A Full Weekend
 

Beautiful Fall Weekend in the Midwest and perfect weather for a number of events in our area. Friday thru Sunday was the Route 66 Festival in Springfield. We made the 50 mile trip to watch the Parade that kicks off the event. Don & Judi Stowers and Rick & Annie opted to join the parade and we hooked up with them afterward. Some random shots taken at around sunset. I had to ditch many of the shots because the lighting caused a bit of lag time in the camera and I got some 'partial' shots of the cars. Anyway, I guess a few is better than none so here we go.

We fully intended to go home early but decided at the last minute to tag in with the parade bunch and head downtown to stroll around. We parked about three blocks from the main group and met up with Stowers' and Rick & Ann. Forgot to bring the camera! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/crazy.gif When the crowd started to clear I brought the Nova up and parked next to Annie. THEN, walked around the corner and grabbed a few more shots.

And here's the Buick. This thing had all new chrome and stainless, and an LS powerplant. Made you https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/hmmm.gif, but cool all the same. Can you imagine what it costs to plate all this?

Talked with this owner for a while earlier in the evening (before I had the camera) Original owner L-78/M22 Leeds car out of Wisconsin. (Again, poor lighting. It's Yellow; not white.) He restored it a couple of years ago. Has the Buick interior like the DH Chevelle. VERY nice car!

Re: A Full Weekend
 

That was Friday night. Saturday and Sunday was the annual Cruise Nite Weekend in Jacksonville, IL. Early afternoon is the time to actually hit the street but by 6 PM you awnt to have a place to park and either walk around to see the 'Good Stuff',............... or get the H outa Dodge.

It still draws a good number of quality cars, but the locals in their Big Ol Trucks with the Confed Flags, and the Ricer types have pretty much ruined any true "Cruisin" that used to take place. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...thumbsdown.gif

So,..... really no pics from Saturday night, but a few from the Sunday gathering in Community park.

This guy used to race at our track; and almost always in a '57 of some sort. The hauler is an old Fire Dept. truck he just converted. The Bel Air is his wife's car (so he says) and the 150 is his.

This car is for sale, along with the owners other car; a real Lemans Blue '69 Z-28. If anyone is interested I can get you info and a phone number. Both are nice cars. I've known the owner for twenty plus years and he can be trusted.
