33 Coupe Having Fun 57       6/1/10

One of the nicer shows in our area is the Redlands Professional Firefighters car show and this one was their 14th annual held on May 16th. The show hours ran from 8:00am to 3:00pm but we arrived right before 6:30 to get a good spot.

There was a pancake breakfast that started at 7am, a huge raffle, 50/50 drawing and there were lots of food and refreshments. The weather that day was really nice with temps topping out in the high 70's but we ran into some really thick fog on our way over. Larry was only two hundred feet in front of me and every now and then, he disappeared into the mist which had me watching my mirror.

The show didn't have as many cars as normal because there were a few different car shows going on that day. And I heard that this show almost didn't happen for some reason which is why we didn't get our entry form sent to us till the last minute. One thing that makes this show nice is that it's held in the old section of Redlands and the streets are lined with trees all making for a nice event.

 

I took a gang of pictures so get a good seat and lets check out the show.
 

 

 

This firetruck was build in 1919 and had a lot of history behind it.
 

 

 

Check out the chain drive system and the worn out solid tires.
 

 

 

I don't know if you can read this sign or not but one thing that struck me funny was the huge engine (675 cubic inches) and it made less than 53 horsepower.
 

 

 

This fully dressed Harley was looking good and had a tribute to the World Trade Center on his air cleaner cover.
 

 

 

I remember when a Yamaha 305 was something special back in the late 60's. This one was super clean and brought back some memories.
 

 

 

Speaking of two wheels, this guy was cruising up and down the street early in the morning before everyone arrived. I'd like to try riding one of these someday to see how they are because every time I see one, they still amaze me.
