2010 Syracuse Nationals

Are there any forum members going to Syracuse Nationals next weekend? I will be there and would love to meet any forum members that might go. It's a large show (7130 cars last year - the link is http://www.rightcoastcars.com/syracuse-nationals.php ) open to anything 1980 and older. I'll be camping on the grounds, and if a few other members are going, I'll plan a free hotdog and drink lunch one of the afternoons...

Any takers???

 

2010 Syracuse Nationals Pics

Well, no takers for free hotdogs, but I did see some beautiful wagons. The show was insanely fun, and I still can't believe everything I saw...

This isn't even 1/4 of the wagons there, but it gives you an idea of the show. Be sure to look in the background of the pics also - lots to see!!!

These cars were at a local Cruise-in we went to on Thursday night...








I love the contrast between the outside (above) and the engine (below)



This Malibu was really beautiful...

 

More pics

There were many Nomads represented from mild:


To WILD:

 

Yeah...there's more...





Be sure to tune in to see the above Vega...









It's not a wagon, but I can't resist posting this - In the "Too much is never enough category"...







This was another exceptional car... I loved the license plate...









For you scale wagon lovers...



And of course - the best car of the whole show...



I will work on a link to a guy doing crazy smoke shows with his Malibu wagon... He had fun, we had more fun watching, and it went home on a wrecker... Good times!!!

 

How cool! I really like the Rambler, I'm a pushover for a nice inline 6.

 

Here are a couple of video links for the Malibu wagon. You had to be there to experience it first hand, but it was pretty amazing...

Thanks for the great pics, 442. Hey, ya got any more?! It looks like it was an outrageous time with some excellent cars. I am definitely sorry I missed it. Oh, by the way, that '63 Ford Country Sedan was the exact same color and model of our family wagon back then.

 

Thanks for the photos 442. Good to see so many wagons represented.

 

I have tons more - I just posted the wagon pics. I'll try to post up some of the others for anyone interested later tonight... That '63 was cool - wish I'd gotten a better pic of it. I was surprised that I didn't see more Ford wagons... Most were GM for some reason.

 

Thanx for posting the pics. Post all you want.

 

Must have been a great show....
Interesting your comment on the lack of Fords there. I noticed the same thing at the show in Roseburg, Oregon last weekend. If not for a good showing of 40's Ford trucks, there wouldn't have been many Fords at all....

 

Non-wagon cars from Syracuse

This is the sky view of the fairgrounds - approx. 7500 cars at this show!!!



Cruising to the show...



Following a couple friends, one towing my camper for me...



We're a serious bunch!!!



This was a miniture vw powered rat rod pickup at the Thursday Cruise-in:







This was a cool (and unusual) pair:





This is what you call a "field fresh" rat rod:

 

2010 Challenger convertible - I love the Foose wheels on this...



The G-Force Cuda (sold at Barrett Jackson for $650,000)!!!





This was Evel Knievel's custom made truck/Caddy. It was for sale in the Car Corral (no price listed):



Andy Taylor's police car...



My favorite truck at the show!





Now that's long hair!!!

 

442's rear windows

Hey 442, in that last photo, it looks like your right rear passenger window is down. Could it be? I had a '78 CC woody, and those body styles had fixed rear passenger windows. (Wagon's looking shiny too. )
