2012 STATE FAIR (PART 1)

The first thing we saw when we went to the
New Mexico State Fair this year are the
old cars.
This vehicle that Ma is posing in front of was
a 1958 model.  It was a vehicle that many
people drove when she was 2 years old.
This model is a 1955.  Ma was born one year later.
Ma wanted to stand in front of a car that was
in an era when she was a baby.
This was also a 1955
This car was a 1949 model.  Pa was born the
following year in 1950.
Pa said that the first car he owned was this model,
except it was
not a station wagon.
Ma thinks this was something like a 1942 model truck.
We took a photo of it because of what is on the window.
This was the first type of air conditioning made.
It is a fan that is hooked up on the window,
and the wind from the moving vehicle comes through
the fan and inside the window.

This is a closer view.

We can see why the city of Chicago burned down.
This truck is so small compared to what we see today.
Orion got a huge kick out of this old style
AirStream camper.
The owner got it from a junk yard,
and remodeled and updated it.
This is part of what it looked like inside.
It is equiped with a TV, oven, refridgerator,
microwave oven, toilet, and it has a
curved sofa opposite this view.

Cool Car Show.
