Antique Alley in Maypearl

Lynne went grocery shopping in Waxahachie this morning. On her way how she saw sign that said, "Antique Alley- Waxahachie to Cleburne". I guess the event is getting "longer". I went back to Maypearl with her when she got home so we could look around. We parked on the street in front of Davids and walked over to the bank parking lot for the car show.
This is a Hupmobile. I was talking to Coach Ellis about it and he said it is only one of four still in existence. It's a pretty rare car.

I like that red and white Corvette.
I think these were my two favorite cars at the show. They are real Hot Rods. Made by the guys that drive them from whatever parts they could find. I've heard them called "Rat Rods" by some people.
This is the interior of one of the cars. It looks like your rear end would be sitting about 6 inches off the pavement in this thing.
This is the other end of the spectrum. High gloss paint and well polished. I would, of course, drive this too.

Here is an overview of the parking lot. A lot of nice steel at the bank today.
There were several people set up down town as well as several shops open to sell.
This building had been remodeled recently and was opened for sellers to use. It's also for lease if anyone is interested.
The plaza was set up with a bounce house for the kids, several booths, and a live band.
The band was set up at the back of the plaza. They started playing just before we left.
The Mercantile was open in the old bank building also.
The feed store was open too.
