CAR SHOW AT QUEEN CREEK

I had not attended a car show for many moons, so I could not resist going to one at Schnepf Farms south of Mesa. I took an old 35 mm camera to finish a test roll and the pictures came out well. These were taken in my Canon A1100 IS 12 mp point and shoot, so convenient to use.

Here are some classical street rods, usually beginning with a Ford Model A coupe body and with a V8 and modern running gear being added.

How long has it been since you have seen a Studebaker on the street? My Uncle Jim had a bright yellow  Studebaker convertible in the late 1940s.

 

I could not resist  this picture. At the left is a 1937 Ford tudor. A black version of  that was our family car from about 1940 to 1955. I learned how to drive on it. The blue one is a 1940 Ford. A black 40 tudor was my first car.

 

 

 

Very few  1905 Mitchell cars were made. This probably was the oldest at the show

Do you miss chromy dashboards?

 

Isn’t this a pretty one with suicide doors and a big V8

My third car was black 1966 Plymouth two door, not nearly as pretty as this 1955 station wagon
