3RD ANNUAL GRAND CAR SHOW ~ THE SHORES RETIREMENT COMMUNITY - 2024

This is the 2nd year we went to this car show.  A chance for residents to come out and look at cars and share memories.  A rewarding day with friends, food and great entertainment from Jesse.









Gary Sanger's new toy!  They saw at a farmer's market and couldn't pass it up (for $300!).  The wheels even matched.



The car below stopped me in my tracks.  Couldn't believe what I was seeing. It's a 1947 Chevrolet Fleetline "Country Club" Sport Coupe.  It's a rarely seen package.  It was a dealer-installed option produced by Engineered Enterprises of Detroit.  Sounds like the paneling work for this car done in Denver and Larry said they have 85K into the car.  Driven by a 93-year-old!  Car will go to his son (there as well).





Dash cam of the 1947.  Look at that shifter!



Stunning 1955 Chevy 6500 truck
