Wow... blue charger.. wow.. wow haha.

Awesome photos..

The city of Oberlin, home of Oberlin College (best school in the Midwest, Best Conservatory) Tappan Square, The Feve, the memories!

I enjoy car shows, especially when there are some big ol' classics. I've been a sucker for those since I was a whippersnapper. :-D

 

I would love to drive that car, Rob. It must feel like a boat.

I never got the chance. I was about 13 years old when that photo was taken. It was my aunt's, a 1947 Lincoln Continental with a V-12 flathead engine. It had a 3-speed manual transmission with Borg-Warner overdrive, with the shift lever on the steering column. As I recall, it was a very roadworthy car with a quiet, smooth-but-firm ride. My aunt was a fast driver on the open road when there was no traffic (100mph +), and she always liked it.

 

I'm lovin' the Buick station wagon in this photo. It looks like an authentic historical restoration. Most likely it would have had an 8-cylinder in-line OHV engine.

I'm thinking it's a '49 or '50. I remember a bunch of Chevy station wagons in that body style, and remember riding with Dad when he took one for a test drive. I don't remember ever seeing a Buick like that, though.

I love local classic car shows.  Where I live we have Friday night cruise-ins and they are a lot of fun.  Some of the detail involved in restorations is absolutely amazing.  My favorite show is the Mopar Muscle show and a a couple weeks ago a guy had a 1969 Dodge Daytona... probably worth over 100 grand.
