Summer AutoFest: Climbing K10!

Almost everybody has heard of K2 (a peak associated with Mount Everest), but did you know there is a K10 (Saltoro Kangri, aka Peak 36).  The ‘K’ stands for the Karakoram Mountain Range.  Did the designers with General Motors know that when they dubbed their Chevy Squarebody the K10?

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

Summer AutoFest: Ole Blue Redo.

Reborn 1951 Chevy Styleline Deluxe, after surviving the fields of Lava.

The fields near Lava Hotsprings, Idaho, that is.  A married couple decided to revive the rusting hulk, because it reminded them of the car they used to go a-courtin’ in (which is why they had to get married, shhh).

Family and friends from across Eastern and Southeastern Idaho helped with the project.  The couple is no longer among us ‘living’ folk. Here’ my video:

In 2024, after some time sitting around, Ole Blue went to a new couple who has fun putting around in the early Cold War survivor.

Summer AutoFest: When does getting a ‘D’ equal getting ‘100’?

In grade school getting a ‘D’ was approaching failure, but not in the kool old-skool system, getting a D could be the same as getting 100!  A 1970 Dodge D100, that is.

1928 Ford, originally purchased in Oakland, California, on 20JUN1928, for a whopping price of $865 (including extras, and after a $10 deposit was paid)!

During The Great Depression that followed the original sale of this car, Ford Model As (and Model Ts) became true survival vehicles for people fleeing the murderous Dust Bowl for new life on the West Coast.  The car is now owned by one of the sponsors of the car show, here’s my video:
