A Village Car Show

It was a beautiful morning and the village I was in was celebrating the summer day with road races (for runners) and a parade with antique cars as part of the menagerie.

They gathered at the village museum arriving in ones and twos.  

The first to arrive was a bit of a rat rod based on a Ford Model A.

It was very creative an sported the badges of many of the popular sources of aftermarket performance parts of the early hot rod era.

Another Model A soon showed up.

These painted wheels became part of the Model A color scheme after owners started painting their wheels on their own.  Like many options on todays cars they originated from the creativity of car owners that wanted a bit of individuality in their rides.

Rumble seats and pin striping accented these roadsters.

Two more pulled up.  These two owners were part of the Model A Ford Club of Cape Cod.

The wheels were all painted an accent color.

But there weren’t just Model A’s…

Car people gathered and had a fine time chatting about cars. 

Later, at one in the afternoon, when many more had gathered, the parade was kicked off and the residents of the village enjoyed a glimpse back into the history of the motor car.
