Here's a slideshow link of the pics I took today. The eyes weren't cooperating so I didn't take as many as I would have liked to. Lucky is the man in the black derby hat with the two refugees beside him. Pic #13
Fairlane performed real good and I was very pleased. :toocool:

Nice! Thanks
Great selection of pics there Em! Thanks for sharing them.
Hey, thanks for the pics Em!!! Quite a variety of cars there! I like to say "to each his own" but I was particularly "intrigued" by the lavender '37 Ford (pic 20) with the white vinyl top and elaborate graphics....:eek::eek: :LOL: Let's just say mine probably won't look like that!:D But, at least his runs....where as mine is still in pieces in my garage!!!:HMMM:
Dang Randy, if I'd thought of it, I would have gotten you all 4 profiles :LOL:
WOW! First one out of the box 64 Impala Sports Coupe. I bought one new in 64 Amber Red. Kept it 35 years Don't know what I was thinking selling it.
I like the special, and there was a unique ute vehicle(photo #16/43) that might have been a chevy or holden? very cool!
Great show, thanks for the pics Em!!!
I looked at that and thought: "Mopar."Quote:

I don't recall them making a ute though but . . .
And if it is how on earth did it find its way (in that guise) to the States?
There's got to be a story there Em; do you know anything about it?
Thanks for the pics, Em. A lot of cools cars at that show. I didn't see yours in the slides. Is it in one? I'll go look again.
I'm thinking it's an old '56 Dodge 4-door that someone cut the mid-section out of......looks kinda silly to me! :LOL::LOL:Quote:

Nick, I personally didn't take any of the Fairlane but my oldest son might have and, if he did, I'll post his pics later.Quote:

Don't tell anyone but I actually typed Coronet first and then changed it to Comet - - - I need MORE COFFEE NOW !Quote:

Even to the comment of it looking silly.
(But that's not our business . . . the owner/builder obviously likes it, and really, that's all that matters.
It's one man's interpretation of his vision/dream that makes hot-rodding what it is.)

Personally, I question whether this particular Dodge ever deserved definitions 1 thru 4, but with the "modifications" shown in your pics, it rapidly moved towards definition #5 or perhaps more rearward on the animal.....:eek:
As for your "insufficiently-coffeed" attempt to rename it as a Comet, maybe your Mercury is just in retro-degrade or maybe you just subconsciously wanted to apply some of the like-named cleanser to it in hopes it would lengthen or just go away.....:LOL::LOL:
I TOTALLY AGREE, Johnboy, but along with his right to build it comes our right to have an opinion about it! At the end of the day, I suppose no one really gives a rat's arse about either but it makes for some fun conversation as long as nobody gets their panties in a wad.....:LOL::LOL:Quote:

Em, I was just joking around about the name "Coronet", what it means and what the people at Dodge may or may not have been thinking when they named the car.......those silly word games I like to play.....:HMMM::whacked::LOL:Quote:
