    Oct 5th Caro Mi Pumpkin fest it appears will be our last car show of 2019. Yes there are a few others here and there till the end of Oct. Those are considered Trunk in Treat car shows where you have candy in a bucket, basket or other device and had it out to the kids during The show.


    A friend who in on the planing board of such a show said that if you attend to bring about 7000 pieces of candy to hand out from answers to questions from previous years.

    OH great all I want it a bunch of poorly parented sugar crazed kids running around the car.


    We had taken the Buick to Kare’s moms house because we feared our gravel road would be a quagmire Saturday morning, Mom’s house is on a paved road.

    There we had to go west 14 miles and then back east to start out.




    We had a Packard convertible as a neighbor.

    Our other neighbor is a past neighbor with a 63 willy’s jeep pick up.

    [​IMG]


    This unfinished project Pontiac was having electrical issues when it came time to leave. It had to be towed.

    [​IMG]


    The picture doesn’t do justice to this pick up as the roof is a light pastel green. They were with the Packard and Pontiac group.

    [​IMG]


    A Mercury Bob Cat same as a Ford Pinto. Co owned by a class mate of our friend Dan with the 65 Buick GS.

    A nice stock appearing street rod.

    Nice street rod, but most are

    [​IMG]


    A great looking Ford PU.

    [​IMG]


    This 69 Buick Wild cat would make some one a nice car once they got rid of all the flat black.[​IMG]

    I have had a hard time with this one. Never see Cadillacs this old and so resembles a 50’s Chevy Deluxe. Fellow who owns it also owns a salvage yard.

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]



    School mate and Neighbor had a 1965 Mercury Comet. I loved the car my self, brother salvaged many engine parts after he totaled it.

    [​IMG]


    Nice GMC pickup. All I have to say on this one. My dad had a 1979 454 4 speed one ton. That truck played with our 11’ camper and the boat and loads when we went fishing in Canada.

    [​IMG]


    Tried to get the guy that painted this Plymouth 3 years ago to do ours.

    [​IMG]


    The owner of this Plymouth also owns a 1970 GTX Plymouth. Nice fellow.

    The Indian goes every where with this truck.

    [​IMG]


    This beautiful Cuda was painted 28 years ago. It and the owner Jim is responsible for the guy painting our Buick for us.

    I would love to own this car.

    [​IMG]


    Another nice Plymouth Duster. Seems this Body style out sold Dodge or is more collected/restored.

    [​IMG]



    A Pontiac LeMans, a bunch of these have been changed to GTO’s but if you read the vin plate and know the codes you can tell the differences.

    [​IMG]


    No this is not a Chevy Nova, It is a Pontiac Ventura, there was also Buick and Old’s version.

    [​IMG]

    I know it isn’t a car/truck but though ya all might like to see the rocking bike.

    [​IMG]


    Another street rod. I some times wonder how many times one has been changed.

    [​IMG]


    This street rod missed not having rear fenders. There was a light coating of mud up the sides.

    [​IMG]


    Had fun with the owner of this PU and the Perefect next to it. He has a 3 inch foam covered pad in the bed. Asked if he took a nap in it he said yes, his partner said the spare would make a hard pillow. He Said there was no air in it. What if you have a flat? I have a can of air behind the seat.

    [​IMG]


    4 door Anglias are Perefect models. Also one of the best in snows.

    OK the last bunch of pictures.


    At noon I asked how many they had sign up and they said 121, I believe all total they got about 130 signed up.


    A Boat or if you will a heavy cruiser.

    [​IMG]


    This is a Austin, very small and USA built I was told.

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]



    Just one of the many drag cars there. 2 more funny cars, and 3 or 4 rails. I didn’t stay in the area because they took turns firing them up and I didn’t have ear protection.

    The second best in show truck pulling a ham can. Ham cans are starting to get popular.[​IMG]
