Solent Shite at Lord Stokes Bay

[mercrocker]

As hinted in the Solent Shiters thread I did manage to attend the annual Bank Holiday car show on the green at Stokes Bay today.   Weather just got better through the day, I managed to spend about 47p which always makes me happy and met up with some good mates.    Anyways, here are your pics as they speak louder than words..... 

 

First up was this cheerful little Volvo Laplander

 

   

 

 

Humber and Umber

 

 

 

 

Orstin  

 

  

 

Capri and Moggy (packing Midget punch) 

 

 

 

 

This Falcon was pretty much my favourite thing all day....

 

 

  

 

Buick of many coats

 

 

  

One of Luxton's finest

One for all you PSA-lickers.   I had forgotten how neat small cars used to be.   Or even how small neat cars used to be.

 

 

 

 

Ersatz Benz, too small to be an Excalibur, more a kind of pocket knife.... 

 

 

 

Parisienne - I wouldn't be on any walk way if I had this.... 

 

 

 

Sunproofed Zephyr Zodiac, this is a delightful car that we see quite a lot 

 

 

 

Mopars, Post War to Cold War 

 

 

My mate smokes this Cutlass daily, it works hard for a living, too... 

 

 

 

Lowered (yawn) but nice to see one anyway 

 

 

 

Two strokes, three pots, four rings (sounded bloody lovely!) 

 

 

Custom pack Mehico 

 

 

 

 

One for Billy Cavcraft   

 

 

This won best modern - 

 

 

 

But this was quite nice, too.... 

 

 

 

Tailpiece 

 

 

 

 

Er, that's it.

Nice work Mercrocker - today there was a car show in Stubbington too which had a reasonable turnout too which may have diluted attendees too - though I saw the Aldershot & District coach as I came home from Titchfield late this afternoon. T'was a very good example!

Very good. I wish I'd gone to this.

I spy a big Lincoln Continental at the back in the mopar pic.

[MarvinsMom]

that Falcon is the cats whiskers.

 

yum yum!

 

thanks for sharing.

Keenly spotted!   Unfortunately it was airbagged to death and had monging great wheels which seemed to draw large crowds and prevented pappage!

Shame, yanks have great looking wheels and trims as standard, it baffles me why people seem to put modern gopping great big things on them. Can't say I'm a fan of air bags either.

 

What's the story with your mates Olds then? It looks a great piece of kit for a daily!

[mercrocker]

He is a serial Yank licker (he thinks he used to own the Parisienne as well but couldnt remember the plate!).   Used to trade for himself and a bloke approached him with the Olds having been offered it from another trader - it came off the Channel Islands apparently - most of the local Yanks seemed to gravitate his way unless an enthusiast got there first!   The Cutlass has replaced a Laurel also used daily.
