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.

Now that’s gorgeous

Kept well or restored? I do believe I used to call this color car baby blue. I do know now that I will call this particular vehicle gorgeous, although I am not familiar with a Marlin other than a fish in the sea and a baseball player who calls Miami home. Anyway, I did notice…

And there were the classic cars

Charging back. I remembered that last weekend was the time for the classic cars to return to my part of the world for their annual drive-around and big park, so I ran over to admire and take photos. I’ll share my favorites over the next few days. This baby was ready to charge from the…

From up high

Should have brought my Windex. I had to take a photo through the window from the very end of the pedestrian bridge leading to the official Syracuse Nationals car show lot on Solar Street, adjacent to Syracuse mega shopping, dining and entertainment complex Destiny USA. It gives some perspective to the gathering mass that was…

It takes all sorts

Variety. Before the month is over, I remember that there is this proof of variety remaining unused in my photo roll from the Syracuse Nationals parking lot. So much style from various time periods in a row.

Now that’s a vivid green

What might this one be? I know what I like, even if I don’t know what I like. You know? While admiring the classic cars collected in the official lot for this year’s edition of the Syracuse Nationals car show, this so-green baby jumped out at me. Part car, part truck, kind of old, sort…

Classic cars look cool in the new location

The big mall looms. The Syracuse Nationals car show is set up for its new wrinkles. Central New York’s long-running summer event was purchased by Galaxy Communications between after last year’s edition, and the official hotel on Electronics Parkway closed, too. Registration and car-parking long reserved for that stretch of Liverpool is now entrenched across…

Waiting for the cars and the crowds

Seeing the ups and downs. The Syracuse Nationals car show weekend is knocking at our door. Since I scooted over to the nearby hotel parking lot to capture and share photos of parked classic cars last summer, that joint closed its doors. The official hotel for the big car show will now be the Embassy…

King of the roadster

I find some interesting examples in town for the Syracuse Nationals gathering when I stop by the local hotel parking lot. I picture this one hauling around Bonnie and Clyde-fashion wearing couples in its heyday …

Cool cars return, hooray

After a year away because COVID-19 shut everything down last summer, the vintage cars have returned to my part of the world this weekend for the big show up at the New York State Fairgrounds. So after leaving work yesterday afternoon, part of my errand list was to stop at the hotel parking lot for…
