There's no particular justification for this selection from among the 250 cars or so that I saw in September, other than I liked 'em.

| '65 at the Meadowdale show. |
 |
| '64 at my local show. There seems to be a pattern here. Is Pilote a bigger fan of the Sting Ray than he knew? |
 |
| I'll have one from Column A and one from Column B, please. |
 |
The Porsche is an original, unrestored '73 (except for a repaint), all the more remarkable for having spent its entire
life in the Milwaukee-Chicago area. |
 |
| If your TC's this pristine, you can wear whatever clothes and hirsuteness you like to a car show... |
 |
Does anyone besides Pilote remember Judson Superchargers of Conshohocken,
Pennsylvania? Bolt-on, driven by an extra V-belt from the crankshaft pulley.
About 15 lbs. of boost, as I recall. MGA and VW Beetle applications were,
I think, the most popular applications. Love the vanity plate! |
 |
Pilote's monomania: minimalism. I think that I think this is the prettiest Ford 3-window I've seen because of the great
looking metallic pewter paint and the lack of flames and pin-striping: Nothin' But The Car. |
 |
| The fuel injection (Hilborn?) cleans up the top of the engine. |
 |
Old-timey circular pedal pads, but they're suspended like modern ones (not pivoting below the floor). Have you ever
seen a 3-window that looked like it had a comfortable driving position? |

I'm really gonna miss the weekly "cruise nights" and car shows the warm months offer. I've got an idea. I'm gonna find a junk yard that let's me wander amidst the sacred burial grounds. Just stop, look at them - especially the older ones in the way back, by the outer fence. They were all young once, and people loved and cared for them. Every car has a story. Try to figure it out.
