I went to a nice local show today to support the Band Boosters at Windsor Highschool in Imperial, Missouri. This was the school district where my kids went to school and was only 6-miles from me. It was a Top 25 format show, although I suspect the lone judge essentially turned it into a Top 13 show by purposely trying to pick an equal amount of classic vs. modern cars. Regardless, I was fortunate to crack the Top 25. Hope you enjoy the pics!

Pretty cool. Thanks for posting the pictures. I really like the looks of your car Chris very nice. I had a bunch of VW Bugs over the years I really like seeing them out in the wild

Thanks Keith, I really appreciate your compliment on my car. My Dad bought a new Bug in '74 as a commuter car. I drove the hell out of that car in Highschool, you couldn't make that thing quit running, plus it got around great in the Michigan Snow.
I think that's a 1953 7-window Chevrolet Thriftmaster (I owned the GMC equivalent if that's a '53). Excellent truck. That purple 1996 Chevrolet S-10 is just....weird. Thanks for sharing the pics, Chris.

Good call on the truck Norm, it's a '53. I had never heard the Model name "Thriftmaster" until I saw the badging on that truck. Really cool truck! I agree 100% on that purple S10 Blazer, it's just goofy. Glad you enjoyed the pics.
Nice pics Chris. Norm, would that Thriftmaster be the 217 C.I. that GMC shared w/Pontiac, or the 235 C.I.
Dan - I don't know. I restored that '53 GMC between 1977-1979 & I didn't do any real comparisons. The engine didn't need much work - I can't even recalled what I did with it. I know it was an inline straight-6 & I seem to recall it was the last of the 228 cid engines developed by GMC to replace the Pontiac 223 cid. At the time I was simply interested in the restoration of what I owned/bought.
