Vintage Vehicles, Downtown

Last weekend, on Lewis Street, we were baffled at how all of the cars parked there were so beautiful. Featured in the above photo are a vintage Carolina-blue Thunderbird and a Mary-Kay, pink Dodge Charger, plus a late model, maroon GMC. The vehicles were parked between the Lotus Lounge and Gibbs Hundred. Greensboro-ians love their vehicles, and it seems like the amazing vintage vehicles are a popular mode of transportation on the weekend. There are two Thunderbird Clubs in North Carolina, one in Durham and one in Statesville, but none in Greensboro. We're betting that the owner of the above Thunderbird belongs to an organization to celebrate the car.

July 19th, the Triad Sports Car Club will hold an event at the Dixie Classic Fairgrounds. It would be a great start, if you are interested in seeing and showing vintage vehicles. In the meantime, we're betting that you could learn a lot, just by visiting Lewis Street. People who are fortunate enough to have these beautiful vehicles LOVE to talk about cars. Bring out your vehicle and share it with us.

Powder blue and pink, how fabulous.. you found a fab vintage car threesome here Janis. You're right the old cars come out for an airing at the weekends :)

Quite a classic! There was a show of them here the same weekend we had Doors Open, and I took a bunch of shots.

Those were the days - when a T-Bird was a T-Bird. That's about a 1957, I think as it looks very similar, fin-wise, to our 1957 Ford Fairlane which some dingbat writing in some auto column called one of the world's ugly cars which it was not. It was beautiful. It was also a lemon, but that's another story!
