Jersey Late Great Chevies Picnic photos

[njsteve]

At Verne's invitation I attended the Jersey Late Greats picnic today in Mercer County park, West Windsor, NJ. Definitely a nice bunch of folks. They welcomed me with open arms even though I was the only Mopar guy there. Here are some photos from the event:

A group shot with all the cars including a Corvair vintage race car.





Some nice Corvairs from various years, including a van:





A really slcik early El Camino (1960-61???) with a 348:





A 1958 and a 60/61? and my old dodge:





And the piesta-resistance (pardon my butchering of the foreign spelling). Verne's 1962 black and red, Impala SS, 409 four-speed convertible (the real deal). Complete with tow tabs, red sparkly Grant steering wheel and Mickey Thompson rims. He's owned it since 1968 when he bought it off the bargain lot in the back of Reedman Chevrolet in Pennsylvania:









And though Verne is embarassed by what he considers the undetailed engine bay of his car, here is a photo. Sorry Verne, but they have to see this. Verne, that's not dirt in there, it's called patina. This is how a 60's-era hotrod should look!
