American Italian Club Car Show

You couldn’t ask for a more beautiful day in Phoenix to check out the local cars, trucks, and enjoy live music. The sky was clear, and the chrome shone with a pristine luster, brightening the day all the more, making it a perfect opportunity to snap a few pictures. The November 8th car show was Nancy Perry’s second appearance at the American Italian Club, located at 7509 N. 12th St., Phoenix, Arizona, which took place from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM. With dozens of cool cars on display, there was no shortage of stunning eye candy, including street rods, muscle cars, sports cars, race cars, and classics.

Texas Roadhouse Car Show

The Texas Roadhouse hosted a car show on Saturday from 11 AM to 3 PM at 8510 S. Emerald Dr. in Tempe, AZ. While it was a relatively small show compared to most in the valley, there were some notable cars, including a few AC Cobras, classic Mustang Mach 1s, and late 60s Camaros, as well as a nice blue Corvette C3 Stingray. As always, I enjoy chatting with fellow car enthusiasts and snapping off a few pics to share the experience.

Vintage Aircraft & Custom Car Show

Yesterday’s Vintage Aircraft & Custom Car Show at the Commemorative Air Force Museum was one of the best car shows I’ve been to in a while. Presented by Southwest Street Rods, the show featured cool custom rods, antique aircraft & WWII war birds, food trucks, and a great crowd. As with many car shows, this one was a benefit for a charity organization, this time for MAM (Military Assistance Mission), which provided financial and morale support to our current Arizona military, their families, and post-9/11 Purple Heart recipients.
