1955 Chevy ‘Taxi’, again!

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.

I’m not a Chevrolet fanatic, but every time I see this 1955 ‘taxi’ I’m drawn to it like a moth to a flame!

Co-owner Suzie Bosquez stated: “We purchased it in 2008 and did all the body and paint ourselves. Designed the interior and had the bumpers rechromed. Installed custom head and tail lights. Switched out the 283 to a 350. She has a T10 rock crusher 4 speed muncie. She has master flow exhaust. We knew the previous owner and after a lot of pleading and begging he gave in and sold her to us!”

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.

Part 2: 1970 Chevy Malibu, Revell-Monogram merger, was it worth it?

I continue my laborious ramblings about why the one time issued Monogram 1/24 scale 1970 Chevy Malibu is so significant to me.

How did I end up in Idaho, and is ‘following the jobs’ worth it?

Poky Car Show, July 2023: Hot, Loud, Rude & Crude!

The free Pocatello Car Club show started at 17 hours (5pm), 22JUL2023, it was 100+ Fahrenheit (38+ C)! I started recording video (I need a real video camera) and stills at about 17:30 hours, cars were still rolling in, eventually they would have at least 1-hundred cars show up.

No audio on this video due to loud copyrighted music being played:

The rollout for the Pocatello Car Club cruise started at 19 hours (7pm), hot vehicles in the hot 100+ Fahrenheit climate:

This was the quiet street to view car show cruisers, even though Grandma claimed “I can’t hear you!”:

July’s action on Main Street wasn’t as loud as it was in June:

It seemed most of the car-cruise action was taking place in the Center Street ‘tunnel’:

Hunger Games U.S.A.: Pocatello SAC show, June 2023.

On 10JUN2023, the Oldies Rod & Custom Car Show was held in Historic Oldtown Pocatello, Idaho, to benefit the Senior Activity Center‘s (SAC) food delivery service: “It’s the people that we serve are underserved in our community. And so, it really helps with the nutrition for them so that they can hopefully stay in their homes longer and with activities and everything else. That’s part of our goal to.”-Pam Landon, Secretary for SAC

The automobile show was free to the public, proceeds from food vender sales, and raffle ticket sales, went to help SAC.  Just to let you know how much the help is needed, in 2022 the Pocatello SAC served more than 22-thousand meals to local old people.

Here is a sampling of the vehicles that were there (click on each image to make them bigger):

Walk around video of the show, which was supported by many local business sponsors, most of the video has no audio as they were blaring copyrighted music at the event:

Apparently, the first Oldies Rod & Custom Car Show to benefit Pocatello SAC was on 10JUN2018.
