Cleveland Auto Spectacular, 2007.
This year the weather was perfect,
the previously dusty trotting track had been grassed over, and
despite the drought, there was a reasonable amount of green in the
grass. The swap meet was unfettered by having other major swap meets
on either side of this weekend, and the numbers of entrants appeared
to be higher.◄ |

Mark Taylor's '35 Chevy Tourer provides a contrast in paint schemes
with the two-tone finish on the '55 Crown Vicky.
This '34 Chevy roadster is not easy to photograph, as the high
lustre paint distorts light meter readings. It is worth the extra
effort though.
Try explaining this body style to your Mum - "No, Ford never made
any like this, but someone thought they should, so they made them in 'glass".
Full size Fords were in abundance, but this '57 Fairlane still stood
out.
A high dollar, superbly detailed car, this '34 roadster appears at a
few local meets.
The Thunderbird was considered 'compact' by the land-barge standards
of the US industry in the '60s. The Cobra is much smaller of course,
with barely enough room for a spare tyre and a cut lunch.

Paul Elms has allegedly found a buyer for his world class '32
3-window, so this may be the last time we see this car at this
event.
Queenslanders have won the last two ASRF raffle cars - this one was
won by an infant, in 2005. Lucky tyke.
The last ASRF raffle car was also won by a banana bender, and this
was the first event for the car since registration.
Picture the restored '34 Ford Phaeton with a chopped top,
Centerlines, and a blower scoop, and you have a great hot rod.
More Buick car club members, with two of the nicer body styles - a
cabriolet and a coupe.
Colour me hammered - this two door sedan won't be confused with a
restoration,

'61 Corvette roadsters are highly desirable, as the $80,000 tab on
this example illustrates. It comes with both tops, and is all
original.
The Buick Car Club runs the event, so it is fitting that there be
some classic Buicks about. The fifties era convertible is as classy
as they come.
"Mines bigger than yours" the 360 powered Duster seems to be saying
to the 340.
All this for a mere $3,000? The ute was good buying for a low dollar
project. The swap meet was of a good size, and had plenty of
potential buyers.
Ian Splatt's Dragway business was well represented, and his
perennial '26 roadster attracted many spectators.
Kerry Fehlberg shot a similar angle on a Buick at the recent
Pleasanton meet, though Chris Dansie's
A Tudor wasn't loping past in Kerry's shot.
