Father's Day Outing!--Part ONE

Yesterday, we had a great time on Father's Day. The weather was gorgeous here: warm and sunny.
Every Father's Day, our local Iron Mine Heritage Museum has an antique car show on Father's Day. We have attended many years. It is basically free (except for a mere $3.00 parking fee) and we always love seeing the old cars.

I thought it might be fun to photograph the cars and some of their extraordinary features for my readers to see. So, here goes!:

I LOVE the clasic lines of thsis car's front grill. Can't you just see Bonnie and Clyde driving this one?:

I loved both the color and style of this old Cadillac!:

Aren't those "lipstick" rear lights just the BEST?:

It would be such fun to ride around for a day in this 1930 car:

One of the things that fascinates me most of some of the old cars are the ornate and original hood ornaments! Look at THIS one!:

I would love to have this trunk, isn't it cute?






I liked this model, too!:






I think my older brother's first car was almost identical to this one. It was already old when he got it in 1966! I think this one is a 1950's era car:

I also loved peeking into the interior of the cars and seeing what the simple dashboards looked like:

Don't you want to climb into the "rumble seat" and go for a ride in the country?:

Some more of the 1950's era Chevy and an old red truck:

I LOVED this stylish, classy FORD hood ornament too!

Did you know that at one time, you could order a car from Sears? There was a man there that said his Dad bought one for $350.00 (which was a LOT of money back in the day!):

I loved this classy FORD spare tire on the rear of one of the cars:

Loved the red wheels on this car. I don't think the original car had them in red, but when they restored this one, they had it painted that way:

I have plenty more photographs because basically I went nuts there snapping them left and right...so I will post more later this week for you!

I hope all the Dad's out there had a wonderful Father's Day.

And, Dad? If you are reading this from heaven (along with my hubby's Dad), we hope you enjoyed the trip to the antique show with us. We love and miss you both!
