Fuzzy Peaches and Automocars

This past weekend, Niagara-on-the-Lake had its Peach Festival, and a Vintage Car Show! Now while I messed up the dates for the Town's peach festival (turns out that was on Saturday, whoops!), a church on the main street was having their own peach festival the day after.  I am not one to turn down the possibility of pie for breakfast, so we made a stop at the festival Sunday morning to enjoy some pie (with ice cream for some of us) and peach punch (basically just canned peaches with Sprite).  Breakfast of champions, clearly!

I had known about a car show down the street from me for a while now, but I had no idea how big it was going to be! They even charged admission, which is unusual for these parts.  I love old cars though, so it had to happen.  I had my camera charged up and ready to roll! Ephraim and I tend to gravitate toward some items for the same aesthetic reasons, and cars tend to highlight that.  Needless to say, we both enjoyed the eye candy, and passed the camera back and forth a lot!




There were cars of many ages

Some sportier than others
And others with unexpected pops of colour!
These orange wheels got me.  My favourite colour on my favourite auto manufacturer of that time!
Fancy Grills (which I got all up in, paparazzi style)
Some fancy Caddy's (and some hood ornament photo ops)
cars of candy colours!

We also saw my favourite, the '54 Chevy! in the greatest colour, too!

Also there was an adorable bumblebee.  I'm not alone in thinking they're way too cute, am I?
That's all the gratuitous photos I have for you today!
Do you like vintage cars? Got any special models your heart pines to have in your driveway? If yes, can we be friends?! Haha cars seem to be an uncommon interest in gals these days!

    1. The pie was so good! I was a little disappointed it was store bought, but enjoyed with some ice cream outside under a tree? You can't beat that!
