2016 0618 Pre Father's Day Car Show at Historic Brownsville Museum

Puffy clouded blue skies added to the beauty of the day for Historic Brownsville's Museum Pre-Father's Day Classic Car Show held in the parking area on the sixth street side of the museum. 
1964 Plymouth Valiant Slant 6-225 cu in 2 dr sedan with custom body work & paint / engine and mechanical work by Gary Bryant of Olmito, Texas.

Above info from Valiant copied from informational marker with car.  The rest of the cars I'm just going to wing it. 
 1957 Ford Thunderbird
 No one knows - unless they've ever owned and restored one of these classics - the amount of time and expense and lifetime experience that goes into restoring a car.  The museum staff and volunteers really put on a well organized show.  There was talk of another one possibly.  If you own a classic car please contact the Historic Brownsville Museum at 956-548-1313 or drop by at 641 E Madison St to find out how you can get involved.

  1. Awesome man! I missed it. Would've love to have seen those classic CJ Jeeps. What's up with Mr.Hotdog, Hotdog Man, or whatever his name is? Where did he come from?

    1. Sorry I didn't call you but you always work. The hotdog man was put there by the hotdog vender and I ordered a Vera Cruz taco that was laced with hot sauce and grilled onions yum yum.

  2. What a great display the museum put on! It really takes dedication to restoring a car while keeping its integrity and history. I really love the 1930s Studebaker - it really is unique and beautiful. The shine on all of the cars is just gorgeous and really shows their authentic beauty. I hope you enjoyed the display!
