No match for Skip's Mega-Cruise later in the summer, 438 is a record for a first-of-season show

You could get lost in the sprawling field of
fascinating vehicles
Cars were coming in throughout the afternoon and evening

A high-finned 1959 Cadillac grabbed a lot of
attention
The Caddy's glitzy dash was typical of 50s cars

A familiar front end on Amercan highways at the
beginning of the 50s decade
This is the 1950 "Shoebox" Ford

1955 Buick Special
This gorgeous 1962 Imperial Crown convertible shows up at many shows in the area

A few facts about the '62 Imperial
The oval steering wheel and push-button drive were fads that never caught on

The Imperial's daring, but not very practical,
rear end treatment
1936 Auburn Boattail Speedster Street Rod

Actually, it's a replica built in 1978 by
California Custom Coach and Auburn Speedster Co.
Congratulations on a beautiful job

A 1958 Cadillac with a nice paint job
I always loved those high-finned DeSoto's — this is the 1957 top-of-the-line Fireflite

...and this is the entry-level 1958 Firesweep
1939 Ford — my dad owned one of these but without the flames

An earlier Ford, the 1932 model, and its first
year with the V8

the hood of a 1939 Lincoln Zephyr
The Zephyr was a lower-priced Lincoln introduced in 1936

The V12 engine installed in early Zephyrs
Who wouldn't recognize this icon of the 50s?

The 1957 Chevrolet is as familiar to young and
old today as it was when new
You'll rarely find a car show without at least one

The '57 Chevy's neat, functional dash
