(Words and photos by Doug Gregory) –\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>Help me out here.\u00a0 I have never understood why people leave an outdoor car cruise\/show when it\u2019s raining unless it doesn\u2019t have windows or a top or something like that.\u00a0 The car is only going to get wet and I bet you almost everyone has a chamois or squeegee with them to get it dry again.\u00a0 When you drive your car in the rain it is now not only wet, but it\u2019s dirty too.\u00a0 I honestly don\u2019t get it.\u00a0 Regardless we had folks coming in as others were leaving so I think things evened out.\u00a0 I tried to catch some as they left, but with any precipitation over a few drops and I\u2019m keeping my camera under a canopy.\u00a0 Luckily the local radio stations had set up several along the sidewalk and were inviting folks to come in to stay dry.\u00a0 Many thanks to them.<\/p>\n

Folks who stayed or came in later were rewarded with clearing skies and warmer temperatures.<\/p>\n

The look the pale green GMC fat-fender exhibits fits this truck to a T.<\/p>\n

\u201955 sedan delivery isn\u2019t leaving\u2026.he\u2019s finding a place to park after driving in while it was still coming down pretty good.<\/p>\n

The scalloped red S10 was built by a friend of mine, Mark Portman, from Louisville, KY back in 1988-89 with the paintwork done by none other than Danny Taylor.\u00a0 The truck was in a bunch of magazines and Mark sold it in Pigeon Forge in 1992.\u00a0 He\u2019d lost track of it until I showed him photos I took of it in Cynthiana back in 2013.\u00a0 Pretty cool it still looks much the same after 30 years.<\/p>\n

People who have been on or follow Hot Rods Power Tour will likely recognize the Fisk family crusty, 4BT-powered Buick Hearse.\u00a0 They\u2019re local to us and we need to get back out to their place and snap photos of their automotive hoarde.<\/p>\n

The high-rolling red Chevy Nova with 454 badges and Cragar S\/S wheels looks like it fell off the pages of a 1970s gearhead magazine.<\/p>\n

Stay tuned for more photos taken before things started to dry up.<\/p>\n
