Event Coverage: Classics Against Cancer

Jun 26, 2010

Last Sunday I decided to treat my dad to a classic car show for Fathers day and with the ‘Classics Against Cancer’ show being the same day I figured it was meant to be, unfortunately even though the show was scheduled until 4 a lot of the cars started rolling out at 3:30. While I was quite disappointed my dad seemed to enjoy the show regardless of the fact lot of cars had already left.

Since a lot of the cars were gone by the time we arrived today’s coverage is a little different than my normal fare but if you like anything on wheels you will enjoy.

Kits

Part of the show was dedicated to Kit cars which was pretty cool because kit cars are all sorts of fun.

vwkit — Anyone ever driven one of these? What's it like how do they handle?

kit — Not sure what this car is supposed to resembe but it looks pretty rad

Imports

Imports from all over the place, not just Asia.

morris — Rare to see a Morris Minor in these parts

british_coupes — A pack of British roadsters

consulpolicecar — I was shocked when google informed me this is a UK-Ford!

1980 and newer

Though billed as a classic show they did have a few young blood cars out.

camaro — Both my dad and I really dig these

camaro2 — Tried to convice him to get one as a retirement gift to himself... didn't work

nextmodgenesis — I will have some more info on this car for you later this week

s102 — Another, both Twizted Kreationz rides

Classic Iron

Big pieces of American history

ford_truck — I love these Fat Fendered trucks

galaxie1 — Galaxie 500's are very large cars

galaxie2 — Another Galaxie but this ones a weee bit faster

tornado — Big old Tornado, if I recall these have torsion bars up front and drop easy

thunderbird — These look way better than those more recent Thunderbirds

Vintage Rides

Paying homage to the vehicles which we would be nowhere today without.

ford_modelas — Every time I see Model A I am in awe that they still run

creammodela — Might not be fast but sure is pretty

modela_plugwires — Check out the plug and distributor setup, different from what we have today and yet the same

1belt — Only one belt for the fan, simple.

ogram — With an original ram on the hood

That’s it for this years Cars Against Cancer, be sure to check out last years coverage if you missed it. Maybe next year I will try and arrive early…

Ollie, I can always count on you to know what the cars across the pond are supposed to look like.

My BMW suffered from horrible bumper conversions on the import here 🙁

….Those are a pair of Challengers, not Chargers…

  @KFoot you’re right The beginning and ending letters are the same. Though 😀

I actually think the second shot might be a miata chassis with a healy body. And any Panther Pink (Dodges) or Moulin Rouge (Plymouths) are extremely rare, and awsome. One of the only cars that can make pink look good.
