Pittsburgh C.A.R.S. 2005 Summer Picnic
I recently joined a local car club called the Pittsburgh C.A.R.S. Stands for Classics, Antiques, Rods, and Specialty, kind of a way to cater to all. A friend from work is the treasurer and after attending last winter's Pittsburgh International Dragway Reunion and Hall of Fame induction ceremony which was put on by the Pittsburgh C.A.R.S. folks I knew they had their act together and were an organization worth looking into. Today was their annual "Summer Picnic." It was a BYOB covered dish type of affair and everyone in attendance was incedibly cordial and welcoming to me as a new member. I just thought I'd mention it in case anyone in the Pittsburgh area would be interested in club information. Here's a link to their website. Pittsburgh C.A.R.S. Also, I'll post some pics of some local members rides. Pretty cool stuff.

Heres a 68 Beaumont SD396. One of something like 600 built. All original Nova Scotia car with one repaint. It's a Pontiac color called "Sequoia Green" but looks alot like '70 Chevrolet Shadow Grey. The jambs have never even been painted, they were backtaped when it was shot years ago. Super cool car, and Don the owner was a real nice guy too.

Lots of neat oddball stuff on these cars for Chevelle guys to scratch their heads at, like the Tempest inspired hubcaps with Beaumont only logo. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/hmmm.gif

Seems like this was a popular color in '70 for all of the big 3. Green is keen.

Dig the "Day 2" decklid. The rest of the car had been painted, but the decklid wore vintage weatherchecked and cracking lacquer. Just looked totally 70's van era though. Now that's the way to a Mopar freak's heart.

This is an 18,000 mile totally original car. Sold new at Valley Motors in Ambridge, PA. Looks brand new. The current owner bought it from the original owner in 2001 and has been showing and enjoying the car since. Super color combo IMO. Red stripes on the rear too. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Nice clean cars though, even if they did wear pentastars.

Does that mural trunklid read "Greg Of Akron". If it is it's historic. He's the '70's equivealant of the 50's Von Dutch.
BTW: He painted Akron Arlen Vankes cars. |

Re: Pittsburgh C.A.R.S. 2005 Summer Picnic
The air cleaner lid on the Impala looked to be a custom billet piece. I think the idea was to syle it after the wheels. It was a very tastefully executed custom throughout.
You're right Frank, they were nice cars...especially for all being local western PA dwellers. There's definitely a strong interest going for the Mopar cars, but there are a few Chevy guys in the club with super clean rides too. It's just too bad all the toys have to go away for 6 months a year around here. |

Also known as "pie crust" whitewalls. Looks even better when there's a pair of pie crust slicks in back.

Would a ticket for popping a wheelie fall under wreckless driving or exhibition of speed? Either way it'd be worth the ticket.
