Heritage Day Old Car Festival. Part 1.

We were invited to a local airfield for the car festival!

And as usual we arrived early, even before most of the cars had arrived.

My plan is, depending upon the support for this post, to place an old car post every day over the next 3 days. This one is the first and at the end of each post I will feature a special section about one car and its history.
I have taken photos of about 80 old cars at the festival and have selected only a few to place in each post.
If you have a special car that you want to see, please ask me in the comments below and I will send you a picture of the car. That is if it was at the show.

Here we have the early arrivals. From left to right a Chevrolet, a Zodiac and 3 Sunbeams.
As you can see it was a lovely clear day at the airfield festival.

Slowly the cars started arriving and this is another old Chevrolet!

A grand old Austin coming in!

Suddenly cars started coming in from all over, here is another MG like the one in the first picture!

Special Section!

An old truck and its history!

The Fargo Express manufactured in 1929!

Wow! Look at that neat old front end!

How many trucks drive around with a copper fire extinguisher attached!

Would they use the fuel inside this tank to start the truck?

And finally the sparse and basic interior of the driving cabin!

History of the Fargo 1927 Truck!

"The first Fargo trucks were built in Pilsen, Chicago by the Fargo Motor Car Company from 1913 until 1922. In 1928 Chrysler bought the business and created their own line of Fargo trucks. Shortly after its creation, Chrysler also bought the Dodge Brothers Company, adding Dodge and Graham Brothers badged trucks to its product line. From then on, Fargo trucks were almost identical to Dodge models, save for trim and name, and were sold by Chrysler-Plymouth dealers.
U.S. sales of Fargo trucks were discontinued in the 1930s, but in Canada the name Fargo was used until 1972 for marketing reasons to differentiate the trucks as Chrysler-Plymouth dealer offerings apart from the Dodge trucks sold at Dodge dealers"

And there you have it, the first post in a 3 part series and I really hope that you have enjoyed the pictures.
In tomorrows post I will feature the Jaguar that won the famous 1953 Le Mans 24 hour race. You are welcome to Google this famous historic race and you may be surprised that one of the cars in that race was sold for $20 million.
We also had a puppy pit at the festival for the small children to play with the puppies and barbeque fires were going all over the place.
I was basically there for the cars and as soon as the place began to get crowded we were out of there.
