Some good friends came up from Missouri for the Iola old car show and swap meet this last week. One of the largest if not largest combined car show/swap meets in the nation.
They had just purchased the black 77 Pontiac Trans Am a few months ago and was their first long road trip with it. The blue 69 Dodge Superbee clone is my son's car that I put together in 1997 or so and which he purchased from me 2017.
The Peterbuilt rat rod was about as crazy and unique a vehicle that I have seen. I should have gotten better pictures but for example check out the size of the pistons that serve as headlight buckets!
Being a Mopar fan I thought the Dodge Town Wagon , not sure of the year , was a very cool and extremely well done restoration. Something you do not see every day. It really struck me how popular trucks and early SUV from the mid 50's to early 80's have become. 20 years ago at Iola if someone was displaying a pickup truck everyone wondered if a mistake was being made. Now a good percentage of post war cars and even the blue ribbon cars where trucks.
