Title: Moraga car show 2018
Post by: elagache on May 14, 2018, 11:13:44 AM

Dear mid-60s Buick owners who can't get enough classic car pics, . . . . .

A neighboring town has a small car show as part of a community fair.  In the past there was one Buick Rivera that was a regular, but this year not a single Buick in the show.   :crybaby2:

Still there were some nice examples of other GM vehicles of the 1960s.  Here is a 1969 Chevelle SS 396:

Alas, it had a modern Chevy engine instead of the original.  There was a venerable 1964 Corvair Spyder Coupe:

Here is a very well done pickup truck bed:

Here is another 1969 Chevelle SS 396:

However, this one not only has the original engine, but the engine bay is beautiful:

Here is the front view of the engine bay:

For spice here is a 1958 Nash Metropolitan:

In a similar vein as the Chevelle, there is a 1963 Impala SS with a very well done original engine bay:

(https://photos.smugmug.com/ClassicandCustomAutomobiles/Car-Shows/2018-Moraga-car-show/i-6xZ5pfs/0/6c27668c/XL/1963%20Impala%20SS%202-door%20sedan%20-%20port%20front-XL.jpg) (https://canebas.smugmug.com/ClassicandCustomAutomobiles/Car-Shows/2018-Moraga-car-show/i-6xZ5pfs/A)

Here is the passenger side of the car:

Here is one side of the engine bay:

(https://photos.smugmug.com/ClassicandCustomAutomobiles/Car-Shows/2018-Moraga-car-show/i-Vqj44G4/0/fcd47db5/XL/1963%20Impala%20SS%202-door%20sedan%20-%20engine%20port-XL.jpg) (https://canebas.smugmug.com/ClassicandCustomAutomobiles/Car-Shows/2018-Moraga-car-show/i-Vqj44G4/A)

The front of the engine bay:

Here is the passenger side of the engine:

(https://photos.smugmug.com/ClassicandCustomAutomobiles/Car-Shows/2018-Moraga-car-show/i-XWznRBX/0/25158ff3/XL/1963%20Impala%20SS%202-door%20sedan%20-%20engine%20starboard-XL.jpg) (https://canebas.smugmug.com/ClassicandCustomAutomobiles/Car-Shows/2018-Moraga-car-show/i-XWznRBX/A)

Finally, I can provide a little more information about the Ford hot-rod that I photographed on "da' classic car pick-me-up:"

(https://photos.smugmug.com/ClassicandCustomAutomobiles/Car-Shows/2018-Moraga-car-show/i-ZKTR98X/0/bb0d04a8/XL/1940%20Ford%20Opera%20Coupe%20-%20starboard%20front-XL.jpg) (https://canebas.smugmug.com/ClassicandCustomAutomobiles/Car-Shows/2018-Moraga-car-show/i-ZKTR98X/A)

As you can see the hood was open and the contents was quite "assertive!"

Here is the other side:

Since I use SmugMug (http://www.smugmug.com/) to manage my online photos there is an online photo album with additional pictures:

https://canebas.smugmug.com/ClassicandCustomAutomobiles/Car-Shows/2018-Moraga-car-show (https://canebas.smugmug.com/ClassicandCustomAutomobiles/Car-Shows/2018-Moraga-car-show)

There is also a full-screen slide show for those of you with a computer and a nice monitor:

https://canebas.smugmug.com/frame/slideshow?key=Jrmcp2&autoStart=1&captions=0&navigation=0&playButton=0&randomize=0&speed=3&transition=fade&transitionSpeed=2&clickable=1 (https://canebas.smugmug.com/frame/slideshow?key=Jrmcp2&autoStart=1&captions=0&navigation=0&playButton=0&randomize=0&speed=3&transition=fade&transitionSpeed=2&clickable=1)

On the other hand, if you use a mobile device, there is also this link which is supposed to provide more pleasant viewing on those smaller screens:

Enjoy!  :sunny:

Some nice stuff, thanks for sharing.

Unfortunately, I'm so busy that I probably won't catch another classic car show until September.  However, the good weather is finally here and it is classic car season.  So the next time you are at a car show, don't forget your camera or smart phone and please share what you see with the rest of us!  :icon_thumright:

Cheers, Edouard  :occasion14:
