Part of what makes these old cars fun is that the owners have decided to paint them a color they would never have been when new. Pre 1960 or so, cars were largely black or a dark color (dark green, brown, or possible blue). Of course, there were a few cars that had some color, but never candy apple red.
So this last post of the car show ended up being my post for Christmas. That's OK since this season gets much of its appear from nostalgia and that is what a car show is all about.
One of the things I miss in today's modern cars are the hood ornaments. They are not functional but they are handsome.
Since a car show is filled with lots of bright colors, I thought I'd warm up a little with some bright natural colors.
About this time each year (except, of course, last year), Snohomish has car show where folks with restored vehicles, mostly those considered antiques, are displayed. I'm not sure if there are prizes but everyone seems to have a good time. Folks park their precious ones along 1st street and the local shops/restaurants are all open to invite in the customers.
