Car show, Cerberus

Well, long time no write!

On Sunday I had the opportunity to snap a few pics at a local car show, so I did. There were a couple very interesting cars, but we’ll get to that later.

First off I’ll touch on Chrysler being freed from Daimler’s thumb. Huzzah!! For one brief moment I’d like to just revel in the possibilities, the chance of a newly (and truly) independent Chrysler Corporation, one that’s lean and able to quickly adjust to changing markets, one that has its corporate fingers on the pulse of the markets in which they enter.

Ah, nice.

Unfortunately that’s not yet reality. There’s a lot of harm to reverse, a lot of ground to be retaken. There’s the UAW negotiations, which will be key. There’s the marketing, which needs to be addressed. And of course, there’s the product; opinions of which vary but there’s no doubt much improvement can be had. In no way do I think Chrysler is near out of the woods, but at least now they have every chance to start moving in the right direction.

On to the metal:

Here’s a nice 1951 DeSoto. I don’t see these often at shows, and this one is in nice shape.

Moving up 10 years, and one of the stars of the show, a 1961 300G!

This is a beauty. That’s a 10 year old paint job, and it looks showroom.

The rear of the car. Hmm, something about those switches on the center console….

Power window switches! I never knew about that. Our PT’s have a link to this car, how cool!

One more car to show, one I’ve never seen in person before:

Viper GTS ACR!

Had to get a nice shot of the graphics.

And wrapping it up with the mighty V10!

Hope you enjoyed….
