“Papa’s Toys” is one of the largest private collections of street rods, classics, customs, race cars and special interest vehicles from 1922—1982 in the Northwest.
Well, the open house was a good time despite the weather. Morning started out sunny with a few hundred cars in the parking lot. Around 11am we all got a free car wash! Then the sun came out for the rest of the day ~ we caught the edge of a few black clouds though that dropped just a sprinkle on us.
Most of the morning crowd left with the rain, and then the afternoon crowd showed up with their cars. It was like 2 different shows in the same place, same day.
Hey, if they’ll let ME in then they’ll let in anybody, LOL!
This Rebel was for sale for $12k
Challenger club showed up in force! Local Porshe club showed up too, about 50 cars deep, but I neglected to get a pic.
This is the local White Zombie electric car that tears up the strip at PIR regularly. Zero to 60 in 1.8 seconds…
I know, that’s what I love about this show / cruise-in. Heck, I was parked between a Toyota 4-runner that was for sale, and a Porshe - until he moved over to join his club members when they arrived.
I did see some old acquaintances that have a '69 Cougar, but they didn’t bring it to the show. So I was the token Cougar representative. Oddly enough, I had quite a few people come up asking if my Cougar was a '68.
Good job, I wanted to stop by after seeing local TV celeb Andy Carson doing his morning bit there, but my hood needed prepping for another coat of primer. I hope to run into you sometime this year!
LOVE the T-Bird (except maybe the color), it is on of my fav years!
I’m sure we’ll meet up sometime this year. I plan to do the All Ford show in Hillsboro, June7th. Also plan to regularly hit the PIR / Beaches cruise-in on Wednesdays, the Hillsboro Burgerville Cruise-In on Saturdays, and possibly the Farmington Dairy Queen cruise-in on Fridays, when possible.
I liked that T-Bird as well ~ so much “avacado” in one place! There were 2 other square 'Birds at the show ~ both Landau Specials, one in correct “Ember-Glo” (or whatever the T-Bird equivalent was for '65), and the other in a blue repaint. I got some pics of the Ember-Glo car at last year’s show. Very nice 'Bird, and the owner is very knowledgeable about the Landau Specials - it was a learning experience talking to him about his car.
