Phil Meador’s inaugural Summer AutoFest, with dozens of show quality vehicles inside the Pine Ridge Mall in Chubbuck, Idaho, and more vehicles outside the mall, during the weekend of 24th through 25th August 2024.

The event was organized by the Pocatello Car Club, with assistance from the Idaho Classic and Modern Muscle car club.

Professional car painting was available:

A table with some tiny cars.

The show actually started Friday evening. It took at least two hours to stage the vehicles inside the mall, and more would show up on Saturday and Sunday.  Here’s a short example, part-1:

Part-2, things started getting nit-picky:

Outside there were plenty of food trucks.

And there were other vendors.

There were plenty of cars outside, but it felt like some vehicle owners would leave not long after arriving:

Missed the demo, was trying to hold a conversation and video record at the same time, realized too late the camera was off for most of the dance:

SAC Show, June 2023: Lowriders

Summer AutoFest: Snow White ’68 GTO

Full scale kit-bash? The builder claims it is a Chevy Truck!

Actually, the builder says it is the remains of several 1980s Chevy trucks, which were rotting away on his property.  Plus, wherever else he could add from his junk collection.

This is the front.

Special custom air cleaner? I thought the builder was trying to keep the rain off the motor, but no, he just needed somewhere to put an abandoned trash can lid.

It took place in O.K. Ward Park, on the northwest side of Pocatello, on 08AUG2024.

The rear steering requires somebody to sit in the back and operate with a crank handle.

Here’s my video:

Rear steering gearbox and rear axle are from the front of an old 1980s pickup.

The current owner gave me the back story to this 1966 Chevy-2 Super Sport.  The original owner used it for drag racing until finally permanently parking the car in his garage.  After more than a decade, another guy came along looking for a project to use his Chevy LS-1 motor and 6-speed manual transmission on.

The current owner revealed to me that the old-skool fuel injector set-up is fake, it is actually a glorified air cleaner housing for the carburetor hidden underneath!

Even though it has a modern 6-speed manual transmission, it sports an old Hurst style 4-speed shifter.

The current owner drives his fake-news gasser around town whenever he can, yes it is street legal.
