Tucson AZ - St. Gregory's Show, Oct 27, 2007

[HOTRODPAINT]

Boy!...... That felt good! Tucson has been without a large car show for several years. Lots of small weekend events, but no venue for a large gathering, until the local Rotary Club put this large and well organized event together. This is the first year for it, and the weather cooperated with temps in the 80's, and sunshine. Except for some traffic problems, partly due to construction, It seemed well organized.

What's your pleasure?...even the odd cars were represented. Along with the Ferraris, Porsches, and E-types, were the Corvairs, Hudsons, and early Commercial trucks. The entries were limited to 500, and it was a nice selection of rods, customs, antiques, muscle cars, pony cars, classics, Imports, rats, sports cars, & exotics. Even the parking lots were sprinkled with some very interesting cars!

There was a raffle for a black '95 'Vette or $10K, (I'm waiting for the call now) :-) and a live band! You could buy a T-shirt, or something to eat or drink. Local charities will benefit, also.

Here are a couple dozen shots of things that appealed to me.

....and these....

A note about the Corvette Nomad. The story was that the guy who built the original Motorama car for Gm (which was destroyed in '55) also did this car...sacrificing a real '54 Vette, and '55 Nomad, to build it!

....not to exclude these.....

The top woody is about a '48 Chevy, the second is a Mercury, about '42, and the last car is a '25 Dodge sedan.

The top two shots are a Rolls Royce, the bottom one, a blown "flatmotor".
