Return to Desert Palms Car Show

We are always looking for fun and the Burger Bash and Car Show at the Palms is a fun time with live music and prizes.  We rode down there with Jerry & Yvonne and had a fine time.

That's Steve checking in and buying some Silent Auction Tickets.
Gari selects the Shotgun Tequilla bottle with dual shot glasses.
Yvonne signs her tickets, we don't know what the heck Steve is doing, but he seems excited.
A view over some of the Silent Auction Prizes to one of the nearby Show Car lots.
There's Jerry monitoring the Silent Auction from the shade under his straw Mexican hat.

Gari found her next truck, a F-450 with Dual Rear Axle Dual Tires!
Gari admires all those rear tires and dreams about the giant loads she could pull!
 Steve found a couple pickup trucks that Mike Smo may be proud of.
Gari found a Hot Rod Ford I think she would like to test drive.
Steve likes these engines, real works of art!

Look at the Intake Pipes on this Pig would ya?!

We ran into our Colorado pal Bill at the Car Show
Steve discovered a 1963 Ford Convertible Falcon just like the one his family had in Bay Village, Ohio.
We met this cute couple from Spokane, Washington.  The husband told us the story of how they acquired the 1918 Model T and it was pure luck.  He even cranked up the old buggy.  It had three foot pedals (forward, reverse and brake) and a hand lever clutch at the driver's left.  Not sure I could make that buggy go!
A couple more shots of the Model T

You can see the three foot pedals and the hand clutch lever in this photo.
