Yakima Vintiques Car Show 2010 - No Dial-Up Allowed! :)
Posted: Sun Aug 01, 2010 9:32 pm
I dragged my wife and daughter to the Vintiques show yesterday. I was wrapping up my picture taking just as the rain started.... Felt bad for all the guys rushing to cover up their prized toys. Some really nice cars and trucks there.

















I have a soft spot for the '57 Ford.

I prefer mine of the 4x4 persuasion, but it's still so sweet.


Doesn't have to be a Nomad to be cool!

This is the best adaption of a late-model bed I've ever seen. I actually had to look twice to figure it out. (Not to shabby under the hood either. Peter would be proud!)




Powered by a GM Quad-4. Nice!


I didn't recognize this little pint-sized vehicle. Looked like it may have been a kit or something. There was a picturebook with this and it had been restored from a rusted out hulk.

A couple of really 'dignified' hot rods.




Dump trucks can be cool! A polished stainless steel bed? Wow!


Yeah baby, a wagon!

Elky! How low can you go?...

I'd have snapped it because it is a Nomad. But a straight 6 is bitchin'!


Pinto powered!


A row of Rats! (First one is hemi-powered!)


Ryan likes the short ones!


YEAH BABY! This one is SO MUCH nicer than mine. Has custom A/C too... something mine will get in time.

This one seemed to have all the right off-road parts, but is too clean to take into the dirt. I don't dig the black wheels either.

It's a wagon, of course I snapped a picture of it!

Doesn't that stuffed dog next to the kid look real?!


Different. Fiero drivetrain?



Even Ramblers can be cool.

After the two Broncos, if I could just take one vehicle away from this show, this is it.

As I approached from the front, I was saying WTF? Turns out it is sitting on a Toyota chassis. The rear wheels need to slide back a touch, but still pretty neat.


My favorite wagon of the show.

It was starting to rain as I snapped this pic. This guy had a pretty nice set-up!

Old Skool tires!



Some potential projects...
Needs a 4x4 conversion!

This looks like it could be cool... Kind of a cross between Mad Max and a pre-runner style maybe?

In the swap meet area. Old motorcycle conversion kit car. Would be a fun project too....


A lot of really nice models in the contest.
