Yesterday's Cruise-in

Somewhat limited participation as we just resumed our Monthly Cruise-ins after a long extremely HOT summer, so only a couple of pics of cars I found to be most interesting.

1938 Ford 2dr Sedan - Restomod with a Chevy LT-1 engine

I just attended the Beeline Cruise-In car show in the neighboring town of Payson yesterday. Many hundreds of cars there, and I got a total of 63 pictures, many of them three or four of the same car from different angles.
Maybe it's just me, but I can't get too interested in seeing the same kinds of cars over and over again at every show. I mean, if you've seen one '65 Mustang, you've seen them all, but every show will have ten Mustangs, ten GTOs, Malibus, Corvettes, Thunderbirds...and the usual array of Tri-Five Chevies.
Yesterday I saw what was claimed to be a '41 Hupmobile Skylark, but my research says only a handful of Skylarks were produced and they were 1939 models. After that, Hupmobile went out of production. Still an interesting car, as was the "58 Studebaker President 2-dr. hardtop.

Very good set, Rodder.
Thanks, Earnest. Hopefully, attendance will pick up at our monthly Cruise-ins as cooler weather sets in and our "Snowbirds" return with their rides.

Thanks, Luke. A good friend of mine recently purchased this small Buick. You just don't see many of this model, especially in the coupe version as verified in sales offerings in collector car listings. One reason may be that many of the small aluminum V-8's found in this model found a second life powering the smaller classes of inboard hydroplanes as seen in this photo.

Good captures FL Streetrodder. One year you should check out "Crusin' The Coast" It is for several days along the Mississippi Gulf Coast. It is usually held in October. Make hotel reservations WELL in advance, they book up quickly.
