Local Car Show

[SUSQ]

Had a great day on Saturday for the annual car show in my home town of Mount Joy, PA. This thing gets bigger every year. Great cars and good food! Cars lined both sides of the Main Street for about a quarter mile. I got there right at 10:00 when it started so I could take pictures before the crowd got arrived.

Let's go!

SUSQ on the right. Hey Sam Griffith, recognize the handsome guy on the left?

Here's one of his beauties. Sam, can you add any commentary on this one?

Camera batteries died almost immediately so I completed the mission with my trusty Treo smartphone. This 4 speed, 442 was nice beyond words! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/headbang.gif

This 4 speed Bonneville had me drooling uncontrollably http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/drool.gif If I could pick one from the show, it would probably be this beauty. Stunning!

Not something you see every day. Cadillac power, I believe.

Just a sample of the turnout on Saturday. Nice to walk two blocks from my home to a great car show. I'm already looking forward to next year!http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/headbang.gif

Looks like a cool show! Good food is always a plus. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

[mockingbird812]

Abe - way cool. That's my cousin Bernard! His daughters and I are contemporaries. Think you told me before that you and Sharon went to HS together. Believe he lives just down the street from you (on Park Av.). That is his trusty '48 (possibly '49) Chrysler Town and Country woody convertible. Neat car! He is a Mopar man thru and thru. Also has a big block (440) mid-60s) Dodge Monaco in light yellow that he bought new. Thanks for taking the shot. Mount Joy is a great little town with lots of history. Its been awhile since I have been back. Thanks!! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

[SUSQ]

Glad to do it! Is he the original owner of the Chrysler woody 'vert? She looks dead-on original.

[mockingbird812]

Hey Abe. No, he bought the Woody back in 1990 or so after retiring from Mars Candy. Always liked going to visit cousin Bernard and gettin' the tours of the candy factory!!! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

Thanks for the pics, nice cars.

Does anyone here ever go up the New Castle (north of Pittsburgh) for their big show?

[Salvatore]

Nice pictures! Mt. Joy, I got a ticket in Mt. Joy back in 1970. Said the nova was way to loud. Had GM over the counter chambered exhaust on the 69 SS. Visiting a girl friend at Elizabethtown College. AHHHH those were the days. Young, dumb and full of http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hmmm.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif Thanks Abe!

Looks like an Allard, which would have originally had Cadillac power http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Thanks for the coverage http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif And by the way, those are undoubtedly the best cell phone camera pics I've ever seen!
