Autos - Little yellow car

Imac, a British blogger whose photography and humor I thoroughly enjoy, posted as his header this week a "retro" lotus. That reminded me that I had shot a more recent vintage Lotus here in Frederick last August. My grandson was the first to spot it as we were walking down Market St. and he had to have a closer look. I ask the gentleman in the above shot if he was going to get his checkbook to make an offer for this vehicle, but he (as I) said it is out of his price range. We also agreed that at our age, the knees don't allow us to sit that low while driving. Imac, this one is for you!

Autos - Golden Gears Car Club

1936 Chrysler Airflow (modified!)

The members of the Golden Gears Car Club of Frederick brought their autos to town last Saturday. The club sponsors events for charity and participates in other events like Frederick's First Saturday. But mainly they have a passion for American automobiles of all types and ages. Some of the cars are restored, some modified (both bodies and engines), and some maintained in original condition. Here are some shots of a few of these beautiful traveling machines.

Reflections - Corvette engine

The Frederick County Corvette Club held a show at Everedy Square last Saturday. There were Corvettes from the 60's to present on display. The underside of the hood of this one had a highly polished finish, reflecting the engine compartment. And below is a shot of that engine with a reflection of another admirer of the car.

Weekend Reflections is hosted by James of Newtown Area Photo.

Old cars - 1915 Ford Model T

Here is another fine old car on display during the First Saturday celebration in Frederick by the Francis Scott Key Antique Auto Club. It is a 1915 Ford Model T Run About. he owner took about two years to restore the original to the condition shown here. Note the wooden spokes in the wheels.

Old cars - 1930 Chevrolet

Radiator cap

Trunk

The owner told me this Chevy was built in Australia for driving on the left side of the road. The owner told me he is okay with sitting on the right to drive as long as he drives the car regularly.
