End of the road for this blog

Google will not let me upload anymore pictures without buying space from them. I decided not to do this so thanks to all who have been with me on this lengthy road trip here, there and anywhere.

Regrettably, Joanne

Ocean City Cruisin'

After staying in Ocean City, Maryland in October and being floored by a unexpected Cruisin' I couldn't face another car photo for a while But after some recuperation I am going to start sharing our car photos again.

The first two cars were seen at a gas station before Ocean City and we talked with the guys and found out what we were going to see once in Ocean City. I am familiar, though never experienced, the Detroit Cruisin', but there is a lot of noise with these old cars showing off.

Post WWII Chevy truck

Post war Chevy Advance Design Series medium duty truck at Chincoteague, Virginia/

Deck bar at Chincoteague Inn, Chincoteague Virginia

The Deck Bar at the Chincoteague Inn is one of only a few places on the island to get a good lunch at a decent price. It has large old windows that can be opened up by a hook and often are. Seagulls like to sit on post (in the water) waiting for a possible handout. A couple of boat slips are adjacent and there is an occasional boat that will pull up, people get off and come in for a meal and a drink. Good old fashioned fun. We really like the genuine atmosphere.

Signs are everywhere and the second photo is just an example of the off beat humor of this place.

WWII era 4 wheel drive Army truck in Chincoteague Virginia

Up close this truck seemed huge. Probably a good vehicle considering the sand soil around this beach town..

It is the hippie era in Chincoteague Virginia, cool!

Volkswagon Vanagon at Woody's Beach BBQ along main road to Assateague National Seashore. Notice the laundry props to the right of the Vanagon and the peace symbol on the building roof in first photo.

Beer Run in Belmont, Charlottesville, VA. We ate lunch there. The draft and bottled beer selection is enormous. The lunch menu was inviting and more than met our expectations. This, surprisingly, was our first time there and is definitely on our to do again list. 

Antique cars at Sully Plantation Car Show June1997

1924 Ford Model T Roadster

1929 Ford A Model Roadster

These photos were taken by my husband  when we travel from home  in Charlottesville up to the Sully Plantation for their annual Father's Day Car Show; this being in 1997. It is always warm bordering on hot but the day is full of people and cars galore. A great family outing that is sure to please any car loving dad.

Remembering the avocado green...that '70s color

Good ole 1973 Plymouth Valiant as seen in Waynesboro, Virginia in  June 2012. The owner came out and after a little chat said it was OK to take these photos.
