BELLEVIEW CAR CLUB HAS GREAT SHOW!

Today in Belleview in the Belleview Regional Shopping Center AKA the K-Mart Plaza, there was a CAR SHOW for all types of cars from old to newer, there was even a one of a kind! I Spoke with a few folks and did interviews over the AudioBlogger system but they did not come through for some reason, sorry about that. The Pictures alone are worth the trip to the Blog Spot though!
The show was a lot bigger than the usual show held oever by the Wachovia Bank (the old Bank of Belleview parking lot) I will try to remember a little bit about some of the cars and people that I met and talked to a couple were unforgetable! One thing I must say is that this little cell phone camera is doing a pretty good job concsidering it was a free upgrade by Singular!


OH yes and you could not have asked for a better day AROUND BELLEVIEW for an event like this. There were prizes and even some music and lots and lots of sunshine!



This Yellow creation was a one of a kind machine created by a fellow named Joe Gasper. This car was a 5 year labor of love! He told me that the idea was to have 3 cars and to sell two to pay for one, but when he finished this one he just could not bear it knowing there would be MORE! he wanted to drive a ONE OF A KIND! This Yellow machine has a CADILLAC POWER TRAIN and is nice inside and out! Click on the Photo of his car to listen to the interview that we had together!

Now here is a Car worth Drooling over. Again we had a great talk, these guys have put many many hours into their cars and as Charlie Stigal said now he has the time! This car if I am not mistaken took 5 years to get to look as good as it does. Click to listen to his story!

LOOK AT THIS PAINT. NOT A SWIRL OR SCRATCH!





Here are a few more Pictures for us folks to envy!

Beautiful!



OH Sure the cars being put out today have much more eye appeal than these Old Cars did! SURE YOU KEEP TELLING YOURSELF THAT WHEN YOUR AT THE NEW CAR LOT WASTING YOUR MONEY WHEN YOU COULD HAVE ONE OF THESE FOR HALF THE PRICE! You know the more I think about it. If a person wanted to have a real nice car that they could use as a drive about town care, there is almost no reason at all to buy a new one after looking at these! AMAZING! Plus in an accident you would not stand a chance against most of these chrome bumper metal giants!
A PARKING LOT FULL of REAL CARS! From the mid 1940s though this last years Corvett! Profulla and I had a great time.




NOW FOR MY PERSONAL FAVORITE! a 100% original 1966 Galaxie 500 with a 7 Liter Engine and a rag top. THE ORIGINAL RAG TOP! This car has NEVER been repainted and has less then 60 thousand miles on it. I spoke with the owner and he and his wife assured me that they bought this car BRAND NEW up in OHIO in 1966 ( and a half)! This car lets me know what color my car is really SUPPOSED TO BE! RED!





THE ORIGINAL OWNERS!
Mr and Mrs Bob Wolfe!
A Wonderful couple to talk with! Click his Photo to Listen to him tell it!




He said he was going to hang on to the car in case one of his kids wanted it some day! ( smile) I asked him if he thought they would ever have the nerve to come and ask for it... He just smiled!

Now I know just how far my car is from being in a class with these guys! Gives me something to shoot for! Here he shows us a Book he has with the original advertizement for his car. The one in the picture looks Exactly like the one in Belleview Saturday! in fact, I think the one in Belleview looked better!

A MONSTER LIVES UNDER THE HOOD OF THIS CAR!






NOW PROFFULA FOUND HIS CAR TOO! He Learned to Drive in a car like this one he said! I think I heard him say that he thought this one was a little bit nicer than the one he drove though!


Well folks i have several more pictures from the event and I will just post them here and bid everyone a wonderfull Lords Day !

IN Christ
Around Belleview!
Mike
