Photo TR: Southern Knights Car Show


Recommended Posts

Every year in early spring, Charlotte Hall, MD has their annual Southern Knights Classic Car Show. Any car can enter the show as long as they are at least 25 years old. This was one of the best shows I've been to. There wasn't any car that really "wowed" me like there's been in the past, but the overall quality of this show was better than most I've been to. This TR will be divided into two parts since I took over 80 pictures. I'm done talking, on to the photos.

1298355558_005(800x600).jpg.7492bb93487e8c582fe91ef0190c1ecb.jpg

Not even into the show and there's already nice cars scattered everywhere.

480317780_006(800x600).jpg.27a5e791e8b5d960915bb84892be77fd.jpg

This was a big truck, but you can't really tell from this photo.

591009869_007(800x600).jpg.bcc57adbc916568c568cf180ae68a7e0.jpg

So I'll be a point of reference. I'm 5'9 and only come up to the mirror.

1488585998_008(800x600).jpg.4ed1ce66232a9ffb2512c114b32a91f0.jpg

Great contrast of old and new. Still not in the show btw.

1873860327_009(800x600).jpg.29042b387385655d374a26b9288c990b.jpg

I can't think of a good caption for this... so... it's a trike.

1910545276_010(800x600).jpg.8672cf0dbf09fe34a035195d43c805fe.jpg

Finally in the show. First thing we see is an immaculate, pristine Bel-Air next to a rust bucket Beetle.

418190782_011(800x600).jpg.e7f2d1eab9daf6ea4c5ab28b4b969dec.jpg

The Southern Knights Car Show always has a bike section, and this was one on the nicer ones there.

1710878818_012(800x600).jpg.328adfeeee4263246bdd5156c11945b9.jpg

American pride!

762868259_013(800x600).jpg.4942a74d1408c21f8cec3041e3efa421.jpg

I'm already running out of captions. It's a Chevelle by the way.

213118698_015(800x600).jpg.1e7b1d53c5749b9c023766b246516a6d.jpg

I'll admit it, I know nothing about bikes. But I know that this is a classic by looking at it (and reading the sign that says it was built in 1941).

785011787_016(800x600).jpg.84b48c37a3048679ebdd581c27069283.jpg

If someone strapped a stuffed pig to a Chopper would it be called a "pork chop"? Ha, I crack myself up... you're not laughing. Oh, never mind.

191455012_017(800x600).jpg.5ff306f901f39c4152a67dea65c32294.jpg

Close-up of the paint job.

376518508_018(800x600).jpg.3a3910ad94971960e094e59899b2476d.jpg

I thought the exhaust pipe on this was really cool.

922344278_019(800x600).jpg.fa5e9688dad4e7a37a3f7e390867dd17.jpg

This bike had hands-down the nicest paint-job, and not just because of the sexy naked lady.

2134217730_020(800x600).jpg.9eb72660da162ab4d3bb56062668acee.jpg

The '70 Barracuda is one of my favorite muscle cars, and this is one of the nicest ones I've seen.

647881609_021(800x600).jpg.8bb7f378eb422faea80977951b899564.jpg

I just love the shaker air intake they have.

1722192489_022(800x600).jpg.dbd8bcc17188fa5c0c156fe3c99ab698.jpg

Big engine in a '69 Firebird.

831674929_023(800x600).jpg.6c6cf000875bf2ba55d20968b9d7165f.jpg

The Firebird the engine belongs to.

272698405_024(800x600).jpg.a3e2f6f32e84e6ce00395a29ac6d5f61.jpg

This Camaro had some of the nicest ghost-flames I've seen.

1579507949_025(800x600).jpg.a45f72060c8bd1b41ac926ac5eb28142.jpg

Close-up.

1602181887_026(800x600).jpg.824aa86277fe673854986db12296ff3f.jpg

I'm a huge fan of red interiors. Although this isn't one of my favorites it's still really nice.

1854849608_027(800x600).jpg.9baa3f6ccd4a1b768c04ff5299596518.jpg

OMG! It's a Creamsiclemobile!

134124349_028(800x600).jpg.857ca42034fb12f8834710184d26c4f5.jpg

There really isn't a car more iconic than the '55 Bel-Air.

774165579_029(800x600).jpg.c07f993c0222d9d9f0095b2b0565e244.jpg

But you could always make the argument that it's the '57 Bel-Air.

768631695_030(800x600).jpg.ba7384e1a7bf9b39a3db95360e4ecc5c.jpg

One of the nicer dashboards I've seen.

