The show was held on the picturesque grounds of the Southbury Training School
and all donations benefit this school
Food vendors were set up, ready for the earliest arrivals
For hearty eaters, cheeseburgers were on the grill at 8 a.m.
For a little color, lets wander over to the custom car and street rod section
These are the "fun" cars that brighten up any show
1953 Ford — always a favorite with customizers
A less well-known model — try to guess what it is,
then click anywhere on the car for its true identity
Still early A.M. — there'd be little empty space left by afternoon
An American classic — identification isn't necessary, is it?
Same goes for this one
An absolutely gorgeous 1958 Pontiac Bonneville
The Bonneville dash — typical '50s GM glitz
This is a Packard in name only
In reality, it's a Studebaker — in 1957 the true Packard was discontinued
1957 Mercury Turnpike Cruiser
Another Turnpike Cruiser — cars like this gave rise to the term "Detroit Barge"
Novel location for an antenna — if that's what it is
The Mercury's transmission push-buttons — a fad originated by Chrysler
A handsome 1953 Ford convertible
1955 Hudson Hornet
Another Hornet — this one's a 1951
1953 Pontiac
1954 Packard Caribbean
The 1953 edition of the Packard Caribbean
The Packard's shift quadrant
A rear view of this glamorous machine
1951 Ford Tudor (2-door)
1959 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz
The Eldorado's opulent dash
In a last-ditch effort to save the brand, in 1960 Edsel copied
the grille of the highly successful 1959 Pontiac (inset)
But the public rejected it, and the Edsel was discontinued one month
into the 1960 model year, just over two years after its introduction
