The Smith Haven Mall Car Show in Lake Grove, NY held on May 17, 2026 was so big I had to break it up into 2 parts. I released part 1 last week and here is part 2.
The car show was held to raise funds for the Drive for Dana Foundation to benefit children in need on Long Island. Many cars showed up on a warm summer-like day.
I chose the Trio of 1969 Camaro Z28s for my cover as it is a very rare photo of pure muscle.
Enjoy the show! Mario.

Grab a paper towel and wipe the drool from my lips for that 64 Corvette Coupe. Boy do I ever miss that ride. Its nice to see Part 2 is as nice as part 1. according to my family in PA the weather has been very cooperative this week as my Son is an avid Sprint Car fan and when it rains, it bums him out to miss out on his weekend hobby. Wow a PINTO? Don't smoke around it. I saw a PINTO once at a car show with the license plate reading: KABOOM! Only those knowing of that cars reputation will get that.
I renamed my little gentleman farm here: Betty Crockerville, as Mister Sun turned up the temps here to BAKE THE DESERT.
That trio of Judges, or even the trio of Z28s would fit nicely in my garage even if I had to add on. Picture 8 of the 52 Chevy really looks nice with the added Buick Ports. Nice catch Mario.
My garage sits empty void of anything to tinker on, or detail, or just enjoy. The garage cries out for a resident, but nothing has come acros my path looking for a good solid 24X24 steel garage as it's home.
But there's always tomorrow......God bless and take care an keep them shows a'comin!!!
