Carlisle Events 2013 Spring Car Show - Wrap up

The Carlisle Events Car shows offer a wide range of interests.
You can literally spend days combing through everyone else's
'stuff'.  In the day of DIY this and DIY that it's an exciting 
adventure to determine what you can make out of things one tossed.

I know a few college kids that once had a room full of signs that once stood along 
the sides of the roads.  I wonder where these signs emerged from?
Of course when it was time to move home I know the Mother's of the college kids
weren't welcoming the signs into their homes!

Some had clever neatly displayed items for sale while other appeared to have
emptied a box onto the table and took off to buy more 'stuff'.

The Green Ghost
Oh what stories could these doors tell?

A well used tire.  
I hope whoever owns this tire found a new tire at the show!

Old gas pumps are a popular redo item to display in a state of the art garage.

Sand paper?
What grade and what shape would you like?

Of course everyone gets hungry walking mile after mile.
There's plenty of stopping points to consume!

French Fries
A staple at any event involving humans!

Car Parts
Truck Parts

Some choose the right pair of shoes, and others choose the right door.
What's your color pick?

How about some matching hoods to go along with the doors?

Matching fenders all around!

Seats are are popular choice to update a used car.

Who knew that there are tons of choices in selecting the right steering wheel.

Keys!
Are they soon to be a thing of the past with the onslaught of the fob?

Shiny yes, but no jewels.

Carlisle Events 2013 Spring Car Show -- The Unusual!


2013 Spring Car Show
Carlisle, PA
This displays just a smidgen of how big the show is in Carlisle.
If you can't find a car part here there's a problem!
Besides cars and trucks and car parts and truck parts the variety
of 'stuff' is also quite amazing!

It was a warm day but who knows what tomorrow may bring. 
Always be ready for a a little sledding!

Carburator, head gaskets or a guitar suit your findings?

Maybe you can find a toy that matches your car!

Don't you just feel a little safer with this guy around?

Home made travel home ready to go when you are!

I needed a haircut but $250.00 was not in my budget!

Just the thing I was looking for!
Rags!
What a bargain!

You can buy your own super sonic jet for a mere $1200.00
I've always wanted a flying car, maybe this is my opportunity!

I know the lion the horse and the buffalo were for sale along with the lamp post, 
but I couldn't find a price tag on the stripped man in the chair!  I have the perfect place 
for him too.

Carlisle Events Spring Car Show 2013

--Just a few of my favorite wheels

What's not to like?

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang comes to mind.

It's like driving your apartment around!
Honestly was this ever paralleled parked?

Willys!
The only one we could find in the whole place.
Just wait a few months till a year and my husbands will outshine this one!

At first I thought it was The Thing!
I was quickly corrected that is was a Willy's Jeepster.
So the yellow Willy's wasn't the only Willy's after all!

Everyone need a gangster car!

Yeah --  This was my favorite ride of the day!
I think someone was in my parents garage and stole my childhood bike!

This one brought back some memories.
Although it was a 1977 Camaro the body shape and color was exactly like my 
first car which was a 1974.

Perhaps this is where the movie makers came to get the cars for the movie 
The Great Gatsby?

--Ha!  Just had to share this.  
Any parent can understand this from time to time!

But its modified and its a 'Super' Beetle!

Carlisle Events Spring Car Show 2013

My hometown Car show -  World renowned!
Spring 2013 Car Swap Meet and Coral

These guys come prepared to carry and haul their cars out piece by piece.
Some were unique in the making and some were just --  well just a garbage can 
attached to wheels.  Whatever it takes -- to maneuver those car parts from one 
persons garage to another's.

Some did double duty acting as a billboard advertising what they had for sell or what 
they were looking to buy.


Some grocery store will be looking for him!

He's telling how he modified his kids wagon with heavy duty sides and looking 
to fill is up!

Wheels are a necessity!

Not only is a grocery store missing a cart but it also had been modified with some
pimped out wheels.

These guys will have a modified wheel rolling devise for the next show; but
when all else fails a little muscle goes a long ways.

It's time to show their wives the special charms they've purchased!

NYC 2013 International Car Show

Wings?  I've always said I'm sticking around long enough in this world
so I can 'fly' a car!

Let's go surfin!

White walls.
Are they on their way back again?

Uniquing in style as a Yankee fan.
