Veterans Car Show

(Truth or Consequences NM)
A friend and I went to see the Annual Veterans Car Show. There was a good variety of old cars and trucks from most eras, and even a couple of motorcycles. My favorites tend to be the ones from the 1930s to 1950s.

Some were restored to original, but most were customized or updated in some ways. It was nice to see the imagination and craftsmanship of the owners; from classic to way out there.

A couple of hours was spent checking them out, and taking lots of photos. Shots of interiors, exteriors, details, and overviews were taken. It was hard to choose which ones to be shared in this post.

I had a blast being reminded of no longer seen things like wide white-wall tires, extensive use of chrome, hood ornaments, steel dashboards, and rumble seats (yes, I even rode in one as a child).

We looked at the food venders to get a bite to eat, but all had long lines. Instead, we went down the road a short way to a Mexican café for lunch. I had a great time walking down memory lane.
