33 Coupe Having Fun 8       7/1/09

The 18th annual Optimist car show and chili cook off was held on July 18th at Sylvan Park in Redlands. This show brings in a lot of really nice cars and trucks of all kinds and this year was no different from the last.

The gates opened at 7am and we showed up soon after. There are lots of venders selling food, shirts, etc, a beer garden, chili cook off (which seems weird because it's the middle of summer), a live band played most of the day along with fun and games for the kids.

With temps right around the century mark and the humidity near 50%, this made for a hot day...even if you were in the shade. Lets start off the show with this beautiful 56 Chevy that caught the eye of just about everyone that passed by.
 

 

 

Notice the firewall dedicated to some of our guys that never made it back from the war. This was a work of art and had to be seen to really be appreciated.
 

 

 

These skulls were great looking along the side of this car.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now here's a quick way to ruin a muscle car, put some wagon wheels on them.
