is to keep the front down. He said he went 157 on that bike once this year.  The local Drag strip ( Milan) is closed and for sale.

Relooking at the black Matador picture I just noticed the interior. I remember some ads from AMC why back when and they were offering some designers interior as an option. Wasn't very common as I recall and if this car has that original interior it could be a very unusual car in deed.
