Spent the day cleaning the other cars for the upcoming Portland Roadster Show as we finally had a small dry weather break.

Looks like 57 Chrysler headlights and 56 Fairlane park lamps.

Probably, I've been going to show every year since I was baby, lol. My whole family has been involved in various functions for the Council that puts the show on.
Here is photos of his truck that was in the show

I saw a GM SBC aluminum intake but held on to my wallet. He wanted $350, said he'd take $325. If I really wanted it I'd have made an offer. Mostly went to meet up with a friend/fellow member, Jack_71c10, from here I hadn't seen in a while. It was really just a place to walk along and talk. Neither of us really needed anything


Too bad we're not neighbors. I'd let you borrow a walkboard to make things easier. I have an 18', 20', 24', 30' and two that expand, 8'-14' and 10'-17'

EDIT: A few pictures added from the swap meet. Comet was $4,500, '46 Buick was $5k. My dad had a black '49 Torpedoback. I'd love to get one

Be nice to have one of those bugz again.

Maybe one like in that pic.... but not like the '62 I owned in 1967. The best thing about that car was replacing it with my first new car, a '68 Camaro RS.

Talk about luxury, that Camaro actually had a functioning heater & defroster! :chevy:

Here is the answer. Nope. But it is good. I got a bottle. 10 bucks worth. Nothing hit me in the back, like my change, as I was going out the door.

I don’t eat much at Cracker Barrel always thought they had 100% pure maple syrup . I wouldn’t put that on anything .

Actually found they used to use Pure Maple Syrup now it’s Pure Natural Syrup so it’s a mix with 45% added sugar. The one on the right is the little bottle I remember

Ain't that the truth. Boy, first car I got with a fan switch was pure luxury and so was driving without gloves on. Then there was this device called a defroster. I learned you only need an ice scraper on the outside when you first start the car in the morning. In fact, if you go back inside and wait a while the car does it all by itself! VW, a car made to go great in the snow. How confusing is that when you'd think it was made for the tropics

Yeah. Got some snow drift clearance happening now.

I bought new tires and wheels for the 95 Burb. Now it might make it through the snow and go to the cabin.

This Bug was parked outside. Looks about the same color my '56 was, Mercedes Blue. This one is a '58-'61. I wish mine was a ragtop sunroof. I let mine go because that's what I wished mine was.
