Car Show at the Farmers Market

This morning Catherine and I went up to a local farmers market to pick up produce, it is so much better than what you typically at a supermarket. Anyway there was a car show in the parking lot, and as I go nowhere without the camera, I got a few shots, here they are.











A few more to come

Those are about all the photos I got, it was a small show so that was about all there was to see.

Nice photos Glen. As a teenager in the '60's, the '57 Belair was one of the favorite choices for customizing (translated increased horse power, suspension, etc.) Then you were set to take on the 13 second quarter mile, better known as the drag race (I spent many a Friday night at the Fremont drag strip (located in the San Francisco bay area.)

I remember driving some of those cars (not those pictured probably) what great memories you have given me.

I've heard about people being addicted to coke but come on!




Fun pictures but as they aren't kilt related I motored them over to Off Topic Glen

Cheers

Jamie

They could not be kilted, I was taking them, oh well. Glad you liked them, let me tell you I got more than my fair share of stares in that small crowd.

On my way home today from the NH Games at Loon mountain I passed a string of Brit cars on their way home from the British Invasion show at Stow Vermont. Unfortunately I had my camera packed. There were some great looking new and old Bentleys, Morgans, Aston Martins and an MG sedan? A very cool sight to see on the American highway.