911491441_031(800x600).jpg.53e95eacc6867212b42f47c890a828dd.jpg

This is cool. They incorporated the truck into it's own paint-job.

1679125704_032(800x600).jpg.6b191ad4fb4de4aa2416cf376dec54a3.jpg

Here's the truck.

1498765238_033(800x600).jpg.629474fd79e34226057d5c3b4150357b.jpg

Stock interior, but it's nice.

1240967773_034(800x600).jpg.1dae0cf02d0ea910b0acc17683ff335d.jpg

grumblegrumblegrumbleGRUMBLEgrumblegrumble...

25942380_035(800x600).jpg.04d6738ed4a83adbc0b2989d7de91999.jpg

This car had such a shiny paint job you can see the reflection of the car next to it.

411021897_036(800x600).jpg.338e9abf0d8224676b9fca29d5d5a4a1.jpg

I love a good Mustang, and this '68 GT is immaculate.

1491547397_037(800x600).jpg.1753aa979fe3a541b4994f2bdbc5aaa1.jpg

Judging by the bucket seats, the roll cage, and the fat rear tires(not pictured), this car was made for the dragstrip.

227682641_038(800x600).jpg.cfe46a42436023a63ac746b81aee1f49.jpg

The car.

903350429_039(800x600).jpg.881effc9f478d0c14a23bb6a6133bcac.jpg

This is one of my favorite shades of blue.

1976150479_040(800x600).jpg.aa0312e84c85ae72636cfaecd080e5b7.jpg

My dad's a sucker for Mach 1s. This was his favorite.

2102737196_041(800x600).jpg.71bb5e91020b053fa138b6a7f654bd65.jpg

This '58 Impala just screams "old school".

1212218131_042(800x600).jpg.dd8e675c48cf8467ab3b52d56e31f940.jpg

So does the interior.

48495144_043(800x600).jpg.c8b320228e5a1ee9f900978bb759a3d7.jpg

Can't think of a caption for this.

442634448_044(800x600).jpg.4046876e4b12e3b9868b854272e9a39a.jpg

Those fins can only mean one thing... it's a '59 El Dorado! I don't have anymore pictures of this, sorry.

368278955_045(800x600).jpg.39c4024ec4a552e151f6ec2a56f1d57d.jpg

This was another nice restomod. I think it's a Nova, correct me if I'm wrong.

 

Second half of the pictures coming later.

Part Two!

976551369_046(800x600).jpg.dea54997defdb291ce56af3ed88cfee5.jpg

This was my favorite Bel-Air of the show.

915911713_047(800x600).jpg.c17e7151cc5eb3370ec6d3c00ea6e9e6.jpg

Partly because it has a sexy chick on the air intake.

654884202_048(800x600).jpg.3efb66b605c114ea680a010ae964aecb.jpg

There's just something about these Rat Rods that just makes them look "mean".

1131382764_049(800x600).jpg.f58d775a5a74f76b2ec4023b5a279947.jpg

Now this is my favorite color for a car. For sale you say? hhmmm...

1053475015_050(800x600).jpg.82f267a25b4ac06b7a0eb976b5ea0211.jpg

Was a car this small ever meant to have an engine this big?

342740996_051(800x600).jpg.453a3bcc9ff69f5e36afb711323a4eaa.jpg

This was one of my favorites of the show.

1581836319_052(800x600).jpg.c4c6ea53faf3b5bd541d4fdf4f4f8e1f.jpg

For some people, all that matters is how low their car can get.

1708256126_053(800x600).jpg.89884c9427481e4cbda8d1a7e865201d.jpg

This is a real, for lack of a better term, "aggressive" shade of blue.

1210073370_054(800x600).jpg.436d9849ae5004f24a423d15463cf2ac.jpg

That's a lot of trophies for one car. In case you can't read the sign it's an all-original Ford Torino GT.

348661735_055(800x600).jpg.031b2b2ddbe4acd65be8de6588cdbb25.jpg

Original paint.

1559362031_056(800x600).jpg.3659236bd71a36f483fc71a3b19f92dd.jpg

Original engine.

572348659_057(800x600).jpg.b31a6064121a156c5cf75fa9bc8b1013.jpg

Original interior.

1657388889_058(800x600).jpg.3f4e49a550ba8b8c36db5d9510b6fc63.jpg

YES!!! A '65 Fastback! My all-time favorite muscle car.

657640779_059(800x600).jpg.63befa4ff2e495fb97e9abd06154580a.jpg

A De Tomaso Pantera. One of the few cars I ever thought I would see in person.

