Went to a car show today in Franklin Pa. Saw a lot of unique vehicles, but no Crossfires. Mine was there, but not in the show. Thought you might like to see some of the more unusual ones.

 

Here's a few more from the show.

 

Very nice! Thanks for the photo's.

 

Might as well give you some more.

 

Looks like a nice show, I don't think I've ever seen a Lancia like that "yellow" one in person. I do have a model of one though.

You should have entered your car and showed everybody what a "rare" car really looks like.

 

this corvair is cool.

Very nice, thanks for sharing.

+fireamx is that yours parked in the middle of the street?

 

NOPE...see avatar.

It's just one of the estimated 2,000 "other" ones.

 

Very Kool! Why didn't you enter yours? We are every much as Kool as those cars! Love the old Isotta though.
I've entered my XFR in two shows so far, the first I brought home a Top Three 80 & up factory originals plaque the second we kind of got lost in an overwhelming crowd. Here's a pic from my win...I was a late entry up against 5 Corvettes and a 30th Anniversary Mustang...the Corvettes on the far end packed home without an award. Oops I'm having trouble uploading right now, I'll post when I can...Thanks for sharing your experience and next time don't be shy about entering!

1st show, Apex, NC 21st Annual Jaycees Charity Car Show, WIN Top 3 Factory Original 80-up category '05 Crossfire Ltd Roadster
2nd show, Occoneechee/Orange Speedway Inaugural Car Show...425 competitors over 40,000 spectators (more than double what was expected), 80-up Factory Original category '05 Crossfire Ltd Roadster & '07 Dodge Nitro R/T 4x4.

 

Funny thing is I keep going back to that picture and checking out the wheels, Kinda like a modern wheel with a classic design.

 

Mike I was wondering if that blue was a factory color? I can remember the red, British racing green and of course the "brown" but wasn't sure about blue.

 

I have had cars in the past that I have shown, and I guess I just kinda got burnt out on it. I did have my Nova over there a couple times, it is a good show. I may get the urge again I know people love checking out the XF.

 

That's OK I've never shown a car before and I've been to a few car shows in the past...it's nice to have something some one else drools over. Fun being on the other side of the fence, LOL!
Have a great one and let me know if there are any interesting shows we might show up at together...I'm retired and have plenty of time...hence the mirror like finish of my red roadster, LOL!

A friend of mind in PA built the Corvair. The owner is an ex Marine. Great guy. Nice car. I saw this year at the Corvair nationals in Detroit.

 

I did not catch up to the owner, but it was a pretty nice looking car. I see you have had some pretty interesting Corvairs, my dad used to buy Corvairs as my mom's cars back in the 60's, but the only thing they ever had in the backseat was us kids. My first car was a '65 Monza 110 convertible, never really appreciated that car, but I had a blast in it and I sure do wish I had it back.

 

Nice photos Rick! I enjoy all of them, but for some reason the Duster captured my attention. A Very Clean car.

 

Yes it was a very nice car, between the color and it's pristine condition, it was a real eye catcher. one of my first "practical" cars after Peggy and I got married was a used '71 Demon with a slant six and 3 on the tree. That car just ran and ran, never did a thing to it, could very well still be running today.

 

Rick, when I first glanced at the photo, I thought it was one of the "Big Bad" colored cars. They only came in BB Blue, BB Green, and BB Orange. The orange and green were practically fluorescent, but the blue was almost the same shade of Richard Petty's old race cars from the mid 60's.
Upon closer inspection, I noticed the AMX in your photo had chrome bumpers, while the BB cars had bumpers painted the same color as the car in 1969.
Your "keen" eye spotted the discrepancy. It is indeed a factory color, "Surfside Turquoise" but from a later year, 1971/72. Much better looking than BB Blue in my opinion.
Good thing there wasn't a "Brown" one there. It would have "stole" the show.

 

It like the classics to look at, not to drive anymore! As for their prices ? '67 stock 326 firebirds, 289 '64 - '71 mustangs asking $25k? Makes a stock SRT6 seem like free!
