Last Saturday I rode the motorcycle over to the Gregory School for the annual Tucson Classics Car Show<\/a>. I go every year, making sure to get there before the day heats up and the crowds descend.<\/p>\n

The Gregory School is one of Tucson’s prettiest campuses, a pleasant venue for an outdoor car show. It used to be the Saint Gregory School, a private Catholic college prep. I think that’s what it still is, which makes me wonder why the school dropped the “Saint” from its name. Maybe some day I’ll find out.<\/p>\n

Most car shows these days feature muscle cars from the 60s and 70s. The\u00a0St Gregory show (which is what I can’t help still calling it) has plenty of those, but it also attracts classics from the 1910s through the 1950s, the cars I’m most drawn to.<\/p>\n

Here are a few of my favorite photos from Saturday’s show (click the thumbnails to see the originals on Flickr). I uploaded a total of 115 car show photos to Flickr, and you can see them all in my St Gregory Car Show 2016 album<\/a>.
