Default High River show and shine

Here in High River we had our annual show and shine. The downtown area is closed off to traffic and the streets are lined with classic cars. Due to the crappy weather there wasn't as many nice cars as there was in the past. Last year we had about 600 cars show up. Anyhoo here's a sample of some of the pics I took

Couldn't figure out why someone would want to soup up an Intrepid

I was actually going to go down to this but bailed due to weather/English report due tomorrow.

I'm not a huge fan of this Intrepid, but I've got to respect the fact that this would take so much work!

I would be really hesitant to tackle a project like that....

You didn't miss much. A lot of nice cars that were here last year didn't show up - especially the convertables. Lots of people showed up and most were shivering in the cold.

I looked for the owner and was going to question him on why he chose an Intrepid, but couldn't find him.

Tell me he called that Intrepid something cool like "Sintrepid".

Love the Challenger and the grey Chevelle. Wish the Challenger wasn't pink of course.

My uncle in Kalispell has a real nice Roadrunner and also a 67 Chevelle convertible. I wonder if he's ever hit that show.

People were gasping at the pink color

The Chevelle was probably the best car there. The interior was also immaculate. Definately a sweet ride!

Bad weather is ruining all the big car shows this year. What a brutal summer, seemed like it only lasted a couple months.

To be fair, holding a car show at the end of September is a crap shoot at best and begging for cancellation at worst.

Still looks like a taxi cab.

Is that a fare guide stuck in the back window?
