2013 Qualicum Beach Father's Day show n' shine - pictures

[70DartMike]

I took my Dart to it's first car show in years yesterday, to the Qualicum Beach Father's Day car show. It's supposedly in Oprah's 'Top things to do in the summer' or something.. ? Anyways, it was PACKED. Mark (Moopa) and I showed up about 9:30 AM, which was apparently too late.. 9 was cut off time?? Even though we pre registered, and each paid $25 online ahead of time to register, they told us they ran out of room. They wanted us to park outside the show, way out in some quiet parking lot. I said eff that, and moved the barricades and came in the back way and parked in the show. It was pretty neat to have Mark's 1969 Charger survivor in F8 green, parked next to my 1970 Dart Custom, freshly done in F8 green.
I even had one guy get angry at me for pulling out the slant, and building a 340. 'You can build up the slant just as good as that 340!!' he argued.

Anyways, here's the pics. I didn't get pics of everything I liked, because it was so crowded, but I still got a bunch.
Enjoy.





Never seen this one before, it's local. Factory big block Dart.





Super Duty Beaumont.



A friend of mine just bought this. 1967 1/2 ton 4x4.





































This sounded great.



























My mom used to have one of these.







1964 Barracuda, 340.

Love these Pontiacs.











Trevor is the original owner of a 1969 383 GTS. He recently bought this Coronet as well. 270 Poly, cool intake/carb setup. It uses Ford carbs, and runs a Chevy 3 speed.





Hemi Barracuda.









The AMC club showed up.. cool!

Thank you Mike, what a great outing. F8 is still my favorite to this day, and you guys two cars looked great together. I also have a soft spot for the Acadian cars. Just wish a Canso had showed up....lol. Everything was very cool though....:thumleft:.

 

[70DartMike]

Thanks Rick! A lot of people liked seeing our two in the same colour. Not a colour you see often these days.
There were a few Canso's, but too crowded to get pics.

I missed it this year for the first time in a few years. Great pics. F8 seems to be popular on the island, hopefully my F8 69 cuda will be there to join next year!
