2006 Conshohocken Classic Car Show

For you members in the Philly area, the Historical Car Club of Pennsylvania is holding its annual Conshohocken Classic Car Show on Saturday, June 3rd, 2006 in Conshohocken. I didn't enter the show last year, but when driving down the main street, they waved me in and fun ensued. If you are out taking a drive, you might want to swing by and check it out. You can find info on the show here:

Just to let everyone know, the event was rained out on June 3 and rescheduled for June 17 from 9am-3pm. If anyone is thinking about showing up, let me know.

Colton,
Do you live in Conshohocken? Are you going?
I may go to this event. Haven't decided yet. It's just a few miles from me.

Yes, I live in Conshohocken. I am thinking about going to the show. I didn't "enter," but might swing by before my tee time at Jeffersonville. It was funny last year... I was new to Conshy and didn't know about the show. I was driving on Fayette Street and they just moved the gate on and waved me through!

Conshohocken Classic Car Show had a pretty good turn out. There were about 5 blocks with cars parked both sides in the show.
Mostly American Iron. A couple of Cobras and some Glass coupes and roadsters.
Nice day.

Greg, I think it's probably impossible to take a bad photo of your car, sunny day or otherwise. Beautiful. How many Speedster folks made it?

Hey Greg!

Did you lose your voice answering questions from all the inquisitive car fanatics walking by your SWEEEEET RIDE?!

Corey,
Thanks for the compliment. I was the only Speedster. I think the theme was Oldies but goodies. Lots of '50's & 60's American cars. Chevies, a bunch of Corvairs and vettes, Mercury, Fords,Pick-up's some Roadsters and some old 30's American Cars. Looked to me like this crowd either kept the cars they had in Hi-School or built the one they wanted in Hi-School.
Not a lot of Air cooled or VW's. There were 2 beetles and a karman ghia, and a MG Kit car based on a VW.
Jim, I had lots of general interest. What is it? Oh! I see! the motor is in the back. What if someone rear-end you?
Mostly everyone thought it was cool, but not too many were familiar with Porsche or Foreign cars.
Next time: Blue Dots, Fuzzy Dice, Club plaque, Frankie Avalon and Bobby Rydell music coming from the Drive in replica speakers.

It was an eye opener, to see the Overkill Hardware structures some of these hot rods incorporated to change front suspension, mount a different motor, or cooler or radiator.
Most of the cars were pretty nice and pride and joys of the owners.
There were a few Pro-built Street racers that were Hi-Dollar rides: Chevelles, a Javalin, and a beautiful, perfect, black tuck and roll, red paint '57 Chevy.
Overall it was a worthwile outing. I really enjoyed seeing the cars I grew up with in the '60's
