Default Taking Time Out

While passing through this small town today I stopped to enjoy the simple little things, "Like small town Car shows". Here is a few pic of memory lane.

Several very nice classics there, but my fav is the first pic.

As a self employed contractor, my DD has long been a truck, so I'm drawn to the old ones.

Thanks for sharing the scent.

I think it's called "Americana". Car shows with lots of Detroit muscle, apple pie & of course - Chevrolet

Love it, how can you not.

On grass, well spaced apart, sun bouncing off all the chrome, lots of Cragers, - all the right ingredients for a show.

Thanks for sharing.

Your ride, as well as all the others, look great. Good turnout and a nice variety of cars.

Nothing like an unexpected car show or gathering when your taking a ride. Great that you had your camers. Real nice group of cars.
