Did you catch the 1962 Chevy Bel Air in Impala trim? The "bubble top" roof style was not available on the Impala in 1962, only the Bel Air. The picture shows 6 tail lights vice 4 and Impala side trim. The Bel Air trim was much narrower. The car is cool none the less but incorrect.
If that is the car I am thinking then its from here. The guy had the top added to his impala. Should have a 409 with ugly (IMO) aftermarket valve covers if its my guy..
I don't remember what engine it had. I'm thinking Corvette. I'd think that swapping the roof would be one heck of a hard job. There were two other Chevys there, both with 409s but I'm pretty sure they were 61s with that roof which is correct for a 61. There were a surprising large number of cars with Corvette fuel injected engines in them including a 1949 Ford. The Pontiac Cheiftan wagon was all original, never restored and it was great.
I tried to capture all the wagons. I was surprised that there were more than a couple. As you can tell I like pickups too.

That just made me downright homesick. (Seriously - great pictures - looks like a wonderful show). In the 1970s, my dad belonged to the Owens Valley Antique Auto Club there in Bishop - we had a lot of fun with a bunch of old, beat cars. Back then, no one really fixed them up like they do now, except for the Model A guys. Here's a picture from around 1980 of my wagon on Bishop Creek Road. And of me on the fender of my dad's 1934 Ford around 1976 at one of the car "shows" we had back then - this is down at Schober Camp Ground (now Brown's). We used to get together to drive around the valley, then had a picnic somewhere along the way - very low key - very few visitors ever came around to look at the cars. It was a different world, wasn't it?
