It was an assembly of Hot Rods, Classics, Kustoms and Muscle Cars — porn for petrolheads (or gearheads if you’re American) and definitely not a place for Low-Carbon types!
Nearly all cars were American with a scattering of Australian and a Brit lurking here and there — but no Germans or Japs.
A stage with bands (playing songs such as ‘Life is a Highway’), fashion shows and vendors filled out the spare space.
Here’s a few of the many pics we took — a second batch tomorrow.
- Summing up the theme of the day? A 1971 Mercury Cougar
1963 Plymouth Belvedere
1957 Lincoln
1959 Plymouth Savoy
a 1958 Edsel Citation — with the famous horse collar grille (it has been likened to other things)
A diminutive Brit — a 1973 Ford Escort. The standard car was quite underpowered, but this looks to have been given some extra grunt.
at the other end of the scale, a car that’s even bigger than it looks — a 1963 Cadillac Coupe de Ville
