American cars from Detroit (and South Bend, IN) are showcased at one of the coolest small-town car shows in the country. Jim Palam captured the moment for
the CAR GUY CHRONICLES.
This year the Los Alamos Valley Men’s Club hosted its 66th annual Old Days Celebration and its centerpiece was a colorful American Classic Car Show. Los Alamos is a tiny cowboy town with a population of under 2,000, located at the intersection of US Highway 101 and State Route 135 (Bell Street). It’s just an hour north of Santa Barbara, CA. Studebaker Silver Hawk and Mercury Turnpike Cruiser, above, brought back the good old days!
Rat Rod and Studebaker Avanti, above, show the eclectic range of cars at the show.
This year Los Alamos celebrated “136 Years of History,” but it was the selection of cars, mostly metal except for Corvettes and an Avanti, that grabbed Jim Palam’s eye. No show would be complete without 1950s Buicks and Chevy Impalas, below.
