First Saturday in October brings the Concours de Maryhill car show at the Maryhill Museum on the Columbia River at Maryhill South of Goldendale WA. The show runs in conjunction with the Maryhill hill climb that runs up the old Maryhill road on Sunday (today) and is primarily members of Sovren a sports car race club out of Seattle. That section of road is the oldest and first paved road in the state of Washington and there were hill climbs there in the late 50's and early 60's after the new highway was built. The show is an open show with lots of shiny late models including a few Corvettes that looked like they may have rolled out of the showroom last week (no photos of those in the album though) lots of odd foreign cars including a Jenson Interceptor III with a big Mopar wedge. and a few Hamb friendly cars along with some very interesting race cars. You knew I'd find the AD trucks, interesting use of a stock V8 air cleaner on a 4 barrel on top of a 250 six What happens when you let Volvo drivers into your car show. This one was spot on for TROG Small 34 Got some nice wood
I couldn't get down to see what he was looking at as I would still be stuck there and not able to get up. One of those funny looking overhead engines with the distributor in the front,
How about a 1909 Isotta Fraschini speedster? Rear end cover on this car nice detail work done in 1909 In this case the showboard that was discretely tucked down by the rear quarter tells us what we want to know about the car. Big red brute
This T speedster rocked and had so many nifty and correct for the build things on it. Nothing that appeared to be "wrong" for the build. T block A crank, pressure oiling, finned high compression head and several other tricks
Not a bad view from the car show either The hill climb cars drove about 5 miles from the pits at the hill climb to the show as they do every year There were several food vendors as the show is several miles from any place to get food and a number of vendors that the wives and girlfriends found very interesting including this one that belonged to a woman who raised her own sheep, sheared them wove and died the wool and then made the things you see hanging in the booth. My wife had her eye on a 115.00 shawl but decided it needed more care than she wanted to contend with. Slick little F100 slid in late Link to the the album with the rest of the photos but it might be scary for some of the hard core guys http://s173.photobucket.com/user/mr48chev/library/2016 CONCOURS DE MARYHILL?sort=2&page=1
