Children's Mercy Hospital Car Show - 11/25/2017

My friend, Brian Rollet and his wife hosted a charity event for Children's Mercy Hospital on a beautiful late November Saturday in the Lowes parking lot in Liberty, Missouri.  Thanks to the great weather, plenty of car owners showed up for the event.  The KC Corvette Club was there in force and I am a Corvette lover having owned three in the past.

The event was to collect new toys or money to buy toys for the kids at Children's Mercy Hospital so they can have a nice Christmas.

The car below is a really nice Chevrolet Monte Carlo that has over 400,000 miles on it.  the owners drive it on the streets all the time.



The car's old 8 track cassette player still works.


The is my friend's Dodge Dart Swinger loaded with toys.  After the show, it will take a caravan of cars to get all toys to the hospital.


Brian's car is loaded with more then just toys.



Brian and his wife, the organizers of the show.



This gets my heart pounding....a new Chevrolet Corvette.


A work of art.




Love the body color paint on the valve covers and other engine bay parts.


A pair of oldies but goodies.


Not your grandpa's car anymore.


Digital dash instruments with a tall shifter.


Another of my all time favorite cars.....the Chevrolet Chevelle.



There were too many cars at the show to photo them all.  We are so glad the show was such a success.

Spectacular Evening Clouds - 11/17/2017

Sigrid and I were enjoying a nice evening on our patio a couple of weeks ago when I notice some unusual cloud formations. They almost looked like the smoke left over from a fireworks display. Check out the photo in a larger size to see all the interesting details.
