RI Memorial Day Car Show

5/29/23

David: Our first car show of 2023! This was a well attended show in Johnston, RI that Sam and I went to. We also brought the Volvo along for its first ever car show, although it didn't fit in too well among all the other American classics. There were some other '80s and '90s cruisers, but '60 and '70s Americana made up the majority of the show. Anyways, there were over 400 cars in attendance, so obviously, we couldn't photograph all of them, so we decided to pick our highlights for what we thought were the coolest and best looking vehicles at the show.

Above: 1966 Chevy Impala SS

A true all original SS car.

Above: 1965 Chevy Impala SS

An original one owner car, with zero modifications.

Sam enjoys an Impala moment sitting in the '65 Super Sport.

Above: 1950 VW Beetle

Almost a completely original car, with the exception of the halo headlights.

Above: 1969 Dodge Dart Swinger

1968 Chevy Caprice

1971 Chevy Monte Carlo

1969 MGB GT

1973 Dodge Polara

The last year of the Polara and full size "Fuselage Body" Chryslers.

Above and Left: 1984 Ford Econoline 150 Conversion Van

There's nothing quite like a period correct modified car, and this van is no exception. Groovy!

1965 Pontiac GTO

1971 Oldsmobile Cutlass 442 W-30

1966 Pontiac Catalina Convertible

1970 Chevy Chevelle Malibu

A regular Chevelle, non SS car, with a 427 CI engine. Most regular Chevelles get turned into SS clones, so we thought a non SS Chevelle was picture worthy.
