Default Few car show pics

My wife surprised me with a trip to a local car show on Saturday. Was a little warm out, but we had fun wandering around together. About 200 cars or so - 4 of which were C3 models. Lots of C4 - C6 cars there, and a couple of C2 - C3 models as well. Thought I'd share a couple of photos.

Adam

'73 454 4spd





'76 owned by a really nice couple in their 70's






Super clean '78 with some beautiful body and paint work





Nice '72 vert. Was a factory 454 but now a 350



And I know this isn't a C3, but it's not often you see a '66 427 car, let alone one this nice. (corrected - thanks guys!)





And one I have to share just out of appreciation for a paint job of mind blowing quality. This photo does not do it justice.

Wow-- where was that held? Great photos--thanks !

I was going to hit Pavilions at Indian Bend/101 but didn't want to head out without knowing anyone.

Looks like a great time on the other side of town!

Hey CQRT,

It was in Goodyear at the baseball park. Was a nice show and very organized. They were an hour early with the judging results. The Pavilions show is always a good time. Very nice cars and a good turnout every weekend.

Those are the best car shows, you get to see the beautiful results of the time, money and effort that we car nuts put in.

Great pics. Thank you. That is not a 1967, however.

I don't doubt I got that mixed up. I was pretty sure the sign said '67, but we looked at a lot of cars that day

Thanks for catching that mixup.

No problem. We do appreciate the pics! I drove a 1967 for five years and did notice the wrong label. But what the heck...Great photos.

After much restoration ($$$s) I sold that car in 2008 when the recession hit.

Have a few minutes, so here are a few more from the show. I was impressed with the quality of the cars. Fantastic paint and body work and overall attention to detail.

Hope you enjoy...

Hey Rogman.... Sitting in the garage all summer. It's on hold right now as we try to launch my new design business.

How's your trip to DC been? When you getting back to Vegas?

D.C. has been pretty good... Went home last weekend (CDay weekend) but promised I wouldn't work on the vette since it was my first weekend home... I did pull the cover off and looked at how the primer was looking after a couple of months... Looks ready to guide and sand...

I'm shooting for Vet's Day, T-giving and Christmas as my next 3 visits... Plan is to finish some body work, guide coat, and re-prime before coming back in January...

Look forward to updates on your vette...

Glad to hear you're doing well Rogman. Also good to hear that you are getting at least a little "at home" time with you wife.

Also glad you all are enjoying the photos!

Adam
