First cruise of the season in Escondido

Above is one of the side streets, not the main drag. Below is the duece donation grill

Tweety bird mudflaps.. yikes.

great shifter, it's in a 50's Dodge Sierra












Great centerpiece design and dash piece over the glove box. The dual ashtrays are not unique, a few cars had them, but the clock between and the radio above turned out really well
Instantly recognizeable tail light, I like that about older cars from the 60's

patina on a Vette? I don't see that often... and it's got a Ratfink, ergo, it gets posted

The military aren't charged for the event, but have to be there in dress uniform. I always hated that, having to be in dress uniform at an event where you are likely to get dirty, just think about all the brake and rubber dust.When is the last time you saw a coon tail cap?

Bring a kid to a show, in action. Very cool!


Cadillac Barritz convertible... the first one I've ever seen








The godfather of the GTO, Jim Wangers. Really nice guy, I got to talk to him for a few minutes. He is very generous with his time, and a pleasure to chat with.

A compare and contrast here








Why bring dogs? I don't get it. Isn't a crowd of people difficult enough to walk around in without pushing a baby carriage with dogs in it?




To the right of the bottle opener (cool thing to have on the dash) is Jimmy Shine's autograph
Umm. . . he is the newest custom hot rod builder at So-Cal Speed Shop http://www.jimmyshine.com/bio-index.htm

Nice Plymouth custom! It's gonna be great when it's got one color





The ashtray for the back seat passengers.. yeah, obsolete as the choke lever, I know


I like the contrast of the 60's headlights and fender vs. the 08. Why do they continue to carry on a name when the next generation has no resemblence to the original? The only common factor I can think of is that they both have 4 tires.














Above: still my favorite duece for the paint scheme

Well done tanks!
