Wagons at local cruise tonight and a Roadmaster Estate Wagon with rear skirts!

Did any of you notice the 2 different front-end treatments in those 2 pics of Pat's RMW? Second one is after he did the sedan nose conversion (I personally like the look of the sedan front end much better) Also note how he incorporated the Buick fender 'vents' into the upper molding....... Very classy.

 

Actually they are 2 different cars, but the owner of the top car pictured was inspired by Pats sedan nosed car.

 

Were you one of the members teasing me about my missing "V" . I'm slowly getting even. Just wait till I get into those other computer keyboards.

 

I neuer said a word, but I sure thought about it.

 

I see your keyboard is back to normal now. You've lost your French acccent.

 

Oops. Silly me. Thought they were the same wagon. I knew the 2nd one was Pat's. Just assumed the top pic was from 'before'. Now that I'm looking, the mirrors are different.

 

Here are some more wagons and other cars from tonights cruise...

1957 Country Squire...



1956 Chevy wagon...



This is not a wagon, but a BEAUTY!! A LOADED Pontiac Bonneville Brougham sedan. I am guessing this is a 1980-81 model? This car was loaded to the max and like new inside and out!! An elderly couple was setting behind it.



1960 Buick LeSabre 2dr hdtp...



Some kind of old Ford...



Interior of a LOADED and I mean LOADED '69 Camaro...





89-94? Thunderbird with a 49-50 Ford front-end and back-end.







and of course the Squire on the next street over...



Just slipping this one in here... ehe car below is a late 80s Caprice that I snapped on the way home from work the other day... looks like it has never been washed, it had an inch of moss and mold on it. lol.



On the way back home, driving by the Bristol Motor Speedway, which is hosting the Irwin Tools 500 tonight, just so happened the race was about to be in progress, so not much traffic to deal with and the fighter jets were passing overhead as we were driving by...

 

This is an '81 model. Appears to have the same grill as mine. (As far as I know, the center grill area is the only way to tell the '80 and '81 apart....)
This one appears to be well-equipped. Cornering lights, brougham package, probably a power passenger seat - not of which I have on my Safari.



That's funny. I was watching the race and saw the fly-by. Bunch of little put-puts........

 

Thanks. Yeah, I was thinking it was either a '80 or '81 model. I love the front-end styling on these Pontiacs. This car was a beauty. The interior was a beige color and very plush. The car appeared to be loaded to the maximum! I noticed power locks, power windows, tilt, cruise, A/C, power antenna, vinyl top and cornering lights.

It looked as if the car had 38K actual miles on it and appeared to be wearing the original black paint that is gleaming as you can see. The photos do not do this car justice. You can also see the owners in the back there... could be the original owners.

Yeah, we timed it right to get the pics, heading home from the cruise. I only live around 4 miles from the BMS track. 170K people flooded out of here about 2 hours ago... I imagine traffic is still heavy... most of the motorhomes will leave out tomorrow and Monday. I managed to make it to the truck race on Wednesday evening.
