Automotive Memories


There is no shortage of automotive related events these days. My club, Mustang Owners Club of Austin, sponsors an annual car show with Ford powered vehicles to raise money for charity.

LONESTAR ROUND UP IN AUSTIN TEXASThe Lonestar Round Up is held annually in Austin, TX and has a national following. We've found some old photos from the 2005 Round Up to share.

Lone Star Street Rod AssociationHere are some photos from the 2006 Lone Star Street Rod Association's rod run held annually at Lady Bird Johnson Park in Fredericksburg, TX. The 3 day event draws car owners from all over Texas.

South Texas Car Club The South Texas Car Club sponsors several open car shows around Central Texas each year. Here are some photos from the 2007 event at the Live Oak Civic Center.

The 2008 STCC Live Oak show was outstanding in the quality of cars. I've tried to capture some of the best of the best to illustrate the beauty of automotive history.

Photos of the 2009 and 2010 Live Oak shows are combined on one page. There are some old favorites and some definitely different new entries.

2007 STERLING MCCALL MUSEUM AUCTIONA great place to see and appreciate classic automotive history is an auction. In 2007 the Sterling McCall Museum sold off several automobiles including some extremely rare models. Photos of just a few are available here along with some of the bidding results.
2008 TEXAS CORVETTE ASSOCIATION CAR SHOWFor the 2008 Texas Corvette Association show I focused on some of the distinguishing styling cues of Corvettes through the years in addition to the other various classics that attended.

HOT ROD HONEYSAustin hot rod and classic car owners drove to the local oval track to be part of the 2008 calendar shoot for the Hot Rod Honeys, one of the Texas Rollergirls teams. It made for some interesting photos.
2009 SPRING FLING IN ROSENBERG TEXASOne of the more popular classic car shows in Texas is the annual Spring Fling held in Rosenberg.

Here are just a few of the great rides on display in 2009.
