Seems everybody has a story at the Alki Classic Car Show, happening along the waterfront boardwalk, stretching west from the Alki Bathhouse, till 4 pm today. Cars from the ’50s, ’60s, ’70s sparked a lot of memories, overheard as we walked by, and discussed with some as we all admired the displays. A few of the cars go back decades further:

That’s a 1929 1/2 Ford, owned by Bob Murray. With many cars, it’s the details – like the fins on this 1958 Dodge Custom Royal, owned by Jane Holtzclaw:

Another memorable rear view, in a photo shared by Clifton:

That one brought back memories of our best friend’s mom’s car (San Diego, mid-’60s). And Kathy Ryerson‘s 1955 T-Bird reminded us of the white, portholed ’56 once owned by an aunt (wonder where that car is now) …

If you’re at the beach at 3 pm, that’s when they’re scheduled to announce the winners – here’s what’s in store for the best of the best:

Again, the show’s scheduled to run till 4, and it’s free. Good appetite-whetter for the big West Seattle Junction Car Show (co-sponsored by WSB), coming up on September 19th (if you want to enter, don’t wait much longer – here’s our latest update).
