Hastings Car Show going strong

Monthly summer event gets better and better

Even the new Ford Bronco made its way to the Hastings Car Show. One of the sales guys was on hand to talk to folks about the vehicle which was quite roomy inside.

This hot rod has an awesome, aggressive look to it like it belongs on the drag strip. Is it street legal? It was seen driving by M&H later in the day, so it must be.

This 1955 Chevy won the people’s choice award for the contest held at the car show.

This was described as a Shelby Cobra Hardtop with a 557 cubic inch engine. Not sure of the year, but it sure is a neat looking car.

The classic yellow to red hot rod flames look great on this lowered truck chassis.

It is amazing how the volume of people on the streets ebb and flow. One minute it looks like everyone left, the next they are packed.

I get to have a favorite, right? There is just something about the fastback look on this car that looks so retro and cool. This is a first-generation Ford Mustang Mach 1 edition that is either a 1969 or 1970 model. This was a sharp looking car, even to a non-Ford guy.

Multiple vendors were staged throughout the car show to give people both food and beverage choices as well as share information about local businesses.
