Went to The concours D'Elegance Car show today with my friend, at meadow brook.
Took bunches of pics with my Camera phone
everything looks so darn shiny.

In the vintage/classic bikes section(whatever it was called) they had alot of the sweetest lookin bikes i have really ever seen
(sorry about the doubles...and i couldnt title these pics, so everyones going to have to tell me what this stuff is...lol)

The engine...bad shot...cant really get shots through windows when its this sunny with camera phones

We heard it start up...man does it sound rediculous.
We were thinking of how funny it would be to have one of these and race some lamborghini or something

as far as the bikes, dont know all the models but the makes look familiar

looks like
Indian "chief"
i think the second is a royal enfield (would have said "sturmey Archer" on the crank too)
a harley pea shooter
a honda rune
another harley
a norton
another Indian
another Indian "chief"
a vincent (perhaps a song wrote about that bike too)
dont know the last one

is that a cadillac concept car or a custom in the last car pics ?
 
Yeah
im pretty sure its a riviera
but it didnt say riviera anywhere on it
i think the silver arrow thing was some kind of concept trim level thing
because there was a I and II sitting next to each other

Great pics dingo. I was actually in line to get into the parking lot for this show but, I decided to it would take to long so I went back home. You should have stopped by. The show is only about 10 minutes from my house.
I was with my friends parents

wish i could have
lol
the only way we got tickets so easily is my friends dad jumped in line and bought all the tickets
i was laughing so hard
my friend was like "you should see him at airports"
and
"He drives like he stands in line"
and he was right :lol: :lol:
 
I thought the last picture was a 65 buick riviera?

It is. That's the same kind of car that Patrick Swayze drove in the film "Roadhouse." It's an awful movie, but I can't stop watching it when I see it on TV. The 65 Riviera had cool clamshell headlights.
 
Great pics... thanks for sharing. Even if they are not rats I never get tired of looking at old motorcycles. They just make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside... and then sad because I'll never be able to afford one ... :cry:
