Colchester Green Cruise 2019 Finale

Weatherwise, at least,  2019 has been a tough year for the Colchester Green Car Show. They have had to postpone or even cancel several of their monthly shows due to the inclement weather. Not so tonight, however:  a beautiful quasi-fall day with a decent turnout for the season finale!  Even Channel 3 Hartford was on The Green tonight! 

Channel 3 Hartford was on the scene.

I told them I was gonna make them famous... by putting them on my blog!  ;)

Hot Rods. 

Pontiac

For Rob Siegel.

Cadillac Convertible

1964 Chevy

Part of the German contingent.

Another German representative.

Historic Bacon Academy is hidden by the trees at the left.

For the history buffs in the crowd:  here is what that scene looked like in 1803.

You don't see one of these very often!  A blown Pinto dragster! 

Yikes!  ;)

Buick Skylark convertible.

Yet another German rep!

OK, everybody knows I have a soft spot for Road Runners, especially blue ones!  Awesome!

One of two Corvairs on the field tonight!  The other was a Monza! 

The Baurspotting Baur in the middle.  ;)

One of these cars is the real deal. Only one.  The other is a .... kit car.  ;)

Kit car on the left.  OK, it's cool.  But the REAL thing (AC Cobra) would be worth about a million bucks! 

1955 Dodge Truck!  Very close resemblance to my old 1953 Dodge from my high school days in the late 1960s.

Another German entry.  A cousin of the VW.  I think they call it a Porsche.  ;)

Trucks are popular at the Colchester Show!

Channel 3 again! 

Chrome and fins era. 

Studebaker convertible.  Wow! 

1961 Chevy Convertible

A Trophy Winner.

Another Road Runner. 

Mercury Cougar.

Andrew Wilson Joins The Baur World!

Congratulations to our friend, Andrew Wilson, on his newest acquisition:  a 1969 BMW 1600 Cabriolet by Baur! This comes as a total surprise to us, although we do know that Andrew has expressed an interest in the Baur Cabrios over the years! 

Andrew informs us that he arranged the purchase through Mario Langsten at VSR in Maine, and that the car was restored in japan in the 1980s.  Mario apparently also gave it a name:  Veronica!  A nice match with Andrew's other 2002:  his Verona 'Vern'.  

And btw, we believe that this may make TWO red 1600 Baur Cabrio in Maine.  Scroll down to see some file pics that we have from July 18, 2017.  Although they are very similar, it does appear that they are two different cars.  ;)

So, congratulations to Andrew and Cindy, and Welcome to our Baur World!  And welcome to Baurspotting! 

Here are some photos that we have on file of another 1600 Baur Cabrio in Maine.  This one was spotted by Joe Goldsberry in Wells, Maine in July 2017. 

Congratulations to Andrew and Cindy!

P.S.  Here is a photo of Andrew Wilson's 'Vern', who will be "Veronica's" garage mate.  ;)
