Ice Cream & Cars

What a great combination, ice cream and a car show, all in a local setting. Earlier this year, while trying to find out if our favorite ice cream place in Ticonderoga was open yet, I discovered that the Wind-Chill Factory had opened up another restaurant in Ballston Spa, which is close to home. They advertised that they also have a mini-golf course and would be holding weekly Wednesday evening car shows! Yesterday was the first time we went and there were about 50 cars to look at, along with munching out on our favorite ice cream and even some really good and reasonably priced food. It doesn't get better than this! 😉 Here are a few of our favorite vehicles:

This caught our eye first, and the flame details were throughout this 1930 Model A 2 door sedan, including the interior and the mufflers.

This show-stopper VW Beetle was amazing with its original trunk engine replaced with a V-8 under the front hood.

This truck was almost a rat-rod and we had a laugh with the containers that were used to hold the antifreeze and liquids.

At first glance we thought that Barry and Barb from Florida were here when we noticed this white Impala, but it was a 1962, instead of  Barry's '63. I liked the red accent stripe down the side that matched the interior, and Dave thinks only the SS models came with that (however, I like Barry's wheels better!).

"Let's rumble" in this classic car. My mother often said that she wanted to ride in a rumble seat.

We followed this 1956 Crown Victoria into the parking lot, and it was perfect, right down to its curb feelers. Note the A&W serving tray with food on the driver's window.

One of these times we may bring our Mini-Cooper up to join this one. Dave is still working on 'Bitsy', but making headway.

Look at this 1933 Dodge's fantastic hood ornament!

A replica of a Daytona Shelby Coupe of which there were only 8 made...

Last, but certainly not least, our Kewl '39 Plymouth Road King along with Jim Rulison's yellow Alfa Romeo... 

It was a very nice country drive in these cars up to one of new favorite spots. Although we don't plan on going every week, it is a fun venue to attend when we are home during the summer and the weather allows. This was only the second time the Wind-Chill has had car night, and I am sure as the season progresses, it will be a big hit.
