I can go on for more ‘Parts’ than there were Rambo or Rock movies, but I’ll stop with what I think was the star of the car show. It was only on display, so it wouldn’t be taking any trophies home.
It wasn’t this Ferrari
Or this guy in the matching Ferrari hat. (Hey Ryan)
Nor was it this original Shelby Aluminum bodied racer
The thing about attending regional car shows in your region is there’ a very good chance that you are going to run some of the same cars, even in a show as big as this one. Oh..don’t get me wrong I love looking at them but writing about the same cars is not very rewarding. So I’m going to show you some of the cars I really enjoyed.
Of course I’m always drawn to the Vettes.
Maybe something in Satin?
Or maybe something with a bit of a sting-er
Or how about an Anniversary Grand Sport!!!
And this one made me miss my old C4.
Lots more to come from the Tucson Classic car show – including – dashes and one particularly rare and extremely AWESOME car!! (Oh..and it’s not a Corvette!!!)

Well another great show for the Tucson Rotary Club!!!! As always I loved every car (almost) but if I had to pick a couple favs…it would be these (it’s more then a couple).
The Ramblers – I loved these two!!
Rounded Lines of this Rambler really sets it off.
Not exactly stock…but I love the lines
Little something extra under the hood!!
A little custom work here and there. Tastefully done.
Love the wheel and the stance is great!!!
Yes, Hemmings Muscle Car mag fans, you’ve seen this Rambler grace the pages of that very cool periodical.
Just as cool where the ‘bakers (Studebakers)
Black and Chrome!!!!! Great looking Hawk.
Grill for days!!!
From the finned Hawk to the stout two door Lark…I like ’em both.!!!
Top Dead Center is up on Mt Lemmon this week, and the Ramblers are passing through town, so we thought we’d set them up at the Hut for all you folks without cars or other means of transportation up the mountain. These boys come highly …
I kid you not…this is one of the most enjoyable car shows. You get to park your classic, muscle, racer, import or special purpose vehicle on the grass (yeah…lots of it) – no nasty dirt or melting tar parking areas. Grab that blanket out your trunk and spread out under a tree and enjoy!!!!
Oh….did I mention that for $5.00 you get into the show and you get a change to win this!!!!!
You may have noticed a lack of post over the past week. There’s a good reason for that, I am currently driving around a trip to Italy. And I’ll share the driving experience and few cars in a couple days. Yes there is a Ferrari involved!!!
