As always, the Conroe Cruisers Car Club put on a terrific show at the League Line Road Outlet Mall...
|
Bikes are cool, but we came for the cars and trucks... |
|
The first of many really clean, really sharp trucks... |
|
There were plenty of 60's Camaros to drool over... |
|
This beautiful Chevelle brought back some memories... |
|
Look closely at this rarity...Mercury only marketed the Medalist one year, 1956...Its proud owner is polishing the left rear taillight... |
|
The attractive model I brought with me is eyeing a late 60's Buick Riviera... |
|
I believe the device strapped to the model's back is a parachute in case she decided to bail out on me... |
|
I don't particularly care for the Mad Max lugnuts, but the workmanship in this truck speaks for itself... |
|
This is one super-sharp early sixties Chevy... |
|
Its older twin is this 1950 model... |
|
A very clean mid-80's square body Chevy... |
|
This early 50's Chevy Deluxe Sedanette is an example of how straight six engines were modified for power before the introduction of the Chevy V8 in 1955...Dual carburetors on a log manifold and a split exhaust... |
|
This Ford F-100 is always a show stealer... |
|
The show abounded in nice Corvettes... |
|
A big-block Super Sport Camaro... |
|
This truck was not an entry, but should have been... |
|
This El Camino was modified with the addition of Monte Carlo SS body parts... |
|
A rare 1934 Ford pickup... |
|
A late 30's International pickup with a 454 Chevy engine... |
|
A perennial favorite is this 1946 Ford Super Deluxe coupe...The first year of post-WWII production... |
|
No V8 for this Mercury Comet, just a reliable 170 CI straight six... |
|
My favorite car at this show is this 1957 Ford Fairlane with Dayton wire wheels...I had to watch "Thunder Road" again after seeing this one... |
|
In the 50's this style would have been called "just plain piperacks" because of its simplicity...I like 'em like this... |
|
A beautiful Chevy Nova... |
|
I incorrectly guessed the year model of this El Camino...My attractive model had to point out that it is a 1966... |
|
An old debadged Roadrunner with a modern Hemi...It's hard to believe 50 years have passed since this was new... |
|
This truck is so brilliant, my model had to avert her eyes... |
|
A sharp Z-28... |
|
I had to split my favoritism between this 1966 Dodge Power Wagon with its Cummins 4BT and the 1939 Dodge seen later... |
|
Seen from any angle this is a stunner...I particularly like the Braden winch... |
|
My model was stunned over the attention to detail on this 1955 Ford F-100... |
|
I always drool over '55 Chevies...My own in high school was a 2 door hardtop, but I could get used to this sedan... |
|
A really cool Deuce... |
|
This car's builder found it in a state of disrepair and rebuilt it in dirt track style... |
|
I'm never sure how to describe this work of art other than to say it is unique... |
|
This 1950 Ford coupe has numerous styling cues once seen on the full customs of the fifties...Chopped top, lowered suspension, pancaked and louvered hood, nosed & decked, frenched headlights... |
|
The shark's tooth grille is from a '53 Chevy and I believe the bumper is a Cadillac LaSalle...Note the twin teardrop spotlights and the butted and flushed windshield...I was afraid to inquire about the asking price...I might have been forced to write a check... |
|
A very nicely done 1934 Ford three window coupe... |
|
Another non-entry that should have been... |
|
I really liked this 1939 Dodge 1-ton truck...The wheels really set it off...Power is from a Cummins 6BT... |
|
Another non-entry was this 1963 Ford Galaxie...I'm curious what was under the hood... |
In all fairness, your model was pretty cold! But I love the way you blended it in so seamlessly....close call between the Fairlane and the Bel Air for me!
ReplyDeleteAny way you look at her, the model is a babe regardless of the temperature!...Maybe she'll be available for future photo shoots since she not only classes up the joint, but also works cheap...
ReplyDeleteYou talked me into it....
