While many NICOnauts are in Southern California at JCCS admiring old Japanese cars, my neighbor and I took advantage of the 75 degree sunny day here in PA to check out a local charity car show. Really nice show, very friendly people. About 200 cars there. Not many Japanese cars, and I did have the only Nissan (track rash and all) there, but there were some very nice vehicles there. Some pics.

called a Faux '57. Fun conversion of a previous gen. Camaro into a modern '57 Chevy 'vert. Yes, the Foose Shazoom is sexier, but it was a neat looking kit.


Image


One of the judges expressing his opinion on a C4 Vette. Actually it was a little statue. The real dog was in picture too.

Image

Not only a Torino GT, but an actual R-code. 428 Cobra Jet under the hood, restored to a high standard. it took a trophy.

Image

one of the more interesting vehicles. Called a Peterbuilt but that is a one ton chevy pickup beneath it. Very cool looking. Owner did it entirely himself.

Image

one of the tackiest looking cars ever seen. It's even worse close up with hubcaps in the engine compartment pretending to be turbines, and carbboard rockets which owner later attached to the roof. When I first saw this thing, I thought either a teen or idiot owner bought out the JC Whitney catalog. Well, it wasn't a teen. :facepalm:

Image

Nice Ford coupe street rod, belongs to a friend. Sounds downright evil.

Image

something you don't see every day, a Belvedere not painted red/white and named Christine. Quite nice looking car.

Image

downright sexy street rod, gorgeous build.

Image

A real number matching, survivor GTX. Also belongs to a friend. He has a small collection of Mopars, He bought it off the original owner several years ago.

Image

'67 Olds 442 belongs to a friend. Beautiful paint job, nicely restored and stock.


Image

nice little Model T speedster. The owner is a bit zealous as you can see, but a nice little car.

Image

one of the very few 'foreign cars there. A Ferrari Testarossa

Image

something you don't see many of, a Pontiac Grand-am with the squishy nose...

Image

nice late 70's Land cruiser.

Image

I'm not normally a big T-bucket fan, but this one was beautifully done, and complete with matching trailer.

Image

nice old Transam SD455. Nice car.

Image

and the obligatory shot of my ol' Nissan, sitting beside my neighbor's C6 GrandSport.

I remain convinced that add-on chrome fender trim is a strong sign of dangerous mental instability.

My sister 'dated' a secret service agent that had a Corvette Convertable with all kinds of crap on it. Looks like he has a old Thunderbird now.
