Goodguys car show at Del Mar Fairgrounds

Went to the car show yesterday. They advertised 2,500 cars, & it certainly seemed like it. Only one Porsche, which may have been a kit. Had a rhinestone finish & wasn't worth a picture. Here are a few of the ones I found different/interesting. I had to downsize my pics, which were all over 5mb. It was car overload. One of the highlights for me was when they started and ran the display of '60s slingshot dragsters with blowers & hemis. Great sounds.

I just read that some of the later ones had rudder pedals added so that they could be used in flight schools.

I don't know if those were 'spin-proof' like the ones without rudder pedals.

Good call Brian, looks a bit like a Lego batmobile. Interesting color choice.

POS?

I like most of GM's European transplants.

Is there a Cadillac even offered which isn't based on one of them?

I watched the film "Armored" (2009?) last night, they had a top/aerial view of a gold Buick-Riviera similar to below, which was a rather esoteric moment or pause in the plot which built up to a violent end. Thankfully the car was not part of the explosive ending.
