Classic Car Show pictures from Yesterday

[hollydolly]

At the local lakes and parkland there was a Classic car show which we visited yesterday...lots of the usual 60's style British and German cars..minis', VeeDubs, etc..but also quite a few American classic cars...not really old vintage like you see in Museums but more Modern Vintage ergo ''Classic Car Show''..

We had a lovely couple of hours looking around and enjoying the cars and the atmosphere, but many of the cars didn't have any information of what make they were or any history of them which was a shame..perhaps you might know some of these cars or have owned one just like them ..so I thought I'd make a thread for them

This was the venue which is about 15 minutes from my house...

Nice shots, Holly! Love these old cars. I'm very familiar with some of the American ones. Looks like you were having great weather!

I have absolutely no idea what this is ..it had a badge on the front saying KI but nothing more.. (wonder if it meant Kit) .. it had just 3 wheels and the body looked like wood but was a kind of laminate..

Beautiful pictures, Holly. I love old cars and we had a car show here at the beach yesterday. No pictures.

It was a lovely day Annie...the forecast said it would be cloudy and only 12 degrees...so lots of people came out in coats, but it was hot, and like I told you yesterday hubs go sunburnt on the back of his neck.. (and he had a jumper on)


This was a beauty...in deep purple..

Those Cadillacs with fins bring back memories. My first bf used to drive his dad's Caddy.

Some of the older cars had so much character. Hard to find today.

When I had driver's ed in high school the local Cadillac dealer donated a car, so I learned to drive in a big ole Cadillac.

 

[hollydolly]

WOW...bet you're glad you didn't have to learn in a Cadillac on our tiny little country lanes Annie..

Oh, no way! I never liked driving big cars but here it would be a nightmare! We have to go on single tracks quite often.

Yup here too... it would be horrendous to drive a huge American car through these narrow country lanes... but I do like to look at them..they remind me of American TV shows in my youth..

My first car here was a wee 2 door Clio. Easy peasy. Parked it anywhere. But we drive a car now that seems big to me - the Citroen xsara Picasso.
