Cheers to the station wagon

Can lug a family of five. It’s a good thing to come along a station wagon that reminds you of what your father used to haul your mom and your sisters around Long Island in the way, way back.

Cheers for 340

Great color combo. The beige 340 looked sleek compared to some of the longer models gathered in the hotel lot next to the McDonald’s. I bet it’s had some fun miles under its wheels.

Classic white

Cheers to the long Chevy. The powerful looking white Chevrolet certainly looked sharp, awaiting what was to come on classic car weekend in Syracuse.

Go big blue

That’s a paint job. The blue stripes on this baby most certainly caught my eye as I appreciated the classic cars collected in the hotel lot next to the McDonald’s.

To the wayback

A real beauty. A crowd was gathering around this red beauty in the hotel parking lot next to the McDonald’s. It was so wonderfully restored, I thought.

I must seek out the classic cars

So well maintained. It’s a big weekend in Central New York when the classic cars roll back in for the Syracuse Nationals event.

So long for now

Setting up a cool sky. Something about the whitewall tires and gorgeous violet body color that stretched from here to there made those billowy clouds past the Destiny USA parking lot look even more interesting, I thought as I looked through my Syracuse Nationals classic car photos.

I remember compact cars in the day

Long ago. Hey, I said to another guy walking around the Syracuse Nationals car show registration parking lot at Destiny USA, remember when we considered this size compact cars? He smiled, obviously my age and that’s why I could make that comment about a car that starts back there and goes to up here.
