Pictures of this weekend's car show

Took a few shots of some trucks this morning at a local hot rod show they're holding at the fairgrounds. Only a couple old ford trucks, but there were some nice old hot rods there.





An old chevy, dodge and a studebaker truck.







And a few custom T-buckets and model A rods

Wow! No junkers there! What is the 4th one down, a Dodge?

I like the little dog in the 5th pic, much better than the usual cabbage-patch dolls!

Very nice pictures, thanks for sharing. Is that grille on the studebaker original and the bumper looks like it's from a 80's chevy pickup.

Nice looking stuff. Always fun to see them in one place. Even with the Chevy motor!

Ranchero or El Camino is on my list of vehicles to own one day. Not that I would mind anything at that car show. Thanks for sharing.

1957 Ranchero


1956 F100


1934 Chevrolet


1936 Dodge / Blue Hearse to the right is a 1948/49 Packard Custom 8, body by Henney


1957/59 Studebaker 4R7 Transtar


Deuce Model 18 (V8) Roadster


"Little Deuce Coupe"
Thanks for posting the pictures!

The Dodge looks very similar to its Plymouth 'cousin.' Dodge also offered a Sedan Delivery in 1936.

1949/59 Studebaker pickups are essentially the same, the major difference is the 'grafted-on' 1957/59 fibreglass snout. Edit: The bumper isn't correct.

Thru 1954, Packard "owned" the Hearse & Ambulance market. More Packard's were sold than all the other makes combined.

Removing the fenders and splash shields from the Deuce Roadster creates a Hi-Boy, so called because the body is riding high atop the frame rails.

Looks like a Beagle puppy, has longer legs and shorter ears than a Basset Hound.

If you want a dog that goes yip-yip-yip 24/7, get a Beagle.

If you want a dog that is sweet but stubborn-difficult to train, slobbers 24/7, get a Basset...also well known for howling.

Y'all may guess why I know Basset Hound traits...and you're right, have 4.

A quartet of howling, eh, Bill? Do they harmonize?

I for one, don't understand the cabbage patch doll thing.

If there's more pics, may I suggest to post'em up? These are pretty clear and crisp. (at least on my monitor)

All I can figure on the cabbage patch thing is that it's something for the wife to do for the show.

Yeah, more pics!
