A computer genius relative of mine salvaged my pictures off an old broken computer for me so I have an era of pictures I haven't seen in a decade or so.

I thought I would share my vacation pictures from 2007 - but only the interesting transportation related ones.
​Hope you enjoy them.

What's Old October 2021

Recent History is still History and Flamboro was a great event.

Here are a couple of pictures from the car show and swap meet.

Back into the old photo album for some more memories.

here is  Tom with our 55 at the first show we ever took it to in 1982.




























Our first dash plaque as a participant.



​

Kim's El camino - memory test - I think at the Amherstburg car show.

Bright Green Ford truck.

Our 63 Riviera somewhere many years ago. 

I just got an email from Studebaker International inviting me to the 57th Annual Meet in September and it got me to thinking.
There are lots of Specialized Car Shows - All Chevy, National Nova Meet,  Mopar Nationals, Tri - Five, Merc-Deuce, Mustangs etc.
These shows are really cool to attend if you are building or looking for one of these makes because it is one stop shopping. 
Anyway I dug out the old scrapbook for a look back at the 55-57 Chevrolet Show in Orlando Florida in 1984.

Remember when the best Car Shows were overnight camp outs.
Here are some pictures from the past where camping was part of the fun.

Barrie Fall Swap meet back at Molson Park a very long time ago

 

DASH PLAQUES BRING BACK MEMORIES. Remember When Windsor Area held their show in Harrow?

The early Dorchester shows were Legendary.
​
Last Chance Campout was always a good time - I loved the Fairgrounds and the Hospitality

keeping with the performance theme I have pulled some old drag racing pictures from the photo album.

Holley posing in a junior dragster at Grand Bend - I think that's when she got the fever.

Cool old truck passing out goodies between races at Grand Bend

More pictures from the scrapbook. I seem to have taken a renewed interest in Buicks, Pontiacs and 55-57 Chevrolets. I wonder why?

Nice 39 Buick sedan

66-67 GTO

Mid 60's Pontiac wagon

Flamed 55 2 door post and 57 Nomad

What's Old April 2021
Buicks, Cadillacs, Pontiacs and Oldsmobiles don't seem to get the same coverage as Chevrolets do.
Here are some pictures from the old Photo Albums.

beautiful Cutlass, mid 50s Oldsmobile 2 door hardtop Custom, 38 Pontiac sedan, 49 Cadillac fastback and 50 Buick Hardtop. 
I just noticed how many pictures are from Seacliffe Park - 4 out of 5 - 5th one from Columbus I think -should have labelled all these years ago.

Michelle and I have been at our current location for 36 years now.
​Here are a few pictures of how our yard and collection have changed.

1986 in the original cinder block building sitting on the frame for the 56 Sedan Delivery.

1947 Chevrolet coupe we bought for parts for the 1947 sedan delivery below in front of the old cinder block shop

1947 Sedan delivery , front end of the 37 Buick and our 55 Bel Air in the back ground.

1955 Nomad with Holley in front of the "new barn" [then]which we finished just after Holley was born. With this addition we went from 600 square feet to 1500 square feet.

here is the first of several g body el caminos that we have owned in the greenhouse we built for storage - added 1600 square feet.

1956 Mercury truck, 55 Chevrolet truck cab, some square body doors and the cube van box we had for more storage.

Last summer with the newest barn and the yard full of rolling treasures.
thanks for letting me get nostalgic, Dave March 13 2021.

Our good friend Chippy had a milestone birthday so Michelle dug into the old photo albums and found some good pictures. She also found some more car/ car show pictures. Here are a few

Here is "Nadine" and a Kustom chopped Ford

A chopped and dropped 67 Impala Fastback

Overhead shot of a 60 Impala Custom I always thought had "the look"

Full custom 63-67 Vette
