05/10: Cinderella Car Show

Posted by: The Agnew Family
Uncooperative weather slowed Ed down this week though he did manage to frame the doorway and put on the siding starter and corner strips on the shed. Today he got a day off to attend the Cinderella Car Show in Port Elgin with Rob, Ellen, Victor and Anne. It sprinkled on us a few times but for the most part the rain held off. Happily a lot of cars came out even though the weather forecast was not very good. The motorbike road was a little bare.
I think there was less than a dozen motorbikes on display including these two.
As in previous years, there were lots of beautifully restored cars of many makes and models. For some reason there seemed to be more pickup trucks this year (might be me as I usually only see part of the car show as I sneak off Pumpkinfest)
Anne really like the colour of this truck. I told Ed that if we ever decide to get rid of the Miata (highly unlikely) we should get ourselves one of these old trucks.
Think this was my favourite car at the show --- a white and cherry red 1959 Corvette.
Nice firetruck from Southampton.
There were also a lot of unique things at the car show.
This fellow brought his matching boat along.
This fellow was prepared for all kinds of weather. Tracks on the back wheels, wheels and skis on the front.
Not sure what the motivation was behind this car --- maybe he had two cars to restore and only the front ends were in restorable condition or perhaps neither engine was reliable so this gave him a spare. Whatever the reason, this car got a lot of attention. Ed thinks only one of the engines was actually set up to run.
I missed seeing this car but was intrigued by the photo Ed took.
This truck's engine would be really easy to work on.
