The Classic Car Show has the blues

Singing the blues, car show classics rule.

The Ranchero & the blue q is all about the car show experience. Heading out to a car show for viewing or joining in with our classic is fun, family friendly entertainment. There are so many different standards for a car show but the custom show that fits into a neighborhood or car club offer the best opportunity to enjoy the ride because they are usually free for the viewers. Big car shows that charge fees can making it less family orientated because the parking and entrance fee has a high cost level. When we first started going and attending car shows the difference between a neighborhood show and a big venue show stood out. Some shows charge to get in, where some charge for parking and a fee to get in. We are going to start adding little notes to our car show selection about what to expect at car shows we have attended. After Jake, our dog was banned from a neighborhood car show that was free for viewing it looks like maybe a little extra notes might come in handy for those of us who drag our dogs everywhere and for the folks who may not know you have to pay to park. So we are adding notes and any additional information we can pass on regarding car shows from parking and entrance fees, to dog friendly shows. Attending a car show is a lot of fun but knowing what to expect when attending a car show especially if you have to pay to park & pay to get in vs free. Looking forward to checking out Still Saving Lives and Pomona Swap Meet this weekend. Catch a car show and enjoy the ride!

Happy Memorial Day: Perfection, The Ranchero

Ford Ranchero Mustangs at Warner Center

This perfect little Ranchero was at the Mustangs at Warner Center last year. We didn't get the chance to attend this years show and last year we arrived so early that the Mustangs were still on the road but this little beauty was ready to showcase perfection . Check out our Rancheros, Falcons and catch up on the ride. Looking for a close up of the parts. car-tografi is a photograhic jounal of a car show.

 

Memorial Day

 a salute to our fallen heroes.
Thank you for your service.

 

Fabulous Fords Forever Car Show April 30, 2017

The Fabulous Fords Forever Car Show April 2017

Didn't bring the Ranchero to the show this year, registration was full house 5 weeks ago on their website. So stopped by to take a look at the line up this morning. The cars had a lot more space at this year show than last year, could this be why it was sold out?  Usually by 8 the car show is in full form but it was pretty sparse when we arrived, guess everyone was coming in late. This 1965 Ford Ranchero was a stand out in the morning sun. Wimbledon White, new paint, new chrome, rescued from despair, it was perfection.  Look for an over-view of the car show this week. Last years show is still impressive, you can catch it here.
