Ford Falcon Futura
Another sharp looking ride. While surfing around for info on this car's make/model I came across the Falcon Club of America website.

Dodge Pick-up
Fred Scimela's Dodge pick-up was a favorite of the Bergen Museum's curator. When Fred found this truck it was on its way to the junk yard. He rebuilt it from the ground up and it looks great.

A Row of Classics
We couldn't have asked for better weather on the day of the Bergen Museum Car show. It was a bit windy. (Some of the venders had trouble keeping their booths from toppling over.) But the breeze helped keep things from getting too warm. I wish the parking lot at the Bergen Mall had a few more trees for shade. Maybe the Mall's new owners will update the landscaping.

Ford
One more shot of the Ford. I don't know why Ford can't make cars this sporty looking anymore. A true gem.

Austin-Healy Sprite
I love this car. The Sprite and its off-spring the MG Midget are at the very top of my list of cars I'd like to own. They're little, cute, and fun to drive. And white is the right color for them. I was really happy Geoff Lotman brought his car to the show last month.

CHEVY?
Another black and white shot from the Bergen Museum Car show. I forget the make of this gorgeous ride. But in every way, it was one of the true stars of the show. (Update: It's a FORD, or course!)

Black n' Whites from the Car Show
I took a few black and white photo's at the car show last month. They came out so nice I wish I had taken more. This was probably the most beautiful car at the show. But I forget it's make. Buick, maybe? If you know post it in comments. Thanks.

Alfa 2005 Romero
I believe this was the only Italian car at the show last month. Almost everyone has owned an Alfa at one point or another. The Italian style in an affordable package is hard to pass up. This one looked great in black. Expect this make on American roads again the near future.

Mini's AT THE BERGEN CAR SHOW.
Here is another shot of the Mini's. You get a good sense of their size next to Tim Swartz's Chevy van. (More on that van later.)

Austin-Healy
"This way to the car show." A very nice Austin-Healy came to the show. Austin-Healy is one of Britain's finest car makes. They have a very sporty yet refined look about them. A-H's are very collectable and have been steadily gaining in value over the years.

Cartoon Truck
This car drove off with the trophy for BEST OF SHOW. It's a Ford Model A with every cartoon character you can think of hand painted over every square inch, inside and out. There was a crowd around the car throughout the show. I have some more photos of the Ford and the trophy that it won. I'll post them at a later time.

MGT at the Bergen Museum car show.
Doesn't this MGT look real nice in white? We only had one MG at the Bergen Museum car show last month. But it was a very fine example of the legendary British make. The MGB Midget is at the top of my list of classic cars I'd like to own. But I also love this earlier model. The MGT was very popular with US Soldiers during WWII. Many "T's" were packed up and shipped back to the States. The little roadster is credited with starting America's obsession with sport cars.

An All-American Corvette
Is this a fun looking Vette, or what?! The All-American Corvette Club happens to meet right across the street from the Bergen Mall at Penera's Bread in Paramus. We had three or four Corvettes at the Bergen Museum car show last month.

The Bergen Mall, Paramus NJ
Here is a good shot of the Bergen Museum's car show with the Bergen Mall in the background. The Bergen Mall opened in 1957 making it one of the oldest malls in America. JFK campaigned here in 1960. It has even been featured in Wierd NJ. Click here for more of the history of the Bergen Mall.

Honda Bike at the Bergen Car Show
A local man, from Paramus, rode this classic Honda to the Bergen Museum Festival/Car Show. He came just as a spectator. But so many people were asking about his bike that he finally moved it over to the classic car lot. He told me he bought it the year it was made (in 1967 I think he said?). It really is a nice looking bike.

French Cars at the Bergen Museum
Here are the two French cars that came to last month's Bergen Museum's car show. The white car is John Garcia's Renault 4. The silver car just behind is Renato Sunico's Peugeot. The more I learn about French cars the more I like them. They were so ahead of their time in both style and performance. And Renaults, Peugeots, and Citroen's are still made today.

The Allard at the Bergen Car Show
This photo host is much better. The pictures come out cleaner and are quicker to load. This is a pic of the Allard that made it to last month's car show at the Bergen Mall in Paramus. A lot of people don't know about the Allard. It was one of Britain's great race cars. More about the Allard.
