As it turned out, lots of folks accepted that mission,
because as is often the case with this one, the cars were lined all the way
around the courthouse on both sides of the street. Sure, it was a little on the muggy side
early, but the temperature dropped a bit eventually, and everyone seemed to be
having a great time enjoying all the cool cars.
This cruise draws in way more cars than many organized car shows, and that kind of participation results in a great variety of cars and trucks to look at. Everything from high-end muscle cars, to '50s cruisers, to full-on classics make seem to make the trip north.
Plus, it's only fitting that they hold a car cruise in a
town named Liberty on Memorial Day
weekend. They even played the National
Anthem.
One of the breakaway standouts was a black-over-black 1967 Buick
Other interesting cars included a '58 Plymouth
that looked like it was right out of the movie Christine, an excellent '57 Ford
two-door sedan, a neat little lowered '55 Chevy sedan, and a whole bunch of old
trucks, Mustangs, Camaros, and Corvettes.
And speaking of trucks, I had my old beater out there for
the first time this year. I actually had
been driving it to work this spring after I got it out of storage, but now that
the weather is getting hotter, I think I'll drive something with an air
conditioner to work and leave the 2-55 a/c for the cruise nights.
Let's face it; I don't always have a great feel for what
people like. That's why there are
pictures that accompany this article.

ReplyDeleteSome really great cars there; that Riv is indeed fantastic. As is that silver 68 Chevy pickup. And the pre 74 Corvettes. and that 64 Ford wagon. Oh, the 66/67 Fairlanes were great too. And the Novas. Of course the 62 Impalas rate a mention as well as that black Deuce. And, and, and...
I was going thru the photos again, taking a little better note of a few and looking closer at the early Mustangs, Camaros and Firebirds, as well as that green F1 panel, and I noticed that my eyebrows raised and my pulse quickened noticeably at the 71/72 Blazer that was pictured driving by. Is that wrong? :)
