Default Oshawa Autofest 2015

Just a bit of glass from Autofest in Oshawa Ont. a week ago. Pictures were from Sat, apparently there was a larger gathering on Sunday but I had other commitments.

Some the same as seen last year, some different.

I think that's Charlie's car. I especially like the ghost stripe on it. Looks like he has done a little touch up on the hood since last year. Very nicely done. (I didn't even realize it was a reworked l88 until Bruce pointed it out to me.

I talked to him at the Ajax cruise night, apparently the car has been repainted recently, that makes the ghosted stripe even more so, it's very well crafted custom.

Yup, that is my buddy Charlie's car. Earlier this spring he was rear ended by a guy driving a Cadillac CTS V who followed him off the 401!

He had the whole car repainted with the repairs.

I like looking at styling and workmanship, usually regardless of the car

This old truck


The tin and metal work was copper (or copper plated)




The lines on these Rivs' are just outstanding, designed with style not wind-tunnels


Kind of old hat now but the matching trailers are still kind of neat.


This hood prop needs some credit (although I'm not 100% sure why the partially open hoods are in)


And then there was this guy out cruising the strip

I use a twisted wrought iron stair rail for a hood prop on our 69 Grand Prix.... for a couple reasons. One, I use it to prop up the sign board. Two, the hood is 6 feet long and weighs a ton and I wouldn`t want it to slam down on somebody. And three, the lower hood keeps most people from leaning in. I think that`s probably why most people use them.
