Default Spectator drive thru car show

This is how a local organization is going to put on it's annual car show this year due to the Covid 19 situation.

A spectator view of some of the cars (and perhaps a few 'shady' characters)
Looked to be about 10% (if that) of the normal attendance for this show.

Signs of the times.

By the time you arrived some of the cars had already left, hence the empty spaces. Cars were parked one space apart due to Covid. Ther was a good stream of spectators that cruised the course, some more than once.

Hey Paul....As another '40 coupe owner myself, I just have to say that YOUR coupe (in MY opinion) is shod in the perfect color, sits with a wonderful stance, and the size of the tires and WW widths are absolute 'perfection'! One very classy rig there, Sir!! DD

Thank you ! ! ! One of the reasons I got it. Near as I can figure out it's a 50's-60's build. G-78,L-78x15's, Almquist intake on a 59AB, KOGEL hi-comp finned heads, Red's headers, Smitty's, chrome 97"s. black r&p Naugahyde, jump seats. That's me on the left in the picture.

Not an expert here, mind ya, but I believe the blue one is about a 1930 Packard, and the yellow one a '32-ish Packard. Anybody else....am I close? DD