891902785_060(800x600).jpg.b1a040743db67241e013ab7df226e4cc.jpg

The red and white two-tone of the '60 Corvette is probably one of the most iconic paint jobs.

1919179326_061(800x600).jpg.d18c9a61c14e7610ca393a417925b7dd.jpg

Black/red or red/black is my favorite color scheme for a car.

281354250_062(800x600).jpg.1a27ae37b2def3e231089fa5d9b1a94c.jpg

This was my favorite interior of the show.

931884860_063(800x600).jpg.33cd1737b7976e1eee100f5dc25dc437.jpg

LOL! Noted!

1540550717_064(800x600).jpg.8912e3886e07f74035eef6adfcee99fa.jpg

This was some nice detailing work. I can't remember what car it was though.

1029116806_065(800x600).jpg.d59b87526c8ee87f26ea4ce544b62833.jpg

Again, don't remember the car, but nice detailing.

1043554424_066(800x600).jpg.d96ed3b67ae287bc46efb9b588454e21.jpg

It's kinda hard to tell, but that's a really deep purple.

1685984760_067(800x600).jpg.2707400c0ab6be19be3dda2e1c19ab2c.jpg

I'm normally not a fan of the color copper on cars, but it really works here.

1469759590_068(800x600).jpg.b91b7deef70530864d1fc0fd91ef7700.jpg

A Cadillac La Salle. Didn't think I would see one of these up close.

1428033039_069(800x600).jpg.9be260813cc4ba8fff76d87b3ee4e57b.jpg

It even has a trailer to match.

1793153966_070(800x600).jpg.873ff61aa90363f76815fdd69201a25c.jpg

This is the only time a school bus will ever look badass.

747078442_071(800x600).jpg.d57754557f57c8d5ff6f36aacdd3a1d6.jpg

1244142720_072(800x600).jpg.8e7ed849a03908441bd38a538adc667e.jpg

The reason I like the '55 Bel-Air more than the '57 is because they all have two-tone paint jobs whereas most '57s only have a single color.

1745589637_073(800x600).jpg.1fe5465f8e75eea4628f32300d50c6f4.jpg

Meep! Meep! Get it... it's a Road Runner?

606119391_074(800x600).jpg.2362a59c84d643eed0e75edc117c1488.jpg

Classic old-school flame job.

883570384_075(800x600).jpg.59b046db5a8db0ef78181d3de9fec984.jpg

I liked the rubber cobra on the engine of this old Shelby.

60633520_076(800x600).jpg.ab495f53314702f4d37046d268dacddb.jpg

1909 Ford. The oldest car I've ever seen in person.

929316057_077(800x600).jpg.d1c4bfbcc57f6f6ae04cad7e32c6720a.jpg

It even has wooden rims.

544886665_078(800x600).jpg.9fd1129868c8b5dfe7c4c1bdff3cdc96.jpg

A Rolls Royce Silver Cloud Limousine. It doesn't get any more elegant than this.

1250157522_079(800x600).jpg.3b52c5684476773658dd5b753e2e7dfe.jpg

There was even an old Porsche.

155189491_080(800x600).jpg.816194180d98092d15f1840348dfdda4.jpg

Me too, me too.

571077859_081(800x600).jpg.1beb6282b656b0a21fa1b09c8f4db7bb.jpg

This is messed up on so many levels!

1607080745_082(800x600).jpg.7d8ce7ddd70d2d49bd8043bf0a07eeeb.jpg

More wooden rims! There were actually at least 2 more cars with wooden rims but I felt like taking more pictures of them would get kind of redundant.

1673143742_083(800x600).jpg.1e768c968f624988be6cda0fce701b48.jpg

I don't care what anybody says about how rough they ride, driving a T-Bucket is really high on my (T)bucket list.

925119690_084(800x600).jpg.506d5e992d5c9d609bda49e20144fbe6.jpg

You don't see very many Mavericks. And this one is in perfect shape.

2060395645_085(800x600).jpg.57c3a8804b579d2f11a42fe7c0561a59.jpg

I take it back. This is my favorite shade of blue.

717142290_086(800x600).jpg.bc029184b39bb296a25e67704971dbe4.jpg

I caught this right as it was pulling out, and I wish pictures could record sounds. This thing was LOUD! I mean make the entire ground shake, make your internal organs vibrate inside of you, make your vision shake loud!

 

That's all the pictures I took of this show. Hope you enjoyed!
