Joan saw an advertisement for a Car Show in Sun City West - should be fun.
Leaving our 55+ resort, driving through Sun City Grand, then into Sun City West, you really appreciate the "active adult lifestyle." It looks like an ad for feminine hygiene products: people running, biking, golfing, playing tennis... well, except most of these people wouldn't be the target audience for those products.
It is a beautiful day, and people are out and about. We took the scooters to the car show... about a mile before getting to the venue (in a large parking lot), we began to see signs for "Car Show satellite parking - Shuttle served." The lots weren't full, but it was early. This is going to be a bigger deal than I thought.
When we got there, they had people directing traffic - we managed to find a parking spot for the scoots in the parking lot next to the show. Yep, this looks like it is going to cover a lot of ground - on with the show...
It was an eclectic mix of cars: new, antique, hot rods, foreign, custom... the emphasis seemed to be on muscle cars - lots of pretty paint and flames...
Love that '69 Firebird (3 images above).
The image above is a new model from Polaris, a three-wheel screamer.
A good turn-out with the crowds...
Some bikes (aincluding a Honda Passport)...
They weren't all shining examples...
I had one just like this - same color, too...
Anyone remember these?
New and old together...
A fun show. The price was right (free). The weather was perfect. We topped it off with a stop for some ice cream before riding west from our resort. You see just how close to the edge of civilization we are: 2 minutes west of us, and you are surrounded by nothing but desert.
