Karem Shriners Classic Car Show
 

Went to Karem today, smaller turnout of only about 100 cars and trucks. Disappointed that there were only 2 AD's and a few other older trucks. Last year there were 5 all original and a couple of restomods.

Karem is the only show in Texas in August, where you can walk in the shade and admire old cars. When we pulled out it was 99, but in the shade with a little breeze that was blowing, it was comfortable. Here the two ADs:

This one was as all original as the owner could make it. He pop riveted a lower riders rear cab corner on and then patina'd it. He had several layers of clear coat over that patina.

This one was a 48 on an S10 frame.

I have no idea what the plastic work on the LS engine.
I asked the owner about it and all he knew was that it was on an S10 frame. Nothing else. He got it in April, took it to a body shop and had them cut the front fenders up so his wheels were more visible.

Here are a couple of other trucks there:

Man those look sweet! I wish I could've had a good patina, to many patches and a bed from another truck...
