Cruise Night: New Smyrna Beach FL [pictures]

Just got back from the monthly cruise night at New Smyrna Beach, Florida - put on by the "East Coast Cruisers". The town of New Smyrna Beach (between Daytona and Cape Canaveral) closes the main east/west street that ends at the Indian River, a couple miles from the Atlantic Ocean. The event is held the 2nd-Saturday of each month, between 5pm and 9pm.

This was my first visit to the event and it's a good one. Really well organized (like a real car show, not just a drive-in), the club hands out maps of the town, a list of food places on the street, and a copy of their own magazine - all for free.

I didn't count, but I imagine there were well over 100 cars there. Several British cars were there, including four MGs (all MGB roadsters), an Austin Healey 3000, Jaguar XK150, Jaguar E-Type coupe, two AC-Cobra replicas, and a couple of Triumph motorcycles.

I've put lots of pictures up at: https://1903.dns2go.com/nsb05web/ the British section starts on page 1.

The next NSB cruise night is June 8th.

Do my eyes deceive, or did that Black Healey have an LT1 Corvette engine?

You have quite an eye for detail

Look at the tires too - very late model Corvetteish, eh? Also the gear-shift buried in the tunnel. I was told the car itself is genuine, but obviously a lot of changes have been made other than just the engine.
