The streets of Old Town are lined with cars waiting for the parade at 8:30 PM.
This '57 Chevy is extensively modified including a swept windshield that appeared as though it could be from a modern Camaro.
Muscle cars? Not all, as this VW bus makes clear.
This truck had a replica on a small turntable on the air cleaner.
An Edsel!
Bob was enamored by this '37 Ford Convertible Coupe - much the same as the car he drove in high school! We decided that $40,000 was a little too steep to relive the days of yore!
Corvette modified for road racing!
This '54 'Vette is one of the first 'Vettes built!
The only year with wire mesh shields over the headlights.
Another trip down memory lane for Bob! This '58 Ford Skyliner with its retractable hardtop was ahead of its time and fraught with mechanical problems. Bob's Dad owned just such a car while Bob was in High School.
The little box with the vinyl top was the allowable luggage storage if the top was to be down.
This Beauford was a new one for us!
Note: A subsequent web search revealed that the Beauford was a replica car sold in kit form to resemble a 30's luxury car! Available with a variety of running gear. Go figure!
The steering wheel on the right suggests British lineage.
The Studebaker Avanti - this one shown by the original owners!
This Model T truck has been extensively modified with the addition of much wooden parts to the cab. It was designed to be propped on stands and drive a belt to power such things as rip saws.
Tomorrow: Mary, Queen of the Universe!
