Sunday...Sunday...Sunday!

Overnighted again at the Orange Empire Railway Museum in Perris.  Started off at o’dark thirty to make our way to the Pomona for the Pomona Swap Meet and Classic Car Show at the Fairplex which starts before sun-up.   Touted as over 15 miles of cars and vendors.  My feet believe it.  Saw a vendor using a 1971 Cortez for a base that he said he was going to put up for sale at the next meet.  No Cortez parts but got a source book on Oldsmobile parts (My Cortez has a Olds Toronado 455 motor and a GM 425 transmission).  From the looks of things here the most popular classic car in Southern California is any air-cooled Volkswagen.



1951 Ford UPS truck

Look! Another Cortez!
VW's everywhere
 Then headed over to the Sherman Oaks Street Fair.  A dog friendly event with my two making lots of friends.  Got to see The Batmobile, or at least one of the “authentic” copies built by legendary customizer George Barris.

Holy flashback Batman!

 
Then headed over to Studio City for some window shopping and lunch at Carney’s Express, a hamburger/hot dog joint in an old rail car. 

Best burgers and dogs in Studio City
