the green one isn't a Merc, or a Chev... how about that?
Just put it on the ground, and no one can steal it right?
Great pinstriping, cool old license plate.
Hudson. How cool is that?
Round up of the cool, but unique.
A Deosoto Fireflite Coronado, with it's own artwork. Neat.
Just looks cool
Most factory gauges for a car that only has a 289? I bet it is. Looks very cool, 140 speedo is a bit optimistic for factory tuning, but it's added cool factor.
How about a green sun roof, super sized? This just floods my thoughts with 50's optimistic sales brochures of long drives through the southwest deserts, touristing to the Grand Canyon, Carlsbad Caverns, White Sands, Bonneville.... green interior is a nice touch.
1956 Mercury Monterey Sun Valley. Why the owner didn't put it in the show.... no accounting for tastes I suppose. It goes to reinforce my long held belief that cars just as cool as those on display are in the parking lot, everytime.
Round up of the cool, but unique, at Coronado's car show
An MG with a supercharger. Owner was overheard saying it boosted output 30%, and now has no qualms going up steep hills.
Ever notice the small stuff? This Jaguar tach, made by Smiths, moves counter clockwise, and the top center gauge needles move away from each other... cool points awarded for difference in design, instead of the same ol, same ol.
Buick Caballero. When station wagons were cool, and had wrap around glass for the raised half of the tailgate.
Again with the small stuff... what are the odds on 2 cool 60's Vettes parking next to each other on the same street, at the same car show, with the SAME LAST 3 DIGITS on their license plates? Wow... total effect wow.
66 Ford Custom 500. I've never seen one before. Cool!
When is the last time you saw Holley valve covers?
Cragar S/S always look good, blue brake drums, nice!
Sort of the lowest level in Ford's medium size cars for 66, the next level up would have been a Galaxie I think.
