St. Francis Antique Car Show

For my inaugural post on From Bellingham to Blaine, I'm presenting a few photos I took at the St. Francis Antique Car Show. The show took place at the St. Francis of Bellingham nursing care facility near St. Joseph Hospital.

The show featured about 15 classic and antique cars, some living up to the "antique" moniker more than others. The cars varied in age from the 1910s on up through the 1960s and 70s. The people at St. Francis also provided free food in the form of hot dogs and chips. Even without the cars present, I found it difficult to pass up the opportunity for free food.

My paltry 23 years on this planet put me in the younger age range of the roughly 30-strong crowd at the show. Hell, all the cars were even older than me. Car show culture is always something with which I've been incredibly fascinated. The love of the automobile and the freedom it brings its owner seems to be uniquely American.

Without further ado, here are some photographic highlights. You can check out the entire album here.

This was one of the three Ford Model-Ts in attendance.

The oldest car at the show: a 1913 Model T Speedster.

Controls don't get much simpler than that.

A 1958 Corvette. According to the owner, 1958 was the only year they offered the car in this "Panama Yellow."

A classic Ford Thunderbird. 

Well, that's all the pictures I'm going to cram into this post. Once again, you can find the entire album here.
