Photos from Car Shows/Meets

Those two blonds at the Talbot Lago, "Yes, my husband is high maintenance, but I know where he is ALL the time."

I thought much the same at the time, at first.
But after observing them for a couple of minutes, I got the impression they are
members of the 'entitled family lineage' of the actual ownership.
They were tittering with cocktails in hand, making disparaging comments
about other vehicle entries in the same class as the Talbot-Lago,
none of which were worthy of such comments, such as a Delahaye
from the Peterson Collection.

They were also ushered away from the vehicle as it neared its place in line,
leading me to believe they were simply wealthy tag-alongs due to being
family or friends of family. Those blondes were aloof and condescending
towards everyone in the near crowd.

This is an example of the snobbery encountered with collectors/collections
which are considered 'important,' while the private individual owners
are often welcoming of comments and admiration.

Here's a photo from the Galpin Car Show in Southern California, 2014.
George Barris was being honored and is sitting in the chair. Next to him is Gene Winfield.
The following year George Barris died at age 89.

The other photo is of a poster showing a younger George Barris. To the right is Ed "Big Daddy" Roth,
creator of custom cars and Rat Fink.

Little local Grom meet. Mine's in the middle, naturally.

S on the hub cap=1932 Studebaker

It's certainly not shown clearly, so the Studebaker moniker cannot be positively gleaned.

It's still a beautiful automobile, and you've photographed it very well,
but your shots didn't identify it to laymen like me.

Such is the only reason I posted the comment...

sweet!

Cruise Night - Joplin, MO last weekend.

These are awesome, I'll have to post a photo of Mr. Barris, from the LA Auto Show's media day, it was his birthday and they had a cake for him, pretty cool. He was quite a guy!

Here we go: from 2013!

Great photos, Mike. George created some fantastic cars. And I remember Prudhomme as well.
