Simsbury CT Car Show Today

Lots of great vehicles at today's local show. All Fords below. Disregard any other make in the background. They don't count.

(ok ok so there's a Chevy ton-and-a-half in there. I couldn't help it. The veggie stand idea was really clever)

Yeah, I noticed that, except for the wide whites, chrome bumper, and side spare. Nice looking truck!

I too like that Chevy produce truck.

Weather was amazing. 80 and low humidity. Very comfortable. Last year there were maybe 1/4 of the cats due to the risk of rain. Not today!

Nice cars, and a cool mix of cars. Even a Ford GT 40 - wow
I like that farm truck, the owner has an eye for details! Just out of curiosity: how much was that '56 on the first picture?

I didn't notice that the first time I looked at this thread. They flow from the F100 emblem on the hood.

Thanks Calvin, back on my computers bigger monitor I was able to see the price on the for sale-sign. The display on the mobile phone was way to small for that . That chrome-elements on the doors look nice.

That doesn't seem bad as it looks like it is a really well done truck.
Simsbury is only a couple hour away! Used to go to Cromwell each year for a regional Falcon nationals.
