Midlothian Classic Wheels Cruise in, Waxahachie TX

Spent a few hours in the hellish Texas weather to attend this show and takes some videos. I exported the chosen images, hope they look decent.

If y'all see anything in a background that I missed or you want a still of it let me know and I'll try to get it off the video for you and post it here.

Dan, you are a tougher guy than I am. No way I am doing this heat. There is a show tomorrow nearby but not going. Just too damn hot. If it ain't fun, I am not going to do it. As mentioned, at least there was some shade. Nice cars.

Yes guys
It was hot but most of the area was in shade and there was a pavilion where the sponsoring club set up too. They provided free water which was thoughtful and I accepted one, need to stay hydrated.
The local club that hosted the event did a great job, they had 57 entries. I didn't take pictures of all of them.
I liked that there were different vehicles not commonly seen. Most notably the White tractor, it was starting up and that is what got my attention. He left early and luckily my video somehhow turned out as a few still pictures, unfortunatley I was a ways away. Then there was the AMC Matador, the Buick Invicta, the Dodge Phoenix (Canadian badged), the Mercury Comet, the old pre-war Oldsmobile, and finally a one-of-one casket car.

Thank you for the effort posting the pictures etc. As always so many to comment on. That 68 GTO your first picture I really like. Love the colors. Nice to see a Matador make a showing. Not sure I could drive a coffin car like that rod. I have lost too many on the roads.

No I do not have a clue. I never got close enough as it was leaving. I did see it from the opposite side of the show earlier but thought that I would have time to go over and get a closer look. I have a feeling it might have been early to mid sixties but I really don't know.
I was wrong, just did a search and found this image of a '74 White Road Boss, looks real close.
