One of the perks of living in Jensen Beach is that every Tuesday evening there is a car cruise-in at the Elliott Museum. We don't go every week but when we do, we usually go with Barry and Barb in their latest Beach Cruiser, a gorgeous 1963 Chevy Impala Super Sport.
Here are some of the other cars that were at the show last night...
A 1964 Impala convertible.
Anyone want to go for a 'sled' ride? It is a 1949 Mercury, chopped and shaved.
A 1973 Pantera which is a regular at the show. It has a mid engine, Ford 351 driving the rear wheels.
This Roadunner is also a regular and it parked right next to Barry. This one is really special. It is a 1970 with a Dodge Viper V-10 engine. It looks factory built and sounds unbelievable.
A rarity...a McClaren. It was so cool but we don't know anything about it.
This 1949 Pontiac convertible was a big hit and so detailed, complete with its signature Indian hood ornament and a replica on the engine. It is powered by a 421 tri-power V-8. It is built on a highly modified Corvette C4 chassis with independent suspension.
Wild paint jobs. Notice the 1959 Cadillac taillights on the Chevy SSR.
What really made the night special was a new feature hosted by the museum where they bring out one of their historical cars to give rides around the parking lot. Last night was this 1914 Packard touring car that used to be owned by Ralph Evinrude, and we hitched a ride for a lap. Evinrude used to keep a home in Jensen Beach.
Can you tell we were having fun? Thanks Barry and Barb!
