My Second Car Show this week and the Fifth of the season Oyster Bay Cruise Night was held Tuesday night June 25th in our quaint little town.

It was a fun-filled evening with lots of Classic cars showing up. Enjoy, Mario.

Lets see, I think I will take the 55 Chev Bel Air and the 59 Chev Impala. Mario, you are starting to make me jealous of your amazing local cruise night. I wish it was not so far from me, because I would love to take it in. Cheers buddy.

You are Always welcome here George and if you can make it to Long Island we will have a blast my friend!

I will continue posting the Cruise Night shows in the meantime for your pleasure.

I always go for the 55 and 59 Chevys too. We have a lot in common. Cheers to you, Mario

Whoa whoa whoa, just a minute here Mr. Mario. Let me get this straight, you went to a 500 car show and then turn around and go to this street venue one? All in the same week? What is your birth sign? A Rabbit's FOOT?

I am going all out on the 37 Chevy Street Rod Race Car because it looks so wrong among all the others that it has to be right. I grew up on Sprint Car and dirt track racing and late modified and to me, that Hot Rod just ooozes that theme.

Yes I did see my fav 50 Ford Woodie with the paint and the GTO with the paint and the NOVA.......oh wait, hmmmm there's NO NOVA here.

Turn on the Bat Signal, there's trouble here in Gotham City.

Now the 1940 with the Chevy Ralleye Wheels did catch my eye. Brave owner who does that stuff.

I guess if you won't pay George's airfare to come see these shows I'm sure my airfare is out of bounds.

So I'll just keep an eye on your threads and if enough threads are produced WITHOUT a NOVA......I know people in low places. They live in DC.

You have a very good eye Rob catching that 40 Ford with Chevy Rally Wheels. That took a lot of doing but it does look good.

And the 37 Chevy Street Rod Race Car was out of sight. The tires alone must cost a fortune. I agree it looks out of place, it belongs on a dirt track not in a street fair. I like his plate 37MODIFIED, it certainly is. The rails around the car are smart and useful in racing.

We had a dirt track out in Riverhead LI and also a figure 8 that I used to go to. They since made it asphalt. It's been there since 1949 and still open. Here's the website: https://www.riverheadraceway.com/

I'll look out for Chevy Novas haven't seen too many lately. Anything for a Fan! Cheers my AZ friend, stay cool. Mario

Rob, you forever crack me up. I wish I could meet more folks like yourself. Your amazing sence of humor will forever keep you young. Cheers buddy.

Mario on Jun 27, 2024 said:

I agree with you George! Rob has a wonderful sense of humor. You never know where he's going with it!

He's our Western brother from Tucson! I wonder if he's quick on the draw. Cheers, Mario

Mario, I checked to see how long it would take me to get to Oyster Bay from where I am. It is 8.5 hours with no traffic. A bit of a haul to say the least and you know there is going to be traffic everywhere from here to there. Sadly I will never see it. When I was younger I would have ventured off during some time off. Now that I am older, more tired and retired. I could not imagine doing it. I will do it vicariously through your A.T. postings. Cheers.

That's a bit of a drive 8.5 hours at our age and I understand. But my posts are a lot easier to visit so no worries.

I've been to many parts of Canada in the past on vacation with wife and kids. It's a bit of a haul and I was a lot younger back then.

You have a beautiful Country and I've learned a lot just from your posts and in your comments. Cheers to you my friend, Mario

I am not greedy but I forgot to mention that I will also take the 65 Corvair and the 58 Chev Bel Air, also maybe the 55 Ford Crown, just for good measure. Cheers.

Don't worry George you're not being greedy, you can have all the cars you want as far as I'm concerned! Us car guys are in it til the end! And all good choices too. Cheers, Mario
