33 Coupe Having Fun 17       06/21/15

On May 30th we went to the 24nd Annual Optimist Car Show and chili cook off. This show is held at Sylvan Park in Redlands, CA. which is one of our favorite shows because it's on the grass.

This show typically brings in lots of cars but this weekend there happened to be a few different shows going on (that I knew of) so the car count was down a little. The weather turned out to be really nice once the fog and clouds burned off. This time of year we get a strong marine layer that reaches inland over 100 miles at times which makes the mornings very foggy and cloudy. But by early to late morning the clouds give way to sunshine and the marine layer helps to keep the temps down which most people really like. Speaking of the weather the temp only got into the low 80's which was perfect if you ask me.

This show has lots of venders, a live band that played some oldies and lots of classic rock, plenty of choices for food, games for the kids, and a beer garden. Now this show use to be held in late June which wasn't much fun when it got over 100 degrees outside so they moved it to late May which has worked out for the last seven years now.

I posted over 100 pictures for this show so now would be a good time to get comfortable and let's check out some of the 300 plus cars that came out for this show.

This is from the car above: I'm not sure what this is (arrow) but it looks like some sort of shutoff switch.
