CANADA DAY CAR SHOW IN KINCARDINE #1

A friend of mine named Paul told me that he was going to put his 1964 Plymouth Stationwagon in the car show in Kincardine on Canada Day. He is a lot like me as he does not enter car shows much because, like me, he did not preserve his vehicle to just put it in car shows. We just love to putter around town in them and run errands just as you would with any other vehicle . So Karen and I decided that if he was going to the show we would surprise him and show up with our vehicle, a 1969 Plymouth Fury One. We went and searched for him but apparently he didn't go. I'll have to have a talk with Paul. We had a good time anyway. The town of Kincardine clears the Main street and only allows show cars along the street from 5 to 9 pm. Here are some photos. Enjoy.
