Spring Fling, best place to find Superbirds and Daytonas

I thought it would be interesting to look at the breakdown of what the options were on a bird

There wasn't any way to photograph the above display board without all the reflections obscuring the text, but at the angle I took the photo, all you have to do is click on it for the full size version to read most of it

It may be re-sale or arrest me... but it was a lot of red paint everywhere at Spring Fling

Spring fling, New Yorker, woody, and Road Runner

I like the way the radio module is framed in this shot by the seat back, and the roof/headliner area of the station wagon rear edge

This is the only woody I found

Colors of Spring Fling, the Mopar show for the West Coast, Southern California

79 Dodge Magnum from the CPW club

Shelby is selling the magazine feature 77 Pacer D/L wagon with fuel injection and overdrive (factory). Of course the downside is that it's a Pacer

Matador X... at Coronado, how'd that slip past the car snobs?

http://www.javelinamx.com/JavHome/articles/matx-rt.htm for a Motor Trend evaluation of the Matador when it was released

These photos reflect the Southern California feeling, convertibles and sports cars, and custom trucks.

Stuff that caught my eye at Coronado's annual car show

42 Hp... that's cute

Nice prop to have in your car!

I've been looking for this car with the hubcap airfilter housing... way cool modification!

The Chevrolet dealership that sponsored the show had rockstar parking for their Camaros.

Airguide made gauges for boats and yachts, You can buy NOS ones here: http://www.classicboatwork.com/classicparts/gauges/airguide/airguide.html

The above speedometer is in a Buick LeSabre, and what you are actually looking at is a mirror that has an adjustment to the angle for people of different height. A technical innovation to keep all the instruments in the lower area of the dash in order to repair them easily. Damn nice design feature, and unique too!

Allis Chalmers grader that the City of Coronado once owned was at the Coronado car show, but off to one end of a street... not showcased
