2012 Northeastern Street Rod Nationals

As usual, when the street rods come to town, NorthernDaddy and Toddler saddle up and roll down to the fairgrounds to investigate. They ogle the cars, chomp on french fries, and have a generally good time. Since there are so many cars on display, the approach is to focus on one theme for the day. Last year, the color of the cars was the focus. This year, NorthernToddler decided to fixate on hood ornaments. NorthernDaddy took more than 130 photos at the show, and more than 80 are of hood ornaments.
 
 Airplane - very cool.
 Sailing ship - also very cool.

 Toddler says that if Daddy wants to put this kind of ornament on his truck, he'll have to make some clothes to fit it. (Daddy doesn't think so...it looks fine to him.)

 NorthernToddler is highly distressed that he did not have this to drive around the fairgrounds.
 
Mini Cooper with a blown Hemi. Just imagine......

That is not even one-fifth of the cars on display. This event is huge!

Amazing how many cool hood ornaments were created throughout the years! Great job photographing them - chrome in the sunlight is tough to shoot!

I want to see more!
