Here’s to the station wagon

Family hauler in the day. I certainly pre-date the SUV. So every year when I circle the cars that visit my city for the annual Syracuse Nationals classic car show, I take a photo of a good, old-fashioned station wagon. And I think back to sharing a ride in the back seat with my sisters…

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.

Take a bite

What a grille. First off, the rusty orange color surely jumped out at me as I took in the arrivals in my city for this year’s edition of the Syracuse Nationals car show. I also thought over the front bumper it looks ready to take a nasty bite out of anything or anyone who might…

Build it and they will come

This sign by this beauty of a beast proudly proclaimed it as a kit car. I can imagine the time that went into building it, piece by piece.

Cheers for the two-tone

I never know what I’ll find year-to-year when I do my foot-cruise of the classic-car congregation at the Electronics Parkway parking lot. The two-tone baby caught my eye this summer. Sweet!

I can count on the classic cars every year

At a certain point of the summer, I know if I go to Kinney Drugs on Electronics Parkway, I need only walk to the adjoining parking lot to get a great view of classic cars. I right away was drawn to this lineup of Cougars. And note the stuffed Cougar on the dash of the…

Hoods up!

The parking lot of the Holiday Inn at the crossroads of Electronics Parkway and Seventh North Street is one prime place to check out the classic cars gathered for the yearly Syracuse Nationals show. Today we’ll concentrate on the autos with their lids lifted for closer inspection. Obviously, the owners want to show off the…

Better off red

The vintage cars are in town for the annual party that goes by the name of The Syracuse Nationals. When I got off from work from the library Friday, I took a quick left on Electronics Parkway. I know from the past few years that the auto owners like to gather in the lot of…
