Pine Ridge Mall: The car show Instigator! And his steed, The Midnight Corvette!

Possibly at the behest of a Motor-Gear-Head Instigator, the Pine Ridge Mall in Chubbuck, Idaho, held its first ever indoor Winter/New Year automobile show.  It was the weekend of January 13th & 14th, 2024.

The Instigator, giving Ol’ Midnight a rub-down for the Pine Ridge Mall auto-show, 14JAN2024.

This lady couldn’t get enough of Midnight, her eyeballs were all over that paint-job.

Video (by me) of the magnificent 1976 Midnight ‘Vette, 14JAN2024:

The show started on the 9th hour of the day, I arrived about an hour-n-half late, and was greeted by the roar of monster motors, video by me:

There was a constant coming-and-going of people and machines. More videos by me:

By the 12th hour the parking lot was jumping, more videos by me:

A group called SE Idaho Bass Heads helped raise $685 for the local Toys for Tots.

The Trunk-Treat began in the 15th hour:

By the 18th hour it was all over, and some guy named Crazy Carl thought the show was the awesome-ist yet!

On 21OCT2023, a big pre-Halloween car show/USMC-Reserve’s Toys-4-Tots drive/Trunk or Treat was held in the Old Town area of Pocatello, Idaho. The owners of this vehicle said they bought it as a curiosity, but they’ve been amazed by how much practical use they’ve gotten out of the big ol’ tow truck.

Original faded paint, missing the rear luggage rack, and it’s for sale!

It’s for sale, but it seems people is more interested in the dog:

I’ve been attending Chubbuck Days since 1998, the previous Chubbuck Days car show was in 2016, with much reduced participation and many of the vehicles being for sale.

CAR SHOW & HELICOPTER FORCED LANDING

After 2016, the so-called neighborhood improvement projects blocked access to Cotant Park, along with the park’s playground and tennis courts being ripped-up and replaced by a parking lot (also, the substitute park chosen for Chubbuck Days was too small to accommodate a car show), with the projects completed just in time for the ‘Pland-emic’ Paranoia which resulted in the cancelation of all local public events.
