..we went to an IndyCar race event last weekend and got a lot of shots that i’ll be dumping on flickr later, despite not being the frontrunner, i liked this one maybe because of the color combination.. it was driven by sebastien bourdais from lotus dragon racing team..
Dragon Racing is an IZOD IndyCar Series team owned by Jay Penske, the Chairman and CEO of Penske Media Corporation (PMC).
..just a parked train in our local park that was aptly named railroad park..

..this is the hood ornament of yesterday’s car.. got this title from faisal.. i’m running out of titles.. let’s see how this’ll affect web traffic.. looks like there’s some dirt left under the ornament, not that sparkly clean anymore.. should i have cloned out my hands there? i guess not..
..a 1949 Pontiac Silver Streak 8.. looking at this, i should’ve moved that chair.. but then, i don’t want to get yelled at.. considering how shiny these cars are, i just kept my grubby hands to myself..
The straight-8 was dubbed the Silver-Streak at Pontiac Division, but unlike its “flashy” name, it was anything but. During its 21 year run, which included America’s three year campaign in the war overseas, and right up until it being replaced by the V8, it was considered acceptable under Pontiac’s somewhat conservative management. Powered by the “eight”, a Pontiac was promoted as a likable automobile, with enough power under the hood to get the job done in affordable luxury.(wiki)

..a 1934 Plymouth Coupe’s hood ornament..
The Plymouth automobile was introduced on July 7, 1928. It was the Chrysler Corporation’s first entry in the low-priced field, which at the time was dominated by Chevrolet and Ford. Plymouths were actually priced a little higher than the competition, but they offered standard features such as internal expanding hydraulic brakes that the competition did not provide.
..now i didn’t quite get what model this was again, it was just eye candy, so i just snapped away.. 🙂
..i think this is a chevy bel-air.. but i thought of bender when i saw this..
..as mentioned, here’s the first of a few images from the car show.. it’s a classic car show competition, if you’re a fan of vintage cars then you’ll love these.. i’ll have close up, detailed shots of these cars up here and the rest (300+) i’ll dump on my flickr..
..here’s a plymouth hood ornament, forgot to get the car info, i’m guessing something in the 1938-1941’s..

Plymouths were actually priced a little higher than the competition, but they offered standard features such as internal expanding hydraulic brakes that the competition did not provide. Plymouths were originally sold exclusively through Chrysler dealerships. The logo featured a rear view of the Mayflower ship which landed at Plymouth Rock. However, the Plymouth brand name came from Plymouth Binder Twine, chosen by Joe Frazer for its popularity among farmers.(wiki)
