Thread: Old 56 Highway Show - Gardner, KS

Tweet

Today was the makeup day for a show that got rained out back in late April or early May. It was a beautiful cool morning, running to hot by mid-day. Here are some shots of the cars that attended that caught my eye.

My car, parked on the corner cooking in the sun







A COE sitting on a 2003 Envoy chassis:









A very sweet Inglese EFI system -




The guy that owns this nasty '34 is 75 years young.....




And this is his wife's car......


Nice '61




















Aussie UTE - NICE!!

BTW, is the green Ford in the bottom pic a real Cobra Jet???? Looks nice!!!!!

Thanks for all the great pictures Roger! Looks like a fun day!!

YES! He had a notebook of magazine clips about the history. It's a numbers matching 460 (I think) Cobra Jet, and it's a nicely done driver restoration.

Rare piece!!!! That vintage I think would be a 429 CJ????? Not exactly my favorite color, but nevertheless, a drop dead gorgeous car!!!!!!

Dave,
I've seen the car before, and may have other pictures of it on the other computer. I'll see it again, and will take more shots of the engine, etc, for more info. Looks like I missed the "All Ford" show at the Olathe Ford dealer this year, but he'll be around, he's local.

Man, I tell you! Nice as that car is I'd almost have to leave it stock!!!! (That is if it's a 4 speed car!)

Great pics, Roger!! They have some nice rides hidden away out there in the flatlands!

Yours is looking pretty great, too! Congrats on the trophy!
