So as it does every April, the Fabulous Fords Forever show returned this year to the Knotts Berry Farm parking lot and it was a hot show. Yeah the cars were hot, but that’s not what I mean. It was about 90 degree’s on the blacktop, and the heat was unrelenting. We troopered through, but it was tough. The show is only a few hours long and sadly right during mid day so we either had to stay and suffer or bail out. I’ve been to this show for years and years and I’ve never ever been where it was uncomfortable hot like this. I felt particularly bad for Phia who loves a cool Mustang and Ford but not when it’s 90 degrees out and she’s pregnant. She was amazing though, she didn’t complain and found some shelter in the shade when she could. luckily my friends Mic and Aaron also came out, so while Phia took a rest, we checked out some cars.
Sadly I didn’t get to see the Raptor because it wasn’t there. I guess it’s still just a little early for it to be making the car show rounds. I was really hoping to see it up close and personal, but I guess I can’t complain because I saw everything else I could have wanted to see. I’m pretty certain that both Mic and Aaron are both Blue Oval converts and I expect them both to have Mustangs by weeks end. Here are a couple of shots from the show, but I encourage you to click the link below and check them all out.

Hey what is that car on the bottom? What a sweet looking engine.
If I had to guess, I’d say it’s a Pantera.
You got it Paul that is a Pantera, good call. Check out the photo link and you can see many more pictures of this particular car. Detomaso Italian design, Ford Drive train and mid mounted motor,. drool!….
What about the GT and Bronco, both my personal favorites. I have a model of each on my computer too!!!! BTW dad is having a blast in NY He met up with a group of his cousins and apparently he’s going to Spain, Alaska and Bermuda!!!!! Good for him!
I was there
and almost got deaf when those racing b302 were passing me.
Nice Pics! I was at that show this year for the first time.
I have to say that it was honestly the best car show I have
ever been too and I have been to many.
Will I hope you got to sick around till about 2:30-3 ish. That’s when all the cars rev it up and drive out. That’s probably the coolest part. No trailer in the show, so every car in there has to be able to drive out as well. Really cool!
