Street fair with lots of vintage autos.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
