33 Coupe Having Fun 6       6/21/07

This was a busy weekend for us because the following day, June 3, we went to a show in Calimesa which was held at the Oak Valley Family Church. The theme was called "Hot Rod Heaven" and ran from 3 to 7 pm on Sunday.

This show is held once a year and when I had the car finished awhile ago, this was going to be on our short list of shows to attend. But for whatever reason (last year) this show didn't happen. It did this year so this is one reason we did the two-in-one-weekend car show. Oh, I almost forgot, there were motorcycles at the show too.

The way the parking was handled this time made for a smaller show, which meant it was a first come-first serve deal this time. The last show they had (two years ago) had the spectators parking in the road in front of the church (which was a very long line of cars) so this may be why they decided to park everyone on the property.

One of the things we look forward to when we go to these shows is raffle, 50/50 drawing and the food. This show didn't disappoint with any of the above. And you couldn't get any more reasonable with the cost of the food, two bucks got you a cheeseburger, chips and drink (now that's what I'm talk'n about). All the proceeds went back to the church so that was a good thing.

In this shot you can see where most of the show cars were at and down towards the end is where the spectators parked. You can see Interstate 10 in the distance.
 

 

 

This is a 1955 Ford flatbed. The whole truck was flawless and looking very good.
 

 

 

I like this 1938 Chevy Coupe. It was pretty much stock but on the other hand, it looked good like that.
 

 

 

Here's a nice clean 1951 Chevy pickup. It has a nice contrasting light and dark gray interior along with some chrome yellow paint.
 

 

 

This is another nice clean pickup but this time it's a 1939 Ford. It gets it's power from a small block Chevy with a nicely detailed engine compartment and bed area.
