Went to the local show on the MC base...pics

Last Thursday a guy sticks his head into my office and asks "who owns that Hupmobile outside?". Then he invited me to a people's choice car show on the base at Cherry Point on Saturday. I figured what the heck, it'd be nice to see some cool cars so I went. The last car show I went to was about 30 years ago. It was time. I built my car to drive not to show. I had no expectations and was absolutely floored to pick up a small trophy for "Top 30". Here's a few pics of the best of the best...

That 37 Packard was sweet. all original with only 43k miles! The same guy entered a 76 Rolls Corniche. Both cars won a Top 30 prize. This coupe won Best Interior. I shopuld have taken a shot of that...

Something goofy going on. I keep getting an error message saying my post already exists. My copy is being posted but the pics are disappearing. Bear with me... trying again...best of show...

Last but certainly not least a couple of traditional rods...

That 'BEST OF SHOW" sure has some "salad shooter" wheels doesn't it?

"Salad Shooter" wheels. I love it!

I hadn't heard that term, but it's a perfect description of those particular abominations - as well as all the popular styles that have that same goofy look. What ARE these people thinking?
