Well, if not faithful to the true "rat rod" configuration, certainly in the spirit of it!

This was a 'concours' event, and the quality of the vehicles supported this. The album is arranged backwards, so the older and/or more high end vehicles are several pages in
 
It's hard to choose what I liked most, so many beautiful cars. Those Bentleys were impressive, as well as the 30s material, and that blue supercharged MG really had me smitten. The boats and motorcycles were also interesting, something you don't see all the time.
 
The parking garage of this event was a fun place too, lots of the attendees drove their old cars, including myself. The Eldo Brougham and the Triumph parked next to the big Buick were the most amusing as I walked back to my car.

Nice car show pictures.
 
The last Concours-style show I went to was in July. You can see some of the vehicles that I found intriguing here:
 
York Concours
 
Especially take note of the 1948 Delahaye pictures (especially the interior) and the locally-built Pullman cars.
 
Enjoy!

I wish I had taken a picture of the rear of that Mercedes-Benz. The woodwork inside the van was SPECTACULAR! The entire load floor including wheel well covers were made of wood with metal runners down the middle. So nice. I actually met the guy who did the woodwork and he was (justifiably so) proud of it.

...I'll be taking my 1989 Cadillac Brougham, (weather permitting) to the Fall Meet of the Valley Forge Region Cadillac-LaSalle Club on Sunday, September 23rd at Peddler's Village in Lahaska, PA. The show starts at 10 AM and goes to 3 PM

Hey Lemko, how did that show on the 23rd go? Hope it was a good time.

It was a small show, especially compared to Macungie or Carlisle, but it went well. The weather was excellent, but it could've been about 5 degrees cooler.
 
There were a lot of interesting cars there including a V-12 roadster and a couple of V-16s. One surprisingly rare car was a 1937 LaSalle two-door sedan. Only 711 were made. The four-door sedans and business coupes were more popular. Of course there were plenty of '59s. Seems like every one of them survived as did every 1965 Mustang and 1957 Chevrolet. There was a beautiful 1964 Eldorado convertible in this really nice shade of teal blue metallic. There also was a 1966 Series 75 limousine, a 1974 flower car, and a 1977 ambulance.
 
Per judging, my Brougham is an Emeritus car which means it's received at least 5 first-place awards. In other for others to compete, my car is removed from judging to encourage newer members. In other words, if the same guys keep winning, others may lose interest. I do get a little plate to screw onto a plaque for participating.
 
Hope to see you guys at Carlisle and Hershey!
