Many of the cars have been restored like a 1970 VW Bug or a Corvair Corsa. The street was lined with many cars of all types.
This restored Corvair was one of the cars on display.
There were also a bunch of Chevy Chevelles including a black 1970 SS model. The driver’s window looks like its at a drive in.

Fantastic looking motors are another part of the cars on display and much work has been done on most of them.
The motors also get some love and are on display as are the cars. While many are V-8’s there are others as well.
The motor in a 1970 Chevelle SS got the same love as the rest of the car.
A very different type of motor was in the back of a 1970 Corvair Corsa. This was the turbocharged version the pumped out a bunch of horsepower and was air cooled.
