Hot Rods at the Fairgrounds
Really could there be a better location for a giant car show than the fairgrounds? Classic Americana is best served surrounded by even more Americana. The Puyallup Fairgrounds in Puyallup Washington turned into a haven for all cars Pre-1972. You like Chopped mercury coupes? Got ‘em. Rat Rods? There was a strong showing. Muscle Cars? I don’t think I have seen so many SS and Shelby models in any one place ever. Hands down. There were cars from back east, down south, and even our friendly cousins to the north.
The 90 degree heat and meandering the fairgrounds from car to car made it hard to truly appreciate all of them. I found myself fading after only about 30 minutes. Most people were huddled in what little shade there was. Overall a great show full of great cars. There is a whole gallery of the photos here.
Nice shot. If I needed a getaway car that could drive through enough brick walls to make the police think that maybe they’re better off not catching a guy who would drive through that many brick walls, this would be my choice.
