Show and Shine

The Annual Sharonville Classic Car Show is the unofficial opening of our car show season and is also when we are able to pick up our copies of the Show and Shine calendar (http://www.showandshinecalendar.com/). If you live in Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, or Tennessee, this is an indispensable piece of your car show package as it lists more collector car events than you could imagine.

In addition to the Show and Shine the Sharonville show also brings out a large number of great cars including a few Vettes, some Mustangs, a Mercury, a Viper, a Buick station wagon, a Pontiac Grand Am, and a VW Beetle that was used in the shooting of the motion picture Miles Ahead.

Season Opener

The Annual Sharonville Classic Car Show is generally considered the opening of our car show season. For that reason, even under the worst weather conditions, it generally brings out a lot of people who have been itching to show off their cars. This year, under beautiful blue skies with temperatures in the mid-70s, more than 450 cars rolled out to take part. Among them were a 1956 Bel Air, a Camaro SS, a GMC pick up, a Malibu, a 1937 Dodge, a Road Runner, a Ferrari Spyder, and a Pontiac Trans Am.

Muscle Car Showoff Fails

I saw this on line and thought I'd share it. It just goes to show that if you get behind the wheel of a car with that much power you sure as heck better be able to handle it.

Cars on the Historic Sharonville Loop

Like in years past, the 39th Annual Historic Sharonville Classic Car Show was held the Sunday before Mother's Day and to host all of the cars that come out, the show's sponsor, the Sharonville Chamber of Commerce, blocks off half of the city's main commercial district, the Sharonville Loop. This year, to accommodate the more than 400 cars they needed every inch as well as all of the parking lots that are set aside.

As stated yesterday, I'm posting the cars in the order I saw and photographed them and that means a lot of cars in the same class will show up. Today's selections include a piece of 1967 MoPar muscle, a few Barracudas, a Comet, a 1970 Duster Demon, a mid-50s Ford, a completely unrestored Studebaker, and a 1956 Bel Air.

39th Annual Sharonville Classic Car Show

This 39th Annual Sharonville Classic Car Show was held under absolutely perfect conditions yesterday. Well over 400 cars came out to see and be seen as blue dominated the sky and temperatures crept into the mid 70s. With so many cars and having all of this experience, the folks behind this show do a good job of organizing, putting similar makes and models together in their classes. So instead of breaking them down in individual groups, I'm going to be posting the cars in the order I saw and photographed them. What that means is you will be seeing a lot of cars from specific classes together but there may be times when I pick up cars from multiple classes.

The first cars I saw were from the MoPar class. There were some absolute beauties including a 1967 Barracuda, a 1969 Barracuda, a couple Charger RT, an absolutely gorgeous 1964 Chrysler Imperial Crown Coupe, a Dodge van, a 1968 Dodge, and a 1970 Plymouth among others.

Bonus Day From Cruise-A-Palooza

I normally don't post pictures I've taken during shows on the weekend but I want to get through the last of the pictures from the Criuse-A-Palooza show from last summer. For that reason here are a bunch of photos I took from that show that feature a lot of really great looking rides. There is a 1970 Corvette, a Charger, a Cadillac, a Falcon, an old Dodge, 1957 Chevy pick-up, a Mustang, a Camaro, and a 1971 Vette.
