A&W Cruise Night, 6/28/2011, Smithfield, RI

On a lark, I decided to head over on my little Honda to the weekly meet at the Smithfield, RI A&W. My bike gathered a small crowd as it often does whenever I bring it to a show, and of course people were compelled to wistfully tell me about their own little Hondas, which are now long gone. But that’s not the point of this post; this is about the cars that were there. It’s a small show for sure, but there were some interesting vehicles present. Here’s my favorites:

Buick Grand National

A Buick Grand National in amazing condition…especially with 100k on the odometer! There were two present at the show.

Chevy Camaro convertible pace car

Chevy Impala convertible

Ford Anglia

Cute, Phoebe-sized Ford Anglia hot rod.

Packard Standard Eight Station Wagon

A gorgeous Packard Standard Eight Station Wagon. I talked with the owner for a while and he opened the hood to show me the flathead straight eight motor (which I had never seen in person before). That car was soon joined by…

Packard 1934 Eleventh Series Super Eight Model 1104 seven-passenger touring car
