Autofest Car Show -- 2014

I was down at the lakefront to check out Autofest. I'm not a hard-core car buff but I was there an hour or two.

Red is always a popular colour.

A bit too much red in this case?

There was a tent with some small creatures in aquarium tanks for the kids to enjoy. Mind you, the adults were enjoying them too. Myself included.

A bulbous frog.

This African tortoise was a hit.

It was allowed to wander about under the attendant's eye.

A Caddy from the tail-fin days, with a deadly looking bumper. Were they standard or is this a custom job?

A couple hundred of the cars were under the trees by the lake. It was a nice setting to wander through.

An interesting trailer.

These hard-top convertibles didn't sell well did they? No trunk space.

T-Birds on the other hand, were a big seller.

 

The owner added a cute touch. It brings back the A&W days of window trays and car-hops.

We used to see these on the road didn't we? Is it an Edsel? 

This is now common at car shows they tell me. They use air bags instead of springs so that the vehicles can be lowered to the ground for shows. Looks a bit odd. Note the license plate.

A work in progress?
