Car Show Pics...

We walked the annual 5th Ave Naples, FL car show a few weekends ago. It is put on by the F Car club, so F Cars are in huge attendance, as in about 3 city blocks worth, both sides, angle parked tightly. There is some serious dough here in SW FL.

There were only a handful of BMWs, and most of those were semi-boring/ho hum, from the local dealer's lot.

The usual Detroit Muscle cars, Vettes, hot rods, and some rarities fill in the several other blocks of cars. It has become a very popular mid winter 'show' here in the area, and we hit the gates as door busters, but the streets were already packed; thus, 'clean shots' of cars were hard to come by, and the morning was dark and overcast. NEway, some pics of cars I liked, and cars one doesn't see every day at Walmart.
Thanks for looking.
GL, mD

One of the few BMWs...not sure about those side effects:


Literally blocks of F Cars.










One of my Fave States, and an F Car for the owner's winter home, here in Naples. Hard to beat:


My CEO next to another row of F Cars:






Very Rare Koenigsegg CCXR:


Biz End of an Enzo:


A block of PCars, but not much out of the ordinary, though these track-ish cars were nice:


A '49 MG TC for JCL, ;>)

2nd Batch...sorry for the repeat/mislabelled dbl photo of the Koenigs above. The site still will not allow me to edit a post with anything but type in the post. Ugh...
Biz End of an Enzo:


Nice GTO for the older readers:


AC Cobra, the real deal:


427 Cobra Engine:


Cobra Replica with Roush Motor:


'56 Studebaker Hawk...


With very rare optional Packard 352 and 2 four bbls:


Lotsa Rods; one of my Faves, a '32 Flathead:


Engine was fabulous, and breathed on a bit:


Fisker Karma...your basic $120Gs, 3 ton, 1% econo car, lmao! This was from a dlr in Miami, but there was literally no one around to talk about the car, and most people just walked by and had no clue what it was:




Nice Mustang:


Cutest...having been to the ABCs several times on dive trips, it was good to see:


'34 3 Window Coupe:


& it's engine:


And, our '02 Vette...

Great shots MD, as always. And thanks for the picture of the TC, I was looking at it for a minute deciding what year it was before I realized you had captioned it for me!

I like the six pack carbs as well. These days, with fuel injection, we have forgotten how good we have it. Balancing carbs is a dying art I am afraid.

No shortage of F-cars. You have an Enzo too.
Nice Fisker Karma.

Thanks for sharing the fabulous fotos. Glad to see you and V are rubbing elbows with the right crowd. Hey, I've seen that last car before, in person.
