Good Weather Boosts Super 60s Turnout

The Super 60s Car Show was the benefit of some really nice spring weather as temperatures hovered in the upper 70s under mostly clear skies. This brought out about 100 great vehicles to the event. Among them was a beautiful 1951 Chevy De Luxe, a  C3 Corvette, a Biscayne with a nice patina, and a pair of second generation Vettes.

 

There Were Some Rarely Seen Cars At the Super 60s Car Show

Drawing nearly 100 vehicles, the Super 60s Car Show is far from being one of the area's larger events. While the show manages to attract many of the usual car show staples it also sees a number of rarely seen cars show up. For example, here is a mint condition 1936 Ford Roadster, a 1989 Chrysler TC by Maserati (this was Chrysler's answer to such cars as the Buick Riatta and the Cadillac Allante; it was built on a modified Dodge Daytona frame but had only a four cylinder 2.2 liter turbo engine but sported plenty of luxury touches such as hand sewn leather seats and in 1989 cost a whopping $89,000), a 1969 Pontiac Grand Prix, an Imperial (when Imperial was its own luxury marque sitting atop the Chrysler hierarchy), a 1986 Dodge Daytona Turbo Z, a 1986 Dodge Shelby Charger (yes, Carol Shelby worked with automakers other than Ford), a Chevy Corvette, a 1970 Chevelle, and a 1968 Plymouth Road Runner.

The Super 60s Car Show

The Dillonvale Shopping Center in Deer Park was the setting for the Super 60s Car Show. This is one of the more unique shows in the region. Just about 100 cars and trucks showed up but this show always seems to offer up a number of vehicles that you don't normally see along side the usual fair. On this occasion there was a 1963 Chevy Nova SS convertible, a '63 Nova SS hardtop, a Ford Mustang, a 1957 Bel Air, a 1937 Plymouth Business Coup, and an almost all original Studebaker Avanti that has the correct radio and the original plaque given to the first owner which was standard practice by Studebaker for anyone who bought their halo car.

 

 

More From the Mother's Day Show

A good crowd of both participants and spectators turned up for the 39th Annual Mother's Day Car Show sponsored by the Middletown chapter of the Antioch Shrine. The event raised money for the Shrine Hospitals throughout the country and drew in about 200 very cool vehicles. Among them was a rare 1930 Essex, a Chevy 10 pick up truck, a 1966 Chevelle convertible, a Corvette, an Impala, a 1983 Tahoe Blazer, and a Ford Mustang.

A Mother's Day Show To Raise Money For the Shrine Hospitals

 For the 39th year the Middletown chapter of the Antioch Shrine held their Mother's Day Car Show with proceeds going to the Shrine Hospitals around the country. On this beautiful Sunday nearly 200 cars and trucks were on hand to support this worthy cause. Among them was this late 1940s Chevy pick up truck, a 1955 Chevy Bel Air station wagon, a 2002 S-10 pick up truck dressed in a Marvin the Martian theme, a nice chopped street rod that started life as a Ford coup, a custom 1925 Ford Tudor, and a Ford F250 Custom pick up.

A Great Show For a Great Cause

 Regular followers of this blog are perhaps familiar with my discussions about the Shrine Hospitals. My father was a Shriner who helped create a unit of guys who drove the go carts in parades. Yes, that meant my brother and I had a cool Mustang bodied go cart at home. But beyond that my dad being in the Shrine also exposed us to the good work done at the Shrine Burn Institute in our city. So when I see a car show that is raising money for these hospitals I always try to support it. That is what the 39th Annual Mother's Day Car Show was doing, raising money to support the Shrine Hospitals across the country. Sponsored by the Middletown Chapter of the Antioch Shrine the show brought in around 200 vehicles all with the attitude of raising money for this charity. Among those on hand was a 1970 Dodge Charger, a Chevy 10 pickup, a Plymouth sedan, a Monte Carlo, an Impala, a well used Chevy 6500 flat bed, a restomod Ford pick up, and a 1951 Chevy 3100 truck.

There Was Great Weather For the Mother's Day Show

The weather was near perfect for the 39th Annual Mother's Day Car Show sponsored by the Middletown chapter of the Antioch Shrine. The event, as always, raised money for the Shrine Hospitals across the country. Small Park in Middletown was the setting and the event drew nearly 200 amazing vehicles including a GMC 1600 pick up truck, a Chevy truck, a 1957 Bel Air, a '55 Bel Air, a 1956 Nomad wagon, a restomod C3 Corvette, and a GMC 1500.
