Every Weds night is "Classic Night" at a local A&W. So I took the Nighthawk to it tonight to check it out. Lots of nice cars and lots of bikes...mainly cruisers. Here are some pics of the ones that stood out to me. I'm not a car guy at all...so if anyone wants to take a stab as to make/model/year, feel free to comment. Oh except for this one...I know this one...this is Doc Hudson   Pontiac or Plymouth something or other  57 Chev??   My son liked this "cool truck"   This one was painted flat black. Not sure if I liked that or not...  This one looked like it would kick some a$$  Ford Mustang Fast Back?? It was in pristine condition  A couple of bikes now... My son and daughter sitting in the side car of a Russian bike - Ural. It had a drive shaft that ran from its back tire, over to the tire on the side car...two wheel drive!  A beautiful RZ350. It sounded great too...nice 2 stroke smell  Seeing lots of these around lately...CanAm Spyder  Two Royal Enfields side by each  Minicepter 500  Shot of the p-lot...my Nighthawk is in there somewhere   |

Very cool gammer, the flat black is really big among the hot rod / rat rod scene...B#$%* to keep clean though...

It looked ok from far away, but when I got up close I could easily see marks in the paint where someone rubbed it or brushed it lightly. My experience with flat black is to clean it with Armor All for best results. |

Great pics! Love those "Classic Night's". We have a local hamburger joint that has a Classic Night every third wed of the month. One of these days I get my 68 Mustang down there.

Pontiac or Plymouth something or other Plymouth Barracuda 67-69. I could probably tell from the rear. I love A body Mopars. I could never afford anything better than Valiants or Darts though. My dad used to get those late 60's cudas for my mom every year as part of his company car allotment. |
