Mopar was strongly represented with the names of Roadrunner, GTX, Cuda, Charger, and Polara. Names that earned legendary status flexing muscle at quarter-mile tracks all over the country. Big block engines, 4-speed shifters, and dual exhausts were on display at the car show.

Sandra and Her 1965 Mercury Comet GT Caliente
Sandra had some money saved and the 1965 Mercury Comet GT Caliente was in her care a week later. “Billy talked me into it and I ended up paying for it; that’s why I call it mine,” Sandra explained. “So it always has my name when we go to anything. It’s my car. Billy and his brother-in-law had no idea I would buy it.”
Rick’s 1963 Ford Galaxie 500
Rick’s project is a 1963 Ford Galaxie 500.

Back to the Beach. Say those four words to a classic car owner in south eastern North Carolina, and they will immediately think of the Sun Coast Cruisers’ annual car show. The Back to the Beach car show was held March 13, 2010 at the Fort Fisher USAF Recreation Area in Kure Beach, NC.

“My husband bought it because I already had my car,” Sheri stated. “I have a 1964 Chevy II Nova and he wanted a car too so he picked this one up. Today he went fishing so I got to pick between the Chevy Chevelle and the Chevy Nova as to which one to bring to the show.”

I figure, as many cars as I’ve painted and as many collision repair jobs that I’ve put back together and back on the road, and as many patch panels and other things that I’ve done to cars, and fighting rust my whole entire life, why not have one with a little bit of patina. I’ve waxed enough.
Alice’s Forgotten 1969 Ford Thunderbird
“I see men give me a smile, like yeah, ok, she has a car, and every so often you see the women elbow there husband and whisper, ‘she has a car’. And if you’re that wife go ahead and stab your husband in the ribs and say, ‘hey she has a car.’ And if you want one, get one, and have that sense of pride.”
Johnny’s Custom 1949 Ford Little Big Rig
Originally built to tow a 29 foot toy hauler camper, Johnny thought of just about everything. “I restored a 1978 Harley-Davidson Motorcycle. The right side rear fender folds down and ramps slide out and the motorcycle sits sideways behind the sleeper,” Johnny explained.
11th Annual All Ford Car And Truck Show
A clean black 1949 Ford in near stock form excluding the addition of a set of exhaust headers on the flathead V8 engine and wide-white radials cruised to the event. A timeless piece that came out of the state of Maryland three years ago. It was in the care of the current owner who was finishing up the final pre-judging polishing and shared that he aquired ’49 with a promise to the seller that the vehicle would not be turned in to a hot rod.
