Car Parts, bits and pieces....

I love to look at the lines of old cars, the chrome, the design, the color, the light reflecting off of them.
So as I waked around, I took bits and pieces of the cars. Some people will be able to tell you exactly what car it is by a hood ornament or an emblem. I cant but....I hope you enjoy some of these.
This first one reminded me of red line Hot Wheels.
 This is just such a luscious red.


 Loved this grill! They are 2 inch spikes!!!
 Teardrop headlights are cool! Love the grill too.
 Hubby said quit taking pictures of the naked lady!! LOL
 Pin striping.
 Chrome....
 Chrome....
 Cool!

 Nothing like the smell of these old engines! Kind of like the smell of leather or gun oil.


 Love the green!

 This is really cool!!
 From farther away, very nice air brush work!

See Betty Boop!
 This is the side of the hot rod in the past post, black with the flames. You couldnt see the flames in that picture, that are down the side. Really cool. and those are my feet! It was so shiny!
 This is a brand new, retro design car.
 Oops there is that naked lady again!
       Loved the colors and reflections on the HO.              

 Cool old dashboard.
Hope you enjoyed these! One more post about the car show.
Emma and I are going to ride in the Trail Trial on Saturday!!!
More to come!

More Car Show....post 2. Long post, lots of pics!!

Camas, Washington has become a very cute and quaint little town to strole around and shop and go to the various events that they have, all year. First Fridays, Farmers Market on Wednesdays, Camas Days celebration where all of downtown is blocked off to cars and they have vendors and crafts and food, wine and beer tasting and live bands. Its a lot of fun. 
This is one of the newer little shops. She sells "up cycled goods".
Loved this chicken. (another chicken for Jenna, Lisa! LOL)
 Inside pics.
 Most of the shop owner have snacks for visitors on First Friday, hers were wonderful! I caught Meghan enjoying hers! LOL
 Of course I always look for horsey stuff!
 I dont know what it is, but it is made with horseshoes!
 Cute glasses.
 Here is a sign for Nuzz Muzz! LOL LOL

It was a beautiful evening for walking around and shopping and the car show!

One of the neat old buildings.
And now, MORE CARS!  Cool flames!

Ford Fairlane 500! Hubby and I both had one of these in High School. This one has a 302 in it. Notice the stripe down the side has flames in it.

Steampunk motorcycle! Of course I had to have a pic!! LOL The seat is an English saddle and....
Look at the breast collar on the gas tank!! Funny!!!
Never seen the cut out hood like this!! Cool!
Love it!
There were 100's of cars!
This Fairlane is just like the one I had, with the 289 in it. They did convert it to a shifter on the floor, instead of one on the column.
