Hundreds and HUNDREDS of great cars, & this is only 1/3 of the field!Have I ever mentioned that we are crazy for car shows? It all started way back when Chris and I were dating. He used to drag me around to car shows all over CT and really, I am sure I was rolling my eyes all the way through the first one. I mean, I didn't know the difference between a wheel or a tire, much less a big block or a straight 6.
The entrance all decked out in flagsBUT--the 50's music was great, the people were all really friendly, and after a few times, I began to really enjoy the sound of the muscle cars -- that deep, throaty rrrrRRRRRRR . . . and, well, look at me now. I am plum crazy for a '69 Chevelle.
We used to love hearing the drivers lay some one-leggers on the road when they left. DRAT!!!Now, Chris is so excited to impart his passion for muscle cars onto his son. And the movie Cars has certainly given James a good start! Here he has found what he thinks is Doc Hudson from the movie.
And Lizzie . . .
Only at Marks can you see a boatload of new Challengers all lined up in one place. That's NUTS!
Anyone for a little horsepower?
This one was a beauty. As Chris says, you have to respect something that has been around this long and is original. A true survivor.
Here was a car that we thought resembled Ramone . . .
My boy loves the trucks with the big tires! His birthday is coming up soon. Maybe he wants a lift kit!
Oooh, and a real showstopper. I can just see myself pulling into Fat Boy's Drive In in this baby . .
So what can I say? Monday's around here are something to look forward to! If you are a car afficianado, or you just appreciate a little rumble and some Armorall, visit the Mark's Classic Cruise website to learn more. See you at the show!

Nice way to spend a Spring day.They don't make them with the orignality that they used to these days.
-I don't know how far back the post was but you had a great shot of a Great- Blue Heron with fish in mouth--great job on capturing that one.
What beautiful cars.....love it. x
love the cars! and the burn out sign was funny!
I would love to drive around in one of those big-fender, shark-fin cars from the 50s....a convertible of course...preferably pink (or turquoise). :-)
Cruise nights are very popular in our city, but are generally on a smaller scale. Some of those cars are so big. I didn't remember how the five children (and dog) in my family all fit in the back seat.
I don't know the last thing about cars, but I do like looking at the different designs through the ages. Great photos!
Cool! Mondays here still suck....
What an awesome summertime event to have in your own town! I adore vintage cars and would be trying to make my way to this show as often as I could if I lived nearby :)
Thank you very much for your beautiful comment on my blog. I'm truly sorry about your mother. It's beautiful though that you were able to absorb a lifelong love of vintage from her (and your dad). Thank you for sharing that with me.
May you have a joyful & serene Sunday,
♥ Jessica
