Chevy DeLuxe-o-the-Irish?

Apparently the lucky owner of this 1932 cabriolet easily won it at an auction because almost nobody else was interested! On top of that, when it arrived it had everything, including a working top and an original trunk.

Snow white El Camino!

The real Panda Express?

Perhaps this 1940 Ford DeLuxe made the Burma Run in less than 12 chop suey-ies? (this is my reference to the Burma/China Theater of war during the Second World War)

The Idaho State Veterans Home in Pocatello, Idaho, conducted a car show and barbeque to honor fellow veterans, on 14JUN2025.

Snow white El Camino!

My imagery fails to reveal the pearl paint, which looks like ice crystals sparkling on freshly fallen snow.

A Black Horse!

A Chevy 3100 pickup arrived at the Oldies Rod & Custom car show (for the Pocatello Senior Activity Center), and it’s not the first time I’ve seen this dark horse from 1956.

The ‘SAC show’ was held on 14JUN2025.

Celebrate Blackfoot, 2025!

The City of Blackfoot held its Celebrate Blackfoot (aka Blackfoot Pride Days) event, 27-28JUN2025.  The event has been a yearly thing for more than a decade (except during the hyperbolic ‘pland-emic’).  Note that Chamber of Commerce officials estimate that between 8-thousand and 10-thousand people attend the annual event and consider the City has an official federal Census population of only 13,380!

Many, many years ago the celebration supposedly started out as a community clean-up day, then evolved into three days of various events. Sometime in the late two thousand teens (maybe in 2020? Pland-emic times) the name was changed from Blackfoot Pride Days to Celebrate Blackfoot.

Normally, the events center around the pond known as Jensen Grove and of course involves several water-sporting events, but not this year.  There was so much water running high and fast in the nearby Snake River that the diversion dam, which feeds Jensen Grove, was undermined and had to be shutdown.

The only water in the pond is coming from a local canal which doesn’t provide enough to fill Jensen Grove. The City estimates it’ll cost them short of $200-thousand to fix the diversion dam.

Hungry?:

There was still a lot of vendors (especially food), a cool car show…

and of course the fireworks show!

After the fireworks the mass exodus begins.

Old Timers, twins?

A couple of old Fords showed up at the Oldies Rod & Custom car show (for the Pocatello Senior Activity Center), and they could have been twins.

The ‘SAC show’ was held on 14JUN2025.

The two Fords are owned by one family.

From the Land of Oz?: Green (with envy) ’63 Impala!

In 1939, Dodge created what would be known as Job Rated pickup trucks. Starting with the T series, then the V, then the W, right through the end of World War Two and beyond to 1947.

The militaries of Australia, Canada and the United States had their own versions. In Australia and Canada they were sold under the Fargo brand.

On 14JUN2025, the Idaho State Veterans Home in Pocatello, Idaho, put on a car show and barbeque to honor veterans.
