Greenwood Car Show
Seattle (June 2008)
Every year, twenty blocks of Greenwood Avenue get closed off to make way for the on-street Greenwood Car Show. The show started small in 1992 and now brings in lots of people to see all types, makes, and ages of cars, trucks, motorcycles, and even the occasional dragster, bicycle, leather-covered Czechoslovakian car, electric vehicle, and rust bucket Mad Max hot rod. There is live music, food, people watching, and plenty of folks happy to talk to you about their rolling hobbies.
Plenty of shine and chrome on these hot rods
Many motorcycles emphasized form over function with great paint jobs, shiny chrome, suspension-less hard tails, custom frames, and big fat tires
"Old Woodie" strutting its gleaming stuff
Amphicar, complete with anchor "emergency brake"
Hidden goodies under the hood
Aviation gas up front, jet engine in back, fast forward...
It's more like swoopy art than transportation!
