Musclecar Photographs mrays

Here are a few photos from the Cavalcade of Wheels in South Bend IN. I'm not a big fan of indoor car shows like this since most of the cars are roped off and have signs and other stuff all around them. That all makes it kind of hard to take a good picture.

G. Elpers' 46 Chevy pickup with a 6.1L Hemi was featured in several magazines.



N. Pinto's 40 Ford sedan was a Ridler Great 8 Finalist in 2009.




A. Love's 56 210 with an AL 582 putting out close to 1,000hp was also a Ridler Great 8 Finalist. He has since sold it and it is in a private museum locally.





A. Love's 55 Bel Air was originally built back in the 80's and featured in several magazines at that time. He then sold it and built several other tri-fives including the above 56. A couple of years ago I saw that it was going to the Auburn fall auction and mentioned that to him when I saw him at a local cruise-in. He went down there and bought the car back. It only had 2 or 3 miles put on it in the 25 years or so since he had sold it. He spend a lot of time cleaning and detailing it and made some upgrades to the suspension and wheels and tires. Other than that the car is exactly how it was when it was built around 30 years ago.
