Mid Week at the Family Fair

The car show that was part of the three day Family Fair weekend event brought in some very nice looking cars, including a Chevy Camaro, a not quite stock Ford Mustang, a 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T, a pair of Pontiac Firebirds, a 1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass, a Plymouth Gold Duster, and spectacular 1930 Ford Model A.

Grease Monkey Garage

The Grease Monkey Garage sponsored the 2nd Annual Family Fair, a three day event that featured events for the whole family. Part of the weekend festivities was a car show that attracted well over 60 vehicles including a 1938 Ford truck, a brand new Maserati Quatraport, customized 2 door Ford coupe, a Plymouth Prowler, a squad car from the Police Historical Museum, a fully original 1961 Chrysler Windsor, and a Ford Mustang.

Second Annual Family Fair

The 2nd Annual Family Fair was held under beautiful, clear blue skies with temperatures that belied the fact that there had been an recent unbearable heat wave. The event drew well in excess of 60 cars for the show that was a side line to the main, three day event that featured food and rides and all sorts of booths.

The show attracted an array of cars including this Mercedes Benz 560SL, a custom racing Camaro, a more stock version of the Chevy icon, a 1968 version of the car, a gorgeous two door Chevy hardtop, an Impala, an El Camino, an Oldsmobile Toronado, and a fantastic AMC AMX.

The End of the Week in Symmes Township

The first ever Symmes Township Firecracker Festival Car Show brought out a nice array of great cars. On the park grass were a Chevy Camaro, a couple different generations of Ford Mustang, a Corvette, a 1966 Pontiac GTO, and a rarely seen 1972 Ford Pinto.

A Great First Effort

The first ever Symmes Township Firecracker Festival Car Show could only be called a success. While the turnout wasn't huge with just around 70 cars, it was respectable for a very hot, humid holiday weekend. The variety was interesting as well. There was a sharp hot rod sitting next to relatively new offerings from Corvette, Mustang, and Scion. There was also an original 1965 Shelby Cobra sitting next to Mustang convertible and a 1981 Jeep CJ 7.

A Rookie Show With Star Power

Among them was a 1969 Super Bee, a few beautiful Camaros, a Ford Model TT truck, a C 3 Chevy Corvette, a GMC pick up, and a 1957 Bel Air.
