Wrapping Up the Show in Blue Ash for Now

 

As regular followers of this blog know, I will wrap up coverage of a show before I have posted all of my photos so that I can move on to another event. So today is the last post from the 19th City of Blue Ash and the Untouchables Classic Car Show. As usual, feel free to let me know what you thought of this show by either leaving a message (no ads, please, they just get deleted) or by dropping me an email at turnerbudds@yahoo.com. For today's post we have a fifth-generation Chevrolet Corvette, a 1957 Chevy Bel Air, a C6 Vette, a 1963 Pontiac Catalina, a Chevy Caprice, a C7 Corvette, and a custom Chevy Camaro. 

A Buch of GM Cars Came to Blue Ash, and One MoPar

 

The 19th City of Blue Ash and the Untouchables Classic Car Show featured a large selection of cars from General Motors. While most were, as could be expected, from Chevrolet, a defunct brand was on hand and, oh yeah, one noob from MoPar. Among the cars on display was a 1968 Chevy Impala, a Chevy Monte Carlo, a Dodge Charger SRT, a C3 Corvette, a C5 Vette, a 1965 Pontiac Bonneville, and a custom Chevy Caprice.

Some Serious Power in Blue Ash

 

When many people hear the name Shelby they think of the famous Cobra, but Carroll Shelby added a lot more serious power to other vehicles as well. His work with Ford is legendary and the Mustangs that came out of the Shelby American in Venice, California (they later moved to a hanger at LAX), had some serious power. Initially Shelby took a standard Mustang and modified a Windser 289 cubic inch V8 engine. The car was dubbed the Shelby GT350 and rolled out in 1965. In 1967 he dropped a tuned 428 cubic inch Police Interceptor V8 into a Mustang and it became a Shelby GT500. Each of these machines were represented at this year's City of Blue Ash and The Untouchables Classic Car Show. Also on display was a Buick Wildcat convertible, a Chevrolet Impala, a Chevy El Camino, a Porsche Panamera, and a C4 Chevy Corvette.

A True Classic and Some Foreigners Rolled into Blue Ash

 

A show such as the City of Blue Ash and the Untouchables Classic Car Show, because of its reputation, always attracts a great group of automobiles. This year's event saw an absolute American classic as well as a number of foreign automobiles. The true American classic was a 1959 Cadillac Series 62 convertible. Among the foreign imports was a fairly new Jaguar F-Type, a classic Jaguar E-Type, a Lotus Elan S 2, a pair of Triumph TR-6 models, and an Alfa Romeo Guilia Sprint GT. 

A Wild Mix of Cars in Blue Ash

 

The 16th Annual City of Blue Ash and the Untouchables Classic Car Show saw over 70 cars and trucks roll into Oakwood Park for the event. It was a wild mix of typical and not so typical vehicles. Among them was a Volkswagen Type 1 better known as the Beetle, a very rare 1939 Cadillac which is one of only 250 ever made with a sunroof, a 1931 Ford Model A sedan, a Plymouth Prowler, a 1967 Pontiac GTO, a Chevrolet Camaro, and a 1950 Ford pickup truck.

The Untouchables Show Offers Come Great Perks

The Untouchables Classic Car Club each year teams up with the City of Blue Ash to host a classic car show at Oakwood Park's Hazelwood Community Center. This show offers up a number of great perks to those attending. Not only is the park a great venue with plenty of grass and trees to offer shade and help keep everyone somewhat cool on a hot, humid summer day, but there are also free food (for donations) and great music featuring fantastic R&B hits from the 60s and 70s. Among the over 70 vehicles on hand this year included a sixth-generation Chevrolet Corvette, a beautiful second-generation or C2 Vette convertible, a 1981 Jeep CJ 7, a C 6 Chevy Corvette, a new Chevy Camaro, a 1967 Camaro Super Sport, and a pair of Ford Falcons. 

Nice Variety at the Untouchables Show

 

The City of Blue Ash and the Untouchables Classic Car Show always brings in a nice selection of automobiles. Sure, there are the "usual" suspects but there is always a nice variety in the vehicles that roll into Oakwook Park. This year's 19th installment saw a 1954 Chevrolet Bel Air, a 2007 Ford Mustang, a Ford Fairlane, a 1967 Mustang, a C 7 Chevy Corvette, a 1961 Studebaker Hawk, a Ford F 150 Lightening pickup truck, and a Chevy Biscayne.
