The old girl Tilly made it to the last car show of the season. It was a beautiful day at the lake.
Cars were parked all along the Lakeshore Drive.
We got a good spot this time, easy to get into and out of. It was a bit windy but nice next to the lake.
Far Guy and his cousin Tommy. Far Guy talked to many people...and saw some guys that he used to work with.
We met another fellow and his wife who also had a Desoto...theirs was a 1960 Desoto.
He told me he bought the fenders skirts from a guy in California.
It was a fun afternoon/evening...we got home just before dark.
We stopped for gas on the way home...Tilly gets 11 miles per gallon.

What fun!
ReplyDeleteTilly sure is a beauty. So glad you made it to the car show and had a good time.
ReplyDeleteAwww that is neat! Looks like it was a pretty day. Love the blue skies and water.
ReplyDelete11 miles to the gallon, it has been a few years since I drove something like that!
What a nice thing to take Tilly to, where she can see her relatives! It looks like it was a great day. :-)
ReplyDeleteThat sounds (and looks) like a perfect day in a perfect spot.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty spot to spend the day - along with lots of other "car guys & gals". It's great that your husband feels up to doing this again after a rough summer.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like fun! For Tilly, too--LOL! ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous day!!!
ReplyDeleteWoah, Tilly is a gas guzzler by today’s standards! Of course, gas was cheap Way Back When. I can remember gas wars when it was 25c a gallon!
ReplyDeleteOh what a lovely day. We have to take advantage of these types of days while we still have them, as they will be gone for another year before we blink. ~Andrea xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteI miss the car shows. Two summers without in my area. My inlaws have a lovely Studebaker about the same color as your DeSoto. Not sure of the year. They had another one in a lovely charcoal grey but have since sold it.
ReplyDeleteGood looking cars! Glad to hear you and FarGuy had a good time. Was the show in DL?
ReplyDeleteYes!
DeleteBoth so pretty!
ReplyDeleteIt's so much fun to be out and about with a bunch of like-minded folks!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you two had a good time. Thanks for sharing the photos.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cars and a lovely way to spend the day with like-minded people.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like it was a fine day for a car show and both of you had an enjoyable time.
ReplyDeleteTilly is looking quite spiffy! Fun times by a lovely lake.
ReplyDeleteNow that looks like FUN! I'm so glad Far Guy felt up too it. 11 mpg! That sounds like what we used to get pulling our big trailer!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Betsy
Such a good day out
ReplyDeleteCar shows are interesting and fun.
ReplyDeleteTwo Desoto cars in one spot is pretty cool. It did look like an ideal place for the show.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun day at a car show. That Tilly is a looker!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you both had a very enjoyable day :)
ReplyDeleteAnd does it burn premium?
ReplyDeleteNon Oxygenated Premium:)
DeleteWhat a fun day for you both! I'm happy for you that the weather was so nice too. I bet Far Guy loves talking with all the other guys about their collector cars. It looks like Tilly had fun too!
ReplyDeleteThis post makes me SMILE! I am so happy that you both had a good time! And there was another Desoto there this time, that is awesome! We also burn premium in the "Cruising" car! See you next summer at the car show!
