Weekend Update from Charles Shotwell (Cosmic Charlie) October 5, 2013
Culpeper, VirginiaSaturday, October 5, 2013
Saturday we decided to visit the Mopar show at Chrysler of Culpeper, near Culpeper, VA. Tony and his crew put on a well run event. The owner of the dealership, Wade Schick, hosts the yearly event to showcase….what else….Mopars! This show is usually heavily attended by very nice late model types and the muscle cars of the 60’s & 70’s but what the early years may lack in numbers they make up in awesomeness! The other thing is that since Mopar absorbed Jeep and AMC years ago, you get to see some strange stable mates at Mopar events now….the silver ’73 AMX Javelin is a good example.
There were over 70 cars in attendance including the sea foam green ’40 DeSoto that was just perfect and the grey ’47 Plymouth which was a rare piece too. My favorite was the brown/tan ’41 Plymouth Pickup. I have never seen one in any condition and the workmanship done to put this truck back on the road was impeccable. The detail is so cool….take your time looking at the pictures of it. The Princess passed out our flyers for the Over the River cruise in November and the Toys For Tots in December while I captured images of all the vehicles and the event in general.
