10 June 2017 Mayfield Cruise

It was cruise night in Mayfield and the weather was perfect. I was happy at the thought of seeing the old cars, but first there were chores followed by a walk along the Chagrin River.

We spotted a heron in flight

and maybe some of its recent meals.

Lizzie is her own dog. She enjoys just standing in water.

This snake was still digesting a prior meal and not moving very quickly.

Since the weather was perfect and evening was cruise time, I took time to clean and detail the miata. She didn't participate in the cruise, but was the perfect car for us to ride there.

It was a perfect evening for convertibles.


Especially Impala convertibles

This gorgeous 62 Catalina sported the rare eight lug wheels.

There were two of my favorite fastback oldies here with a Torino GT sporting a California black plate and a American Motors Marlin.

Thus 63 Chrysler 300 was done up as an old school muscle car.

It has been a long time since Ralph Nader wrongly concluded Corvairs were unsafe at any speed. This one is was a nice example of a first generation car that in many ways was far ahead of the rest of the crowd. Today, they are still a fun, inexpensive classic ride that looks great on cruise night.

I don't think many VW bus engines looked this good any time after the first few days on the road.

The evening even included an appearance by the Euclid Beach Rocket Car.
