LCCC Garage Tour, Sept. 2008 Kevin's Garage

What a perfect night for a garage tour! Our group started at Paul and Rosie's house and took off to see Kevin and Roberta's wonderful collection of cars. Many Camaros for you Camaro lovers, a few Mopar beauties (Sorry you missed it Jim!) and a few other surprises. So come along and join the tour!
We begin by driving up to a remarkable site - Kevin had most of the cars parked out front.
The first four belong to our members and the rest are our host's cars.






We all met Kevin and he tells us how he has been collecting these cars for quite some time. He does a lot of buying and selling, but I would guess Roberta says he keeps most of what he buys!


A great place to work on the cars. Plenty of room in this very large pole barn. They all fit inside when not being shown.

Couldn't believe this sharp, rare car is stored away under the overhead. I would like to have seen this one up close and personal.

Another very low mileage beauty, hidden in the dust...



Kevin says this one does the quarter mile in 11.4 seconds. Man, that is quick for a gas powered car!


As fast as all the other cars here, Kevin says this one is faster. Super Charged Lingenfelter Corvettes are fast as lightning.



They don't all come in ready to show. This one will take lots of TLC to get it in the lineup. But they all have a place here....


I can't repeat the story here, only to say this was owned by one of the "bad guys" until the Feds took it away from him. Quite a paint job, sorry but the picture of the paint did not show the beauty.



These were some very nice Mopar show cars. big engines, ready to rumble.

Classic Cars For Sale in Western Michigan fall 2008

Did you know that some owners of classic cars sell them from time to time? Can't believe these nice cars are for sale!

During the past few months, I have taken photographs of cars that show up at the shows and are marked "For Sale."
I am going to post each vehicle, the sign in the window with the information, and you can do the rest. If you have interest in the car, just call the number on the tag.
This is done as a service to my readers. I receive no payment for the listings.

























1955 Chevy Pick Up Pro Street

West Michigan Cruis'n Classics Car Show, part two.

I continue with the pictures of the West Michigan Cruis'n Classics Car Show from Sunday, September 7th. To all the participants, thank you for coming. I didn't get pictures of all the cars, but that doesn't mean I didn't like yours! Keep watching and maybe I will take your shot next time.


This trailer was all hand built by the owner. Very well done. He pulls it behind a car that has been featured a number of times on Mike's Show-N-Shine. The purple 51 Studebaker convertible. Sharp car and trailer!!

This is a fine example of a complete display. The sign tells the history of the car, its restoration and options. I like the display since the story is no longer hidden. One does not have to track down the owner to find out the facts.





I took quite a few shots of this car. The paint images were really neat. It was painted "over the top" with pictures under the hood and about every other place imaginable. Thought you might enjoy it! Go Lowriders!!

This shot was taken through my sunglass lens! I want to show how the gold just shines through in the bright sun. It was beautiful!
