Carlisle 2013 Pictures

[67valiant 100]

We got first in the '69-'78 C-bodies with our '70 Newport convertible. My father restored it back in '99-'01 & has only washed the car since, never even buffed it since it was painted. We were really excited to find out we won, no less first!! ccasion14:

That's great C-barge, congrats!

Now we know what it takes to win first .... wide whites....

I guess, sure wasn't STOCK

I looked up the rules and the class qualifications says up to 3 mods to a car are acceptable in the stock class.

We all have seen cars win there with 50 mods in stock class, they don't police it and that's fine. That's why its called the fun field

Absolutely......as long as it isn't clownish with 22's and other associated gaudy donked mods. BTW, I didn't see a single donked C-Body at Carlisle.

I saw a car with huge rims......but if "donked" means big rims AND lowered, than no, I didn't notice any "donked" rides.

But there are four tires.........

But there are four tires.........

LOL! I believe they count all 4 tires as one mod.

I did see insane sized wheels for sale in the Midway vendor tent.

Aaah!!, you know what, I stand corrected....that's where I saw the huge rims. Just assumed because I remember them it was on a car. Its all becoming one big blur now.

I'm really burned out any anything bling now. I mean, not even a chrome license plate frame.

Year One had their 69 Plymouth B body convertible with those wheels on display.... I guess to demonstrate extremely poor taste in car mods.

I agree but the trend has gone waaaay away from chrome. Dodge even offers many of its new vehicles with the blacktop package (no chrome whatsoever).

I'm talking about the PepBoy crap for older cars.
I'm totally disgusted with modern cars.

Here's another Year One car at Carlisle...

Thats the one I was refering to Bob. A perfect example of extremely poor taste in an attempt to improve on something that dosen't need improving...... Year One is a master of that....!
