It's Monday, car show day! (pic heavy)

[Archae]

I was practically drooling, myself...

1. Guy in my neihborhood has almost the twin of the '57 red and white Chevy.

He was driving it today.
Thanks for the pix.

[sinkingfeeling]

12. The red and white one is a 1956. The turquoise and white is the '57.

[trof]

16. Oh hell yes. My error.

Not paying attention.

[Scuba]

2. Cool. Thanks Archae.

[Mr.Bill]

3. Lots of nice old Chevrolets there.

Thanks for sharing the pics.

[bluesbassman]

4. Wow! Thanks for sharing Archae!

I have a soft spot for the '67 Chevelles as I owned one once. Really kick myself for selling it.

Love that '69 Roadrunner too!

5. Does this baby count?

I mean, it does have an awsome paint job.

I'm sorry if this going overboard, but I can't help it. Give me an old SS, or Camero, Firebird, and I'll put some slicks on it, and throw some nitro into the engine.

And OMG! If I was ever able to get my hands on a roadster, or a kit to build one, you know where you would find me.

You can't help me with this disease of fast mussel cars. Had it since 1974. No cure.

What is this thing anyway? I keep confusing on old Hudson with a Ford. So I'm not sure what car this is.

6. That one looks more like what they call a "Funny Car."

The outside is a fiberglass shell, molded to look like a particular car.

The inside is a drag racer.

[A HERETIC I AM]

14. I'm pretty sure the T/S in the windshield stands for "Top Sportsman"

As that car looks NOTHING like a Funny Car.

This is a Top Fuel Funny Car


The one in the previous post is not in the same class, not by a long shot. It likely retains much of the original chassis.

[90-percent]

18. Hudson into Ford

It's supposed to be a 34 Ford three window coupe. The body was reformed to be "swoopy" and provide some downforce aerodynamics to keep the car stable and slicks hooked up at high speeds.

7. Nice pics.

Is the truck called a dropside?

I believe that is what VW calls them.

[Archae]

8. Yes it does have the drop on the side...

And in the back.

It's a Corvair pickup truck.

The engine is in the rear, the owner put a plastic sheet over the engine.

17. Greenbriar?

Learned to drive a stick in one of those, came in handy when I graduated to a GTO...

[Mopar151]

20. Yup, I beleive you are correct

The ramp is unique to Greenbriars. "Dropside" is uaually a generic term for truck bodies - you see them on some of the Home Depot rentals.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

9. Saw a 60 Chevy Belair tonight...

[B Calm]

10. Back in 1973 I owned a 1965 Malibu SS convertible, sold it for $100.00

[sinkingfeeling]

11. I'll take the '57 Chevy!

[Link Speed]

13. Is that a missile silo behind the '57 Cevy?

The seats in the coupe (2nd pic) are freaking hilarious.

[Archae]

15. No, not a missle.

It's the town hall and base of the water tower.

[Rhiannon12866]

19. I'm pretty sure that my grandmother had the turquoise Chevy...

Great cars!
