Howdy, Everybody!
Been a while since I’ve posted, but on my defense, life has been busy. On a bright note, busy has included attending a couple of car shows.
Yeppers, car shows are a happening thing again. Finally, the grip that COVID has had on the nation has lessened, people are trying to get back to a more normal lifestyle, and shows are beginning to happen again.
With that, we took Double S (My ’65 Impala Super Sport) to the Hooked on Classics show (Benefitted the Little Elm Police Department), at the Hula Hut in Little Elm, Texas. Turns out, what I thought was going to be a “Smallish” show, was not. Nope, it was pretty good sized. So big, that we almost didn’t get in. Why, because we were running late.
Not a Great Start on Show Day
The day before the show, I prepped Double S with a little clean up, and went to bed, thinking that we’d get up and get moving. Nope. Woke the next day to find that Double S had a flat tire. So, time was burned getting it over to a shop for repair. Ennis Wheel and Tire fixed me up, and we were finally on our way.
Oh, My Gosh! Look at all the cars!
The trip, from Ennis, TX to Little Elm, TX, was not bad. Double S was running great, the weather was nice, traffic wasn’t too bad in Dallas, and we arrived a bit after 1:00, the start time of the show. I had planned to be there at least an hour earlier, but it didn’t happen, and . . . .
We almost didn’t get into the show. Luckily, Christine sweet talked the folks into allowing us entry, so we “Shoe Horned” Double S into a spot.
While trying to get in, we were in contact with my Son, Joe, Daughter, Tiffnie, as well as Dear Friends Pinky and Haley Peneda, trying to coordinate getting together.
We finally got Double S parked, and all gathered to wander around.
Wow! It’s Bigger Than I Expected!
I don’t know why I was expecting a small show, or a medium show, but this one was not. Put on by Mustang Sally Productions, it was pretty darn big. The parking lot was packed, with cars overflowing into other areas. Hula Hut is an Eatery, and attendees and others, were wanting to get in to eat, us included. Parking? What parking? Many folks had to hike for food.
Big is good, especially after the lockdown. We were not disappointed in the number, and variety, of vehicles. We were in Vehicular Heaven.
Enough With The Banter, Here’s Photos.
Well, I haven’t done very well on this show, as I just went looking to add more pics, but found that somehow I dumped the folder. Well, I’ve reached out to my daughter, Tiff, to see if she has some.
Well, Tiff came through. Actually, I had them in Messenger and just hadn’t downloaded them to my laptop. I’ll post a few more, then get back here later.
Right: Nice looking Cutlass, which I don’t have details on.
Well, that’s it for a bit. Need to get onto the Texas Fandango post, so I’m going to leave this one here, for now.
