    The Vintage Chevrolet Club Of America Shows Off Rain-Soaked Detroit Iron In Seattle

    When commenter of the super-stars, Startlton_Heston, offered up some photos from the Lee Johnson Chevrolet 75th Anniversary Car Show we assumed there would be a dozen or so photos to throw into a gallery. Little did we know, although we probably should have assumed, Mr. Heston was insane enough (in the best way) to send us more than one hundred lovingly taken photos detailing 69 years of Chevy metal. Being Seattle, the VCCA meet was a little rainy. A report from the Omega Man as well as some more photos below the jump.

    Report From Starlton below the jump:

    Imagine my excitement, driving to Lee Johnson Chevrolet's 75th Anniversary Car Show, coming around the bend and laying eyes upon a confusing yet rousing and mystical sight. They lined the cars up on the front row by the street?? That's more then I expected! 30's to late 60's Chevys braving the elements (rain in Seattle? NEVER!) and showing off their wax jobs. Not by the usual standard of bling and shine, but here it's a measure of your water beads! There were about 32 cars in all, members of the three North Western chapters of the VCCA (Vintage Chevrolet Club of America).

    Most were unhappy about the rain but as a conversation went:
    Me: "I'm amazed and excited that the cars are still out! In SoCal, it clouds up and everyone scatters like cockroaches!!"
    VCCA member: "Well if we did that, there wouldn't be any cars shows!"

    Thanks for the bravery!

    Car notes:
    Nova 400 Conv. sadly no 400 in it... BOO!! flat 6 with 180HP I believe
    75 Caprice had a real 400 with a Malaise 150HP.... HOW was that all the power it had? Sad, but the car looked so cruisable!
    53 Vette is number 125 of only 300 made

    Thanks for the shots, they'll have to rip that camera out of your cold dead hands!
