I stopped by the Hoover, AL stop yesterday during the last couple hours, even as about half the group had already left for the day. Amid the sea of Hellcats and rat rods and Cameros and Killstangs were a few random gems. Crappy potato pics due to tired kids not having a great time...

Captions aren’t working for shit, so it’s a mid-60s Volvo P1800; mid-80s 240 with great mods and pristine paint; a very rare Studebaker Lark 2-door wagon. These were in chronological order of visits, so my son’s face is more about exhaustion than approval. My daughter, on the other hand, thinks the Swedish Brick is the greatest thing ever created.

That Lark is badass, I really want one now.

A few more that I found interesting:

The Edsel shot sucks, but it was a wagon...I think it was a sponsor vehicle, not privately owned, but still.

Ugh.. I hate those creepy dolls people put on their cars at car shows. It’s strange they all seem to have the same one too.. .strange..

LMAO, if only I had remembered that was A Thing, I could have had more fun with it.

Thankfully I didn’t see a single one...

I think I passed some of these guys on my hot lap to Knoxville Sunday. Saw quite a few hotrods with some power tour stickers. I remember reading about it in the magazine growing up and always wanted to go

It’s pretty insane how much driving they do. If I had to guess, I’d say at peak it was about 3,000 cars including a couple dozen semis. And almost all of them under their own power (some trailer queens, but gotta protect the investment)

Here’s a Lark wagon from my local C&C with a supercharged Avanti motor under the hood. The want is very strong, but I’d want it in a color other than white.
