Shop Shots Volume 47 Insider Pictures of Automotive Service
Today we are taking a little different turn from our normal pictures. With car show season coming up, I thought it would be cool to do a Shop Shots car show edition. This car show was something a little different for me. It was the Carolina Collector Auto Fest. This show deals mainly in old American made cars, and some really cool memorabilia.
This is not my “thing” when it comes to cars. That doesn’t really matter. There is still an amazing amount of history and innovation at these type of shows. Seeing car parts from the 40’s and 50’s is really cool. Think about how some technologies have come so far, and yet some are still basically the same. Okay, let’s get into some pictures!

- The Volkster

- I am in love with this interior
-
- Wagons are always cool in my book!
-
- By far the most interesting car at the show. They called this a Volkster
-
- So much engine in this Bonneville
-
- 1966 GTO
-
- Imagine when this is what a normal truck looked like
-
- I am really digging this matte red finish. I wonder what the Cabby would look like matte red.

- Cool interior

- Inside the Volkster
Some pretty cool cars. I did learn one thing. Make sure to take pictures of what type of car each one is. I don’t know my old cars well enough. If you can identify some of them, please post it in the comments.
That’s a good point about taking a picture of the name of the car. Kristin and I started doing that at car shows. We should all go to a show together sometime. I’d like to have a mechanic to tell me what all the gorgeous stuff I’m looking at actually does! 🙂
You got it man!
That Volkster is simply wicked! Wish you would have posted more pics of it. Quite a treat.
Love the photos, please take more and post them. I restored my dads VW in the 70’s and I documented the whole thing, it was a blast! – Thanks, Mike
