It was good to spend some time with them.
On Saturday, as we were driving to the Growers' Market we noticed the Main Street was closed off and there were cars on display. After we had done all our chores we returned to town. It turned out that the four main streets were closed off. It was a show of hot rods, saloon cars and motor bikes and there were people everywhere. The weather was great and there were several bands playing.
I had expected just a few cars but by the time we had walked around the whole area it was getting a bit late to go home and prepare lunch so we went to the Cafe de Paris again where I had my usual buckwheat galette and Doug had a delicious looking Burgundy Beef pie with chips and salad.
Just a few of the cars on display.
Woe, what a great display. I wonder if the bright orange one was an Essex? My Dad had one, and it was so roomy, and also had the running board. All polished and restored to their true beauty.
ReplyDeleteCould well be. I loved all the bright colours and all beautifully restored.
Deleteah yes the car show. My oldest took his car to that and won a prize apparently.
ReplyDeleteWell done to him. We didn't see the prize giving or the rock 'n roll but enjoyed ourselves anyway.
DeleteWhat a wonderful show of cars. Nice day!
ReplyDeleteIt was a wonderful show and a great crowd.
DeleteI love all those what could be called 'muscle cars' from decades past. The '56 Chevy is a perennial fave. I think I spied an old Mustang ca. late 1960s in the mix as well. I dig those cars.
ReplyDeleteI am not really a car person but I still enjoyed it.
