Pavilions Cruise Photos 11/25/2017

[CC Rider]

What a great day to be a car guy living in the valley! Temps were in the 80's with unlimited sunshine. We actually started out at a Cars and Coffee at Gateway Classic Cars in Scottsdale, the Bob A and I drove over to Pavilions.

John W was saving a bunch of spots for us and keeping an eye on Toby's '57 Cadillac. Also met up Dennis, GM Joe, Scott S, Kevin D, and Larry C. The Blythes arrived a bit later. I saw Paul's Camaro and Shaun P's 67 Impala, but never saw them. John H was also there.

I'll start out with this awesome '61 SS convertible.

I remember Grumpy Jenkins explaining to me how hard it was to find one of these emblems. I met him at Super Chevy Maple Grove in the late 80's.

Owner stated this hood release was an SS only item. See the oval emblem with bowtie? Right below the grill.
