Default At the car show last Saturday

Thought I would share a photo of my car at the first car show of the season last Saturday.

Here's a couple of photos of my friends 56 Fords.

Very nice, and it makes me envious. The season here doesn't kick off for another couple months. We drive in the rain, but standing around gets a bit damp.

Thanks Mike. Yeah, that would not make car shows enjoyable!

This was taken prior to the show. I was getting the 56 dressed up for the show!

Those cars all clean up and show very well. I have a question for the owner of the black one. Did the factory ever sell an all black Crown Vic? I have seen one from your neck of the woods several times in the past several months. That all black Crown is stunning. Absolutely beautiful. My hat is off to the owner, that has to be the most difficult car to keep photo ready of any. Keep up the great work.

Thanks everyone!

Don, that black 56 Crown belongs to my dear friend, Randall Hornaback who is like a dad to me. He lives just down the road in Joplin.

I know that he told me the car was black and white when he got it many years ago, and he didn't car a lot for the color combo so he had it painted all black.

Had a neighbor back in Minnesota that bought an all black '55 Crown Vic new,he probably waxed it on a weekly basis and drove a clunker in the winter.

Dave,

Thank you for the compliment, but from what I see, your car looks great.
