California Route 66 Museum Car Show

California Route 66 Museum Car Show
click photo to enlarge	Our sister museum, the California Route 66 Museum, in Victorville has their annual car show in November so we went this year. It was a beautiful late fall day in southern California with sunshine and temperatures in the low 80s. I preferred the late 60's chargers looks over this 1973 Charger but this paint was pretty incredible.

Heh, wonder if they have been on the I15 Speedway lately... I just love all the car shows out here. We don't go that often but have sure been to some nice ones and this one had a great collection of vehicles.

Now there may have been a few at the show that were not but I didn't seem to have any pictures of them. Kind of ironic that as I am typing this just yesterday George Bush announced a bailout program for the US automakers. I sure hope they can make a go of it and become competitive again. What a storied history.
