Went to the Spokes on 66 Show in Grants NM yesterday. Just a few pics of the masterful work on cars that used to be more than wheeled appliances..
1957 Buick
1941 Chevy in front of a 1928 Dodge
Wouldn’t be New Mexico without low riders
How about a low riding bike?
My parent’s 1965 Comet never looked this good.
1955 Chevy
Everyone is welcome in New Mexico.
Some cool cars. Local car shows were a bigger thing around here a few years ago but people seem to be losing interest.
These shows are actually getting more popular here. There’s a surprisingly number of people restoring older cars. The climate can be forgiving to cars.
There’s also a lot of interest because 2026 is the centennial of Route 66. Each of the 8 states with parts of the old road, even Kansas with its 13 mile stretch, has a Route 66 Association and each is planning some events. The Springfields, Illinois and Missouri, and Tulsa OK have already planned large car shows and other events. I know of two car groups that have announced plans for driving the current 2,200+ mile route. Even my wife and I are tossing around the idea of doing the route.
