With unseasonably warm weather, car show season has begun in southern Indiana. I powered up my old Monte Carlo and went to nearby Boonville for their high school's show. Very well done show, the concessions were cheap and good, the music was a very pragmatic zoomer's "let's find a top 70s and 80s music list and play it" selection, and there were 125 cars.

Two Oldsmobiles, a minivan and a 69 442.

The odd looking blue car is a Kellerman body kit on a 58 Corvette chassis with a 70 big block. Edit: KALLISON Editx2: KELLISON even, ugh.

The 71 green Monte Carlo was nice and the owner and I talked a lot; I have a pic of it and mine in the background.

Edit: I hung out with the judges some. My old heap got a 10 of 10 interior, 7.5 under the hood, 7 trunk, and 10 paint. I thought that was pretty nice judging especially the paint. Got me a top 25, so top 20%, I'll take it.

 

 

OMG a Vega Station Wagon. Thanks for sharing. Gorgeous weather for a show.

 

Thanks for sharing the pics.

 

Those high school kids appear to be digging that 59 Edsel wagon. Maybe it has sown a seed.

It's been a long time since any of the local high schools hosted a fundraiser car show. Probably due to lack of older car people to help with it as much as anything.

 

John - Nice pics, thanks for sharing. Pretty cool the Monte got a Top 25!

 

"The Cadillac of minivans..."

 

So cool to see car shows going on. There are so.e cool cars to comment on. Is that Monte factory green? I was in love with a teacher once that had a factory green Monte Carlo. I too dig the Vega wagon and the Edsel.
Thanks for posting everything. I love the diversity.

Damn that red 69 442 looks like a beautiful car.
