It was our first really miserably hot day of the not-yet-summer season, but we still saw a good turnout of supportive car enthusiasts for the 2010 Veterans Count Classic Car & Motorcycle Show.

We had a lot of automotive diversity on hand, from military vehicles to full-on race cars like the 57 Chevy shown above. We had little European cars like the Austin era Mini-Cooper shown below, to some timeless American luxury cars of the 1950's like the Chrysler Imperial shown cruising through the show area.





One of my personal favorites was the really well executed Chevy S-10 pick-up truck that arrived with a full complement of 1960's customizing tricks.
From the shave, haircut and lowered stance, to the flawless candy red mini-flake paint job, this one demanded a second look. Once you gave it some more attention, you would notice a completely re-done interior in white with deep red piping, and elaborate pin-striping on the now white dash. The truck wore late model Caddy tail lights, and a bed with a white lining that really set the paint off like a road flare. A great blend of new style with time honored techniques. Well done!





The pristine resto-mod 69 Camaro seen below walked off with the "best of show" award, and a close examination of this one revealed another marvel of detailing that made it a deserving winner of the top nod.



But it wasn't an easy decision. We had some serious contenders from meticulously restored stockers and trick street rods, to wild supercharged hot rods.





In the end, it was all for a proper cause, as this show helps to raise awareness to the good work done by the Alpha Omega Veterans Services. But hot or not, we need to see you with your ride at our next show. So keep a watch on these pages for details about the Faith Baptist Church Classic Car & Bike Show coming up August 28th, and start polishing that paint job now, because show season has arrived!
