Default Show Car Engine Bays

I was going through some of my old car show pictures today and realized I'm starting to get a reasonable collection of engine bay photos.

I had a few minutes of boredom today so I thought I'd upload them and share with you.

See if you can spot the vette motor!

Enjoy

Hi East,
VERY nice pictures.
By Vette motor did you mean the Blue Flame Six or another?
Regards,
Alan

PS: Trivia.. someone who lives near by has one of the 5 (I believe) 55 Corvettes that was delivered with a Blue Flame Six rather than the 265 that was the beginning of an engine that would change EVERYTHING.

I'm still trying to figure out the photo taken at 2:01pm. It looks like a [black] mid-50's Chevy. But is that a cruise transducer mounted by the left-side hood hinge? If not, what the heck is it?

Well, I wouldn't have guessed Black Widow, but I definitely knew it was a feulie '57 Chevy. Nice pictures. Those Hemis in the street rods are outrageous, and I love it!

I was thinking 210 Business Sedan. Anyway, its pretty darn close to the 57 I would get. The chromed up red/whites are just too cliche' and plentiful..

Barretts had a real nice sleeper of an original 210 with a 283, no backseat and a shelf in the rear. Neat car and a real cool 57 IMO.

Nice Engine bat pics btw. None of mine will ever look like that. I like to drive them.

Hi East,
Are the pictures from St. Ignace?
I wouldn't mind spending a day there just looking and enjoying the breeze.
Probably a BIT chilly today?!
MORE?

Alan

Yes, St. Ignace is the closest sizable show in our area.

I hope to enter the vette in the show this summer. As you can see the competition is pretty stiff.

I doubt I'll place, but hope to have a good time.

If you make it to the show Alan, be sure to look me up.

Hi East,
I haven't been to St. Ignace for a few years. We'll be in Manistee for about 3 weeks before that weekend, so just maybe this year.
Regards,
Alan
