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.
