Sunday September 25th, 2016, it's now autumn and it's also a gorgeous day for a car show. Eisenhower Park is a terrific venue, with plenty of space and parking. I try to work out a system for covering a large expanse. I start at one side and zig-zag the aisles from back to front, so I end up near where I started. The Tumbler from the second iteration of the Batman series was something I haven't yet seen in real life.

It really weirds-me-out that the Back To The Future series was so long ago. Here's the noteworthy DeLorean.

An imitation of the Mad Max interceptor.Taking photos at a car show is often difficult because I cannot ask the owner to adjust the car to get the best angle, the contrast here isn't good to do the car justice.

I always liked Bucket-T hot rods, and this is a prime example of why.
|
5
This should give a rough idea of how many cars there are to view.

Woodies are a rare treasure, due to the tendency of the wood to suffer from the rigors of time and weather.

This one is as gorgeous on the inside as well as the out.

A super nice engine bay.

I was never enamored with Novas, simply because they are so plain looking. But they are small, light and have large engine compartments, so you can stuff a lot of power under the hood and make the most of it.

From an engineering point of view, The Vette is a marvel. I don't like them as a mobile electronics installer, because they are difficult and uncomfortable to work on. This guy took his to the next level.

The Dodge Dart has the same traits as the Nova, the ability to cram a big engine into a small package. I find them more aesthetically pleasing than the early Novas.

This guy decided to make his DeLorean an electric car. He even tricked it out with some L.E.Ds around the headlights.

My family had a '68 Dodge Coronet, but ours was a four door and sported a 225 c.i slant six. This is what I would have preferred. The Plymouth Road Runner and GTX were built on the same platform.

I like the way this guy fabbed up a cold air induction system on his ride.
| 
16
This is the more attractive version of the Nova. The Pontiac Ventura and an Oldsmobile, whose name escapes me, had similar models built on the same chassis design.

17
Hard to tell in this photo, but this sled had some serious body mods on it.
| 
18
I believe that this is a factory air conditioner option from a different model, added to this car. In a way the awkwardness is appealing.

I also have a weak spot for trucks.

High back bucket seats are generally frowned upon by customizers, but I prefer them over low backs, for their safety and comfort.

Chrome is a symbol of the times, but I think this design makes the truck look nose heavy.
|

Barracudas of all generations were cool, I'm glad the Chrysler boys decided to bring them back.
|

For people on a budget, the dune buggy was a great way to get into motoring. Based on Volkswagen chassis, they were inexpensive to build and fun to drive.

I like the color choice on this Model T. I don't like the wide whitewall tires, they make the cars look cartoonish.
