Flashback Summer: C-Street Car Show for the Kilties 2016

Yesterday I stumbled upon the Car Show for the Kilties here in Springfield.  My friend and I were stopping at Springfield's one vintage store (Decades on Commercial Street), and the whole area was blocked off for a car show and the weekly city market!  Springfield doesn't have many vintage events at all... except for classic car shows!  We dominate those, and there are quite a lot of them throughout the year here.

This car show was a fundraiser for the Kilties, a girls' drum and bugle corps at my alma mater, Central High School.  The Kilties were started at Central in 1926, and I always thought they were pretty awesome.  I was glad to help out the group!

I grabbed Jacob and we came back later to take it all in.  My dad's side of the family is very into classic car restoration, so I've been going to car shows my whole life.  However, the extent of my knowledge is pretty much being able to determine the decade a car is from and admiring the shiny chrome. 

When I go to car shows, I always pick out my favorite car that I would buy if money and practicality were no object.  So let's have a virtual car show!  Which one would you pick?

  2. Great photos! I really enjoy vintage/classic car shows too. I do the same thing, picking which car I want. Cori will roll his eyes but then almost always will go on to tell me which one he wants too! Ha!!

  3. Oh my goodness -- the yellow really old one! I'd feel like Truly Scrumptious from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and I'd need to get a white duster and a big hat with veils and toodle around like a maniac who bought a car before driving lessons or licenses were a thing.

  6. So fun! Likewise our town has next to no vintage related events, save for the occasional classic car show, the biggest of which takes place over the course of a weekend in late June each year. I've been to two of the past four and hope to make it to this year's as well, if possible.
