Last car show of the season

[takncarabizniz]

Decent weather (cold this morning, but there were enough sunbreaks between showers that we didn't freeze to death)...and I got to try out my new camera.  Went with a Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS60, because it is so close to the Lumix I have had at least 10 years and really love...I used a highly stylized setting for my photos today...they turned out incredible, like pieces of art...
This truck was my pick of the day...I am a Ford girl all the way!




So many cool rides, it was hard to pick a few to post...
This is called a ZAR car, it's a 1959 concept

I like them except for the concept things...love the pickup the most.

[takncarabizniz]

Thank you.  The concept car is something straight out of The Jetsons! Zar Car is was a Canadian company that built something like 3 concepts with the intention of putting them into production...it never made the leap.  So far only 2 have actually been discovered, the 1959 and the 1960.

Has your husband ever worked on the old ford 4 wheel drive he got in Montana? 
Looks like you've been so busy landscaping etc to get to work on it.

[takncarabizniz]

Oh, he works on it all the time.  It's pretty mechanically sound now and we've got a temporary bed rebuilt in the back.  It was at the show yesterday as well.  In fact, this photo was taken by someone as people were leaving...this little kiddie car was being raced up and down the street...LOL

We have had such fun educating people on the rarity of Marmon Herrington all wheel drives...and people love the natural look that this old beast has.  The hubby really enjoys sharing.

Great hobby to have.

Great pics takn, and so colorful.  Hubby has a Panasonic Lumix FZ 2500 (among others).  It's his main hobby now instead of restoring old cars.  He photographs them instead, lol.  Looks like a great car show.

One of our favorites.  There were at least 300 cars this year, despite the threatening weather.  Much nicer at this show with just one short shower and cool temperatures, and we got to drive the truck there as we're only about 30 minutes away

much different at the show last month...it rained the whole day, downpours most of the time, and we had to trailer the truck there so we were soaking wet by the time we got loaded back up and on the road again...

Thanks Take!  I was wondering, as I don't spend a lot of time here any more, when you mentioned a car show it was the first thing that came to mind.
It is a real rarity.  Among hundreds of old pickups.
