Your pictures are beautiful Archer. .. Brings back some great memories.
When my husband was living, going to car shows was one of his favorite things. A real car nut also.
He didn't like to call them "hot rods" though ... they were "classics".. He was into restoring cars as a hobby ...
loved Hudson Hornets, the old Chrysler line of V-8 Plymouth Barracudas, etc) and Studebakers best. His prize Studebaker Hawk ended up at the Dearborn Car Museum in Michigan. I remember he cried like a baby when he sold that car.
