This past weekend, I noticed a car show in town on Sunday. So, of course, I had to stop by and look at all the shinies...

Real nice 1960 Jaguar Mark IX, not a perfect restoration (repainted Olde English White from, I think, black and reupholstered interior in Wedgewood Blue from white, but the results are still gorgeous.
Leaper comin right for ya!
Think many were chauffeured? Seatback trays for the back seat.

Classic firetruck
Flanked by a modern replica of a fire chief car, decorated in honor of the 9/11 fire fighters, police and rescue workers who died that day.
The names of all of them are across the trunklid.

Good looking cars, although personally I'm a fan of the muscle car era, particularly late 60s, early 70s. Was hoping to see more of them, but still good looking cars

Like this guy?
Somehow I managed not to take an actual pic of the Nova SS
This was a nice Fairlane
But those were about the only muscle cars in attendance.

I had a Fairlane just like that - 390 biggie, '67. I used to live at car shows, but all the Chevies just turn me off. Nice pics, here!

Yeah, and there was very little Mopar love. There was a 49 Plymouth which was I think the only Mopar...

Folks shy away from real quality. They do that in all aspects of life, it seems. That's cool, more MOPAR for me!

But GMs have always had the best looks! And I'm sort of partial to the 2nd gen Pontiac Firebird Trans Am

Of course, that's total opinion. I think most the old GM stuff is totally lame, and far prefer MOPAR. How many engines at an average car show are crate 350s vs a neck-breaking 340? Nuff said.

350, 340, both are just such little motors.

Heh, you can build little engines with big power! But yes, I like the big blocks as well. 440 all day long.

And bigger engines with bigger power.
My 455 is basically stock right now, but I'm saving my pennies for an edelbrock intake and 750 cfm carb.
I just passed a Fairlane 500 on the road ten minutes ago. I think a '60 or '61
