Views of the Neighborhood – Car Show

~ John W. Howell

Last Sunday, there was an auto show in the next town of Bee Cave. It is called the Rolling Sculpture Car Show. The show benefitted the Bee Cave Library, and there were over 120 cars on display. There were antique, custom, restored, and new vehicles. Of course, I can’t post 120 pictures, so here is a representative sample. Also, you must know that  was born and raised in Detroit so anything auto is my cup of tea,

A 1958 MGB 1500.

A 1966 Mustang

I have been working in business for over forty years and now have the time to work in special areas of interest. My passion has always been to create compelling stories of fiction. I have authored six novels and am working on my Seventh. The first novel is still in manuscript form and being utilized as a door stop in the laundry room. The second is a contemporary fiction novel of 89,000 words and is complete and I am currently seeking a publisher. I also write poetry but have not had the guts to share any with anyone. The one time I read a piece to a person their only comment was, “it doesn’t rhyme.” I will continue to write and hopefully my blog, Fiction Favorites at www.johnwhowell.com will provide some entertainment and an interesting thought or two. I live in the Austin area with my wife Molly and an assortment of loving pets.

  1. I always love to see the classic cars, John. I’ve never seen the Cadillac station wagon either…it’s so long! I love the Willy Overland Wagon. Thanks for taking us along. I enjoy this! Happy Sunday!

  4. It’s always fun to wander around the classic car shows. I don’t know much about cars, but I love the excitement and the walk through the century. 🙂

  8. I smiled at that hook ’em horns orange mustang. If anyone was unsure, the license plate would confirm the owner’s sympathies. As for that VW Beetle? It’s a little unnerving to see my first car in a car show, as though it’s old, or something!

      1. What a great article, Greg. I enjoyed it immensely. Reminded me of my 1949 Ford Club Coupe. It was my first and had a mind of it’s own. By the time we had to part I felt it was a brother from another mother.

  9. I don’t actually like cars, but do love classic cars and we have been to a few shows locally; the owners do an amazing job looking after them. I’m going to have the MG in racing car green which is the same age as me – disconcerting to be vintage!

      1. Thanks, John. I’m weak at present so it will take a while but I have no choice. The doctors say “keep your feet above your heart when sleeping” and the physical therapists say “walk”. The problem is when I walk or am up and about for a short time my foot begins to swell again. I hope to find a happy medium. 🙂 — Suzanne

  19. Oh, my, John, these are wonderful! I, too, have loved cars almost my entire life, probably something I “inherited” from my late dad. I can totally see you and the Producer in that first MGB 1500 — sorry Twiggy and Lucy, that would be an adult trip!

  27. I can’t believe Caillac MADE a station wagon!
    And man… back when cars had personality… nowadays they all look alike.
    Great shots!

  32. Wow! I thoroughly enjoyed the car show. The Cadillac station wagon is huge. How can so many antique cars be from the 60’s? I mean, that was just a few years ago…
