Rain threatened and that must’ve scared cars away and the scheduled piano player didn’t make it either. I’ll ‘borrow’ some oldies music from another show here. The first car of interest to me at the show was Chris’ 1959 Lincoln … Continue reading →

Great weather contributed once again to an overflow turnout at Georgetown Square. Flashback 50s DJ Tony spun the oldies (listen here for a few). Tony bought this white 1955 Ford Crown Victoria with a bubble top in 2003; he’s only … Continue reading →

It was an absolute madhouse at Westchester with perfect weather and a great rock ‘n roll band, the Stingrays (click here for some of their music I recorded). Show cars were parked all the way down in the Dominick’s lot … Continue reading →

This was a new show (in Addison) for me but this was their Seventh Annual Benefit for Shriner’s Children’s Hospital. I was surprised to see so many familiar cars and owners. This one ‘new’ car to me of great interest … Continue reading →
