Classics At the Shrine Car Show

 

The Syrian Shrine hosted their annual fund raiser cars show recently and saw around 50 vehicles fill up their parking lot and spill out onto the lawn. Among those were some absolutely classic automobiles including a third generation or C3 Chevrolet Corvette, a first-generation Ford Mustang, a Pontiac Le Mans Sport convertible, an early V8 sporting Ford 100 pickup truck, a Jeep CJ-7, and a Pontiac GTO convertible. Classics every one.

Weather Didn't Ruin the Shrine Car Show

 

The threat of rain and bad weather can often cause car owners to keep their prizes in the garage and not attend a car event. Though it was very hot and humid in the morning with the predicted threat of rain in the afternoon, about 50 cars and trucks showed up for the annual Syrian Shrine Car Show. And while the rain didn't come until much later, the heat and humidity managed to stick around. Still, some cool cars were on hand including a 1960 Triumph TR3 A, a Chevrolet Camaro Z28, a 1955 Chevy 210, a Chevy 1500 pickup truck, a Chevy HHR, and a Chevy Corvette. 

Helping to Raise Funds to Support the Work of the Shriners

 

The Syrian Shrine holds an annual car show in order to raise funds to help support their philanthropic work, primarily the support of the regional Shriner's Children's Hospital. While the main tenants of the Shrine are fun and fraternity, giving back to the community is their main goal. For this year's car show about 50 cars and trucks filled their lot and spilled over onto the grass. Among them was a C 6 Chevrolet Corvette, a 1967 C 2 Vette, a 1966 Ford Mustang, a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, another first-generation Ford Mustang, a 2004 Pontiac Trans Am, and a 1949 Ford Tudor. 

A Nice Variety at the Syrian Shrine Car Show

 

With around 50 vehicles filling the lot and spilling over into the grass of the Syrian Shrine for their annual car show, there turned out to be a fairly nice variety of cars and trucks. There was a first-generation Ford Mustang, a 1981 Jeep CJ 7, a 1965 Copo Chevrolet Corvette, a 1972 Chevy Chevelle, a 1956 Ford Fairlane, a quite rare 1958 Chevy Yoeman station wagon, and a well-worn Ford pickup truck. 

New and Old at the Annual Syrian Shrine Car Show

Among the 50 or so vehicles at the recent Annual Syrian Shrine Car Show, there were both new and old cars. For example, there was a very recent Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, a 2015 Cadillac CTS, a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle, a 1957 Chevy 3100 pickup truck, a 1932 Chevy coupe, a 1955 Chevy Bel Air, and a 1968 Shelby GT-350.

The Annual Syrian Shrine Car Show

The Syrian Shrine organization held their annual car show. This event is a fund raiser to help support all of the work the Shrine chapter does throughout the year. With unseasonably warm weather and the call for possible rain later in the day, about 50 vehicles rolled out for the show. Among them was a first-generation Chevrolet Camaro, a Chevy Corvette, a Ford Mustang, a 1957 Chevy Bel Air, a 1966 Plymouth Barracuda, an 11th generation Ford Thunderbird, and a Polaris Slingshot. 

 

Wrapping Up the All GM Show for Now

In order to try to stay somewhat on track with the car shows this season, today will be the last post from the All-GM Car Show for a while. There will be more to come later, either because of rain outs or once the season ends. For today we have a Chevrolet Nova Super Sport, a 1972 Monte Carlo, a 1984 Chevy Chevette, an Impala, a Chevy II, a Nova, and a Chevy cargo van.
