Small Car Show in Ripley, WV.

[Prages]

Driving past the courthouse on Saturday, we saw a car show, so we stopped and took some pics.

Wow, nice stuff!

Looks like a pretty good collection of autos!

 

[reverend1]

They are not all mucked up either.

 

[Prages]

There wasn't much that was completely stock, but they were pretty tastefully done for the most part.

Love the thunderbolt

 

[Phil513]

I swear we had a dodge coronet exactly like that growing up.

 

[BlackCat]

This guy is almost ready to go racing right off the lot.

 

[Tiltsta]

Yeah, that thunderbolt is badass. I would love to have one of those someday.

You and me both...but with only 100 factory units sold and no official count of remaining cars, that's a unlikely proposition. I used to go to the nostalgic nationals over at Englishtown, NJ and there was a guy that ran a burgundy thunderbolt. Something like only the first 10 were burgundy but I don't know if his was an original or repaint of the later white model. I'll have to see if I still have the 35mm photos anywhere of it.

I'd love to see the pics.

I've seen quite a few fake/replica Thunderbolts over the years, but never a real original. I could completely live with a fake, as I would actually drive it and use it to do traffic light burn outs.

 

[Help!I'maRock!]

those look like normal sized cars to me.

 

[Mark Wein]

Nice!

And for the most part way more tasteful (to my sensibilities at least) than any show around here as far as the older cars go.

BADASS

BADASS

I know, right? I would totally rock that. I think the post modal wasn't called an impala, it was a biscayne or something like that.
