It was a great street fair with a lot of cars,
Great music, good food, good drink.

These cars remind me of old times. I use
to go to school with kids who owned some
of these cars.

More: The second photo in the group the 1957 chevy
actually has a digital dash board. I didn't see it lit up but
you could tell that's what it was.

Last group. Did anyone find the 1924 Franklin??

Nice one QS. Love the pics. I could spend hours checking out old school cars like those. Takes me back to when my dad had a Chevy Bel Air, I think it was a 1959 model. Sheesh, how time flies.

Not sure if you saw my recent thread on similar rides at a hot rod festival that's held each year here on the Gold Coast: Hot Rods with Hot Mods
1st pic, now that's how you slam a car.

Thanks :thumbup:

Great photos, thanks for posting.

The Franklin is easy, with that grill. Wouldn't have known it was a 1924 except for the license plate. I like the grey 1930 Ford Phaeton. Now help me out with the older grey touring car with the red (artillery?) wheels. The grill looks a lot like a Packard. The wheels suggest late teens, perhaps 1918 to 1920. Did you note what it in fact was?

Oh Oh... Not sure if I got that one.
I'll look and a larger picture and see.

those are interesting...how much were they going for? 1

Some were for sale but I didn't note any prices.
Mostly these folks just gather to show off their vehicles
and have a good time.

Cool Pics, QwkAg!
They too, remind me of our HS parking lot, '62-'65, though none
were in that condition, or modded as well. ;)

My first car was a '52 Ford, flathead V8, 3 on the tree...it cost less
than a tire does now, for my X.
Thanks for the pics...you & R would look good in that Chevy Impala
Vert, 3rd from the top. :thumbup:

I'd say Packard also, probably circa late 1910's - early 1920's. The square grill with a half dome has Packard written all over it, plus the radiator cap logo looks like a Packard.

Here are two pix of 1920 Packard Twin Sixes.

A close inspection of the wheel centers shows this
symbol..... So Packard it must be:thumbup:

love that red cam SS

Great photos the Camaro looks great, timeless design.

I cherish my 67 Chevelle SS because I CAN repair anything on that car myself vs. this new crap where you must take it to the dealer. It seems the car companies have made these new cars intentionally where the owner can not possibly do most repairs himself. I like my 06 X 6 speed in how it drives etc but it's not fun driving over 3 hours for service because I can't fix it myself. I'm now considering an 05 911 turbo convertible but worry about the repairs I can't perform. For the same money I could get a nice 65-67 vette and be able to fix EVERYTHING on that car myself. Shadetree mechanics will soon be extinct!
