While out roaming around today I saw two Kia Stingers and one of those new electric 2-door Dodge Chargers

No problem.  Just take the photo I posted, remove the rear doors and continue with life.  I've been a Ford guy since my dad worked at a Ford garage in the early 1960s (Johnson Bros service for Fords, Inglewood, CA).  GM to me always meant "Giant Mustang".

This is an older pic but I was showing it to a guy at work today so I figured I'd show it here while I'm at it.

This showed up at my workplace. While it is obviously a very well restored '67 C10, it took me a while to realize the uniqueness of the CST "Custom Sport Truck" package. It's very refreshing to see such a nice example of a bone stock truck instead of another street rodded version or a patinamobile. Though I wouldn't hesitate to throw a set of aluminum slots or Cragars on it!

The camaro is pretty junky, nothing special. At least not yet. Yes on the go kart. And here's the '63 ragtop.

Super nice truck but whoever put the new upholstry on the seat needs to take it back off and put in another layer of 1" foam. There's no way it would have left the shop I trained at like that. Must have been an owner done job.

I agree, don't know the story on that. But should be an easy fix. The seat back doesn't have that issue.

A well styled cadillac and this thing. I guess if it sticks,it fits.

Super easy.

Just snap off the hog rings, take the cover off, add a layer of foam and put the cover back on. It'd take me less then an hour.

Just surprising that they left it that way. Maybe they're not done yet but it looks finished to me.

One of the best-looking pickups ever.

I haven't seen one with those wheel covers in a long time.

Looks to be a ‘64, first year of the Chevelle. That’s a nice one.

Cool stuff; really like the ‘69 Cougar and the ‘67 Skylark wagon as well as the ‘74 Satellite wagon and the ‘66-67 Charger but that ‘65 Grand Prix is stunning.

The Desoto wasn't even entered in the show and was drawing a crowd.  My mother had a dodge sportsman van when I was a kid, had to take that picture. It was a good show,probably 125 cars or so. I went mostly for the racing, they had the F.A.S.T. class (factory appearing, stock tire) running.  Basically factory stock looking cars running WAY faster. It's basically all the bench racing stories turned into reality.

I'm really enjoying everyone's posted sightings..

Today a friend of my brother stopped by to help him with wiring and attaching the original turn signals to the Fat Boy he just bought that the previous owner removed.  This is one of the friend's rides he built himself. It's a 32 Ford powered by a SB Chevy w/ BDS 471 blower w/ 3 Rochester carbs.

Just a reminder, that Car Show photos have their own section. This section is for cars you see, on the road, while out and about.
