22 September 2024 Old Iron

I spotted this while on my way home from my office. This old hot rod was likely on its way to an late season cruise.

8 June 2024 Car Show Time

It seemed like Pontiac night at an annual local car show. An early spotting of a 65 GTO was a great way to get the visit started.

They called them "wide-track." They were just wide highway cruisers.

A well-loved Ford...

This Honda K car was by far the smallest of the event. It made our miata look huge.

Meep... Meep

10 June 2023 Car Cruise Night

If we are in town, we always stop by this annual show.  Some of the cars are there every year, but there's always a few that stand out.  An early right-hand drive, Austin Mini in rally gear was the first to catch my eye.

A vintage Seagrave engine was on-hand for the evening.  Seeing these makes one wonder how many fires were actually put out.

This 60's Barracuda looks quite diminutive next to a Grand Cherokee.

Falcons were a utility car.  They were cheap and often passed along to youth.

This Nissan Pao is rare in the states.  I see it very occasionally.

This likely was a family sedan, but it shouts law enforcement vehicle.  It was a different time when mirrors were attached to the front fenders.  Note the rear-view mirror is attached to the dash and not at the top of the windshield.

A true woody was on display.  Note the location of the side mirror.

8 August 2022 Lockport Car Show

The Lockport Car Show always gets a visit from me if I am in town during the summer on show night.  The size of the show has slimmed down likely from the aging out of owners, but the quality of cars is first rate.

11 June 2022 Cruise Night

I still enjoy seeing these old dinosaurs.  It had been a rainy afternoon, but the rain held off long enough for a visit. 

The owner of this Corvair was happy to talk for a bit.  It was a fun time hearing the history of this beauty.

17 June 2019 Lockport Car Show

I was in Lockport for a business visit.  This used to be a frequent stop for me, but much less often these days.  Since I was here on a Monday, I drove into town to see if Mondays were still the night for the local car show.  I was in luck!  Besides the car show, some of the same food options were there for dinner.  The food was a great memory and the cars were great.

Not many car shows include a Rover.

There's a lot of old school here, much more than the Mayfield show.

8 June 2019 Mayfield Cruise

Yes, I have a thing for cars.  We were available to visit the nearby cruise on a pleasant Saturday evening.  It was time to wash and polish our baby for a cruise.  We're almost at that time where the Miata can take a loop or two on the Cruise.

The Mayfield Cruise is a relaxed event allowing cars from multiple generations to be displayed.  This Honda Fit had its own vibe.

The local Chrysler dealership was able to convince a couple local owners of a Superbird and a Road Runner to display in their parking lot.  I don't think I've ever been that close to the winged legend.

Nissan Pao's are rare everywhere.  They are almost never seen in northeast Ohio.

Fins!

A very rare Kaiser Darren sits in one of the parking lots.  It eventually made its way out for a bit of cruising.

Cruise time...  I expect they have owned this Pinto since it was new.
