Ride to Castle Car Show
Tom Bowie (Deep Six Cycles)
We had a great ride out to the Castle Car Show at Castle In The Clouds. We started the day in Portland at 45 Degrees in the morning on a Yamaha aircooled 650. After running some errands on the yammy Gini and I jumped on the turnpike and jammed North to meet up with Dad. I ride down to 24 degrees but I didn’t mind that when it was time to jump on Dad’s fatboy it had significantly warmed up. It hadn’t changed much but some times a few degrees warmer and sunshine makes a noticeable difference. I didn’t take many photos on the way there or back other than this one. I did get a handful at the show. Gini also captured some great photos especially at the car show. She has shared some on her Instagram account @gin_city_.
I felt a handful processed in Black and white were the best composition. Especially engines with forced induction it seems…
I really dug this 34 with a Nailhead…
Yenko or Yenko valve covers?
Dad noticed the shifter on this Nash. I thought it was pretty interesting along with the rest of the dash.
If this was an art or photo blog I would only share my best shots. But there are some good documentary photos of cars as well. Here are some of those.
Yellow may not be a top favorite for me. But how can you say no to a 426 hemi elephant with a shaker hood?
There were no shortages of Blowers!
Long Bed Step Side!!! This truck also had a twin stick transfer case!
I think the only Pantera I’ve seen before this in person was the one Asheville Lane has. And I’ve never been up close and personal with it.
There are some Great youtube videos on these now! Including the one Donut Media did on the one Elvis owned and shot with a pistol.
Pantera Powered by Ford I was thinking they put big block FE’s in these but it seems the biggest they did were 351c and even 351w motors. With such a wide intake I’m guessing this must be a Cleveland?
Can you believe it? 2 shaker hood cars in this one show! Name the paint style if you know! Mopar had the most interesting factory paint back in the day (in my opinion).
Towering Square body!
What would you pick if you had the chance to get a classic wing car? Super bird or Daytona??? This is another car I don’t think I’ve seen in person till now!
We arrived a little late and there were still a ton of cars. Many I didn’t get a chance to capture. A few left before we could get up to them. Over all it was a great car show and a great ride!
