Car show yesterday

[DrEntropy]

Went to observe, take a couple photos. Friend & neighbor just a couple weeks ago sold his G37 and came across a 1995 Z-28 he just couldn't refuse. Entered it in this event and won a trophy for "Best Modified Classic" in show.

And if you just HAVE to have a Traubie...

The tag on this El Camino reads "CHROMEO"

The only truly British Mini there. RHD, brought here by a military guy, from Germany:

Trabant USA. Now there's a bit of irony, eh?

A couple of personal favorites:

No "Wonder Bar"?

And who'd a thunk it? In a car show??

I choose ... the 1960 (?) Corvette.

Great design, and a step or two above the original Corvette with the straight six and 2 speed PowerGlide.

This was entered as "Under Construction"....

A Trabant that isn't 97% rust - now that's impressive!

 

[NutmegCT]

"Rust free!" (means there's no extra charge for it)

I would love to have one of those. Saw this at the VA hospital parking lot:

"To conserve expensive metal, the Trabant body was manufactured using Duroplast, a form of plastic containing resin strengthened by recycled wool or cotton."

Cardboard don't rust!!

 

[3798j]

"Duroplast cannot be recycled, which is a shame, as it's strength and mould-able nature makes it comparable to steel. Modern innovations have been implemented to dispose of the Trabants. Some of the vehicles are stripped of everything except the Duroplast, and shredded down, added to concrete and used in construction. This is performed by the same factory that produced the cars originally. Alternatively, some are treated with a new Biotech solution that effectively disintegrates the chassis in just 20 days. The Trabants are the butt of a long standing joke about conditions in Eastern Germany before the Berlin Wall fell in 1989."

Doc,

You didn't enter the Alfa?

 

[DrEntropy]

Doc,

You didn't enter the Alfa?

HA! Too rusty to trust! But in hindsight the MG may have been a good choice.

Cardboard don't rust!!

But it does get soggy

 

[NutmegCT]

1941 - Henry Ford and his experimental plastic car -

 

[AngliaGT]

Wasn't that made from soybeans?

I entered our Midget in a local car show.
When they saw it,they gave me my entry fee back,
& suggested that I show it somewhere else.
