I've seen this Chevrolet wagon before over the years, but I've never noticed the interior treatment...is that snake skin?
This robin egg blue 1957 Chevrolet was pretty clean. It had a a theme that was carried through the entire car.
Every year, Bud Grubbs makes the trophies for this event by hand. This year, the trophies hand an old country store theme with a working clock.
The flame-throwing competition trophy was also home-built.
This 1949 Harley-Davidson "Old School Chopper" was the only bike I saw at the show.
Not a lot of text today...just an extra helping of kool car photographs.
Come back tomorrow for the final post from the 2010 Mooreland Fair Car Show.
Well, it's a good thing that my wife wasn't with me when this gentleman stepped into my camera's view. Usually she'll tell the person something like, "Well, I hope you don't mind it but your back side is going to be slapped on the Internet for the whole world to see!" Actually typing that just now...I can see how someone might interpret that in a VERY different way. lol
I've seen the "Black Widow" 1957 Chevrolet at a few area shows. It's all numbers matching, although the original engine sits at home and a 350 sits currently sits between the frame rails.
Cool! I was surprised to see this 454 Big Block under the hood of this Impala.
No matter whether you were a Chevrolet, Ford, or Dodge guy....antique, hot rod, or muscle car lover...you could find something to fit your "taste" at the 2010 Mooreland Fair Show. The cars were packed tight into the town's park and in an adjacent grassy lot. So tight that if a guy got their late (oh...that would be me), he might have some difficulty weaving between rows of parked classics to find an open spot.
This maroon El Camino is a "rolling advertisement" for my car club buddies chrome-plating business as I believe almost all of the chrome-plating was done at their place in Hagerstown, Indiana.
I've seen this 1964 Plymouth Sport Fury over the years at many area shows, but I still enjoy when it makes an appearance. You just don't see a lot of early '60s Sport Furys, especially convertibles.
Still lots more photographs to post in the coming days from Mooreland, Indiana.
Well, to be honest, I have a hard time telling the difference between 1946, 1947, and 1948 Chevrolets. About the only chance you have is to look at the car's grille. And many times owners have placed a different year grille on their car. So...this blue sedan is a '46-'48 Chevy. At first glance, it looks like a very clean, mild custom. But upon further inspection, one notices that the back seat can only accommodate one passenger. That's because it had to be shortened to make room for the tubs and wickedly wide rear rubber that is stuffed neatly under the car.
Peroxide Blonde in a Hopped-Up Model Ford - Brian Setzer
Well I went out a cattin’ on a Friday night
I was dressed to kill, I wasn’t lookin’ for a fight.
I looked in the mirror, just a waitin’ for the light,
I saw a hot chick that really looked right.
I’m draggin’, draggin’ down main once more,
With a peroxide blonde in a hopped up Model Ford.
Now I’m draggin’, draggin’ down main once more,
With a peroxide blonde in a hopped up Model Ford.
Well I pulled on over, she asked me for a ride,
She moved real close, side by side.
I looked out the window and to my surprise,
It was a hot rod Ford just a passin’ me by.
I’m draggin’, draggin’ down main once more,
With a peroxide blonde in a hopped up Model Ford.
Well we drove down Main, just to make a scene.
I barked my tire when the light turned green.
I slapped it to the floor, let out on the clutch.
What was left on the road, well it wasn’t very much.
We flew out of town, we were side by side,
Twin carburetors were open wide.
Tires that smoked, engine started to whine
I tell ya, that blonde left me way behind.
I’m draggin’, draggin’ down main once more,
With a peroxide blonde in a hopped up Model Ford.
Now I’m never, never ever, draggin’ down Main no more,
With a peroxide blonde in a hopped up Model Ford.
