The "Motor Mouths" Story

It was an ordinary day. Kinda overcast, but still really humid. Perfect day for a car show! I saw an ad in the local newspaper last week about "Crusin' Cuisine", a car show featuring more than 200 cars in Mount Joy, PA. Perfect, I thought. I love watching all the auto auction shows on Velocity TV and thought it was time to visit some of the cars in person. Was hoping that I would see some classic cars, hot rods, and current models as well as some that had been restored. And boy, I certainly wasn't disappointed. I arrived at 11:00 AM and the sun was just starting to make an appearance. Gonna be hot, I thought. Both sides of Main Street were lined with cars and trucks for as far as I could see. Since I parked at one end of the street, I figured I could go down one side and back the other. Didn't work that way. It ended up being so hot and humid that I made it about halfway and knew it was time to turn around or I would never make it back. In the hour and a half that I spent brousin' along Main Street, I saw some of the most remarkable cars that I had ever seen. Cars from all over the USA. What a show! Well, I must have snapped more than 500 photos and I thought everyone who enjoys automobiles and trucks would enjoy a sampling. But this is more of a quiz than anything else. I have pictured 13 grills of cars and trucks (I call them motor mouths) to see if you can identify them. Good luck, and don't look at the answers at the end until you write down your guesses. Toughest one for you may be the last one, since it has some customized chrome on it. Oh yea, a few more stories with photos will appear soon. It was another extraordinary day in the life of an ordinary guy.
