A Sea Of Cars

I like the displays the owners have in their cars. 

This morning, we visited the civic grounds to admire the cars. However, we found heavy traffic, both vehicular and pedestrian, making it more congested than in previous years. I found the sheer number of cars overwhelming. While they were beautiful, it felt like "you've seen one, you've seen them all," given the multitude of cars on display.

We stayed 2 1/2 hours, and I was ready, whereas the husband wanted more...

I mean, how many hoods can you look under? 

I snapped photos of the cars I liked. 

I loved everything about this one, from the tailgate display to the beautiful wood on the sides, white wall tires, and the colors!

I tend to go for the old classic Chevys. 

I believe this is an International Harvester. 

I also like the black matte paint job on this Mustang. 

Sharp!

My eyes always go toward the greens and blues...

This one had one of those dolls - like a pouting child in the back seat. 

My husband goes for the really old cars - and red is his favorite color. 

Nice trailer in back of this one. 

I don't remember what this was, but I liked the unusual way the doors opened. 

The Silver Fox is on the left - Gorgeous! 

I saw a car display that made me nostalgic for the days of drive-in restaurants where roller-skating waitresses served burgers.

Sharp!

The grounds were busy in the morning and even more crowded in the afternoon with even more classic cars coming in.

Music was playing on the loud speakers - 

That yellow one is nice. 

I'm looking down - 

What more can I say? Cars, Cars, Cars...

I got a little fancy here - lining up the raised hoods in this photo. 

 I'm getting a rum dummy with all these car shots...

Loved this trailer better than the car!

Now I thought this was ironic - a classic Mustang in the Tesla charging station!

Not today Tesla Owners - you'll have to charge somewhere else! 

Here's another one...

And here at Charge Point. I wonder how many EV owners complained? 

Wow what a radiant Red. Notice the "cooler" on the passenger window?

During our summer trips to Tennessee, Indiana, and Ohio, my father used to rent a cooler from U-Haul that was filled with water and ice cubes. At that time, air conditioning was considered an expensive extra, and we didn't have it until 1968, when my dad purchased his new Chevrolet Impala Super Sport—a two-door car with bucket seats. 

In order to get cool air, Mom had to pull on a strap. However, one time, my mother pulled too hard, causing all the ice and water to pour out on her. We all found it amusing and laughed about it.

Now imagine this scene: you're driving through the desert back into California after a 3 week vacation. You're hot, tired and ready to be home. Not much longer! There is a bag hanging on the outside front of the car, which contained radiator water. Always a challenging situation when your car would overheat, despite having the water bag. We always made the best of it and turned it into a good memory. It's fascinating how even the most challenging situations can become a source of fond memories. This was before coolant in the radiators. 

I hope you enjoyed all the pretty cars. Which one is your favorite?
