There were some German cars mixed in - BMW's, Mercedes - but the majority of the cars were British, like this E Jaguar.
And some others, familiar to drivers who loved these "sports" cars back in the 50's and 60's.
There were grinning grills . . .
. . . great lines . . .
. . . and lucious leather.
Also some funny license plates.
For those with a big budget, some big (and expensive) cars.
But I think this beautiful blue Morgan was my favorite.
All in all, a treat for the senses. You can read more about the "pit stop" in a fine article by my friend Doug Cook in the local paper.

Now THIS is blog entry to make me drool! I LOVE these old (and new) cars. We have some wonderful events here in the Dallas area, but they are static as opposed to a "tour". I would much prefer a tour. And I admire your choice of a Morgan. I saw one recently...British racing green with high quality aromatic cream-colored leather interior......just spectacular.
Thaks for sharing.

S - I fell in love with sports cars before I was old enough to drive. Finally got one - a '71 MGB - new but only had it for about a year. I did love it, though, and it was great fun to drive.
Some great rides there. My precious is an 89 Porsche Carrera that I bought new. Now 22 plus years old,but not driven in winter.
Oooohhh, yes. Have to take care of that baby.
I wish we had been there. We love to see events like this one! Well, at least we got to see your pictures.
Judy, I was looking for you at the chalkfest but guess I was a day early.
Cars dont excite me at all. However, I do love the pavement art!
I got you with one of them then, Meggie!
One of the "Triumphs" I saw would have been my pick...
Great looking pictures!
Therese - They're ALL worth having, I think.

Yes, the Stag is still a favourite here, but in 1952 I walked to school every day past a car lot that featured a Morgan three wheeler. I would stop and drool. Out front of the bonnet was a transversely mounted air cooled V twin (like a bigger Harley) that drove its one rear wheel via a chain.
Thanks for the reminders and Happy Birthday!
Thanks, Stafford!
