There is one problem with moving... I misplaced my camera cable... found!
My apologies for the delay... But here are the pictures. This was a Chevy and Corvette show. They had about 120 cars show. The blue 62 Nova is one sick car... 555ci big block... dual quads... louder than hell. The Vettes were really neat... a blue 63 with fuel injection and red interior. STRIKING to say the least. Not many cars can pull that off, and this car pull it off with grace. A sweet green 67 with white interior. Very nice, 400hp 427. If the C6r looks familier, it is a tribute car built for SEMA. It has been in a number of magazines. Very nicely finished. Enjoy!!!

In Downey, there is an old, 60's-style burger joint called Frisco's (similar to the old Ricky and Ronnies, but smaller). Thought maybe that was the venue. They host a Weds night cruise-in that, for some reason, I am never able to attend. |

Oh, sounds like maybe the old location oh Johnie's Broiler, the site of many a movie location (American History X, The Game, Matchstick Men, Heat, many, many others). Haven't been to Downey in half of forever. Didn't realize they did anything with that site. Nonetheleast, I digress. Beautiful cars!

Yea... it happens... The clouds come off the ocean, but all they do is make things dreary.
We do get rain, but normally it is from October to March, with the majority of it in Jan/Feb. Where we live, Torrance, is VERY close to the Santa Monica Bay, and we get quite a bit of drizzle and light rain that comes in from heavy fog. Also, here in Torrance, when you hear it is 95 in LA, or 120 in Palm Springs, it is more than likely only 75-80 here. Gotta love microclimates!  |

Thanks Bogus.
That Frisco's place in Downey, off of Woodruff, had been sold to Pete's Burgers a while ago. I think they still try to get cars there but it just isn't the same. |
