Friday,
June 30,
2017: The
annual Show and Shine Car Show was held at
the Body Works in Baxter, MN. |
 |
|
This one is a 1941 Plymouth, built just before World War Two.

Paula liked this Ford
Mustang from the 1960s. She had one like this, given by her
brother when he entered the service. It sat on blocks until
Paula was old enough to drive. Unfortunately for Paula, her
brother came back from the service early and reclaimed the car.
Better luck next time, Paula! |
 |
|
The Mustang controls
were very progressive for the time with a transmission shifter on a
center console. |
 |
|
Collectors often sit
and gaze at what they have, more than drive them. |
 |
|
This 1934 Oldsmobile is
in perfect condition, maybe better than the original. The
speedometer goes up to 110 miles per hour |
 |
|
There is a V-8 under
the hood...in beautiful condition. |
 |
|
Collectors take pride
spend a lot of time shining their treasures. |
 |
|
Some are even for sale.
They sure turn heads as they go by. |
 |
| A U.
S. Army staff/command car. It is a 1950 Packard, painted in Army
green. Its owner is in a uniform from that era. Packard, among other things, produced the famous Merlin engine used on P-51 Mustang planes to help win WWII. |
 |
|
It drew a lot of
attention. The license plate
commemorates D-Day, June 6, 1944, plus 70 years in 2014. |
Quote of the day:
Always fun to see old cars. Mark
