An awesome Friday night here in Chestertown, NY at the Panther Mountain Inn & Pub, starting with a classic car show from 5:30-9p, then Willie Playmore Band performed their classic & southern rock jams from 8p-12:30a. With a full moon, and so much excitement at these free events, it's no wonder everyone is smiling and laughing in my videos from the night. Below are videos and playlists of the cars and band, all in one place. 

These events are free and all are welcome to attend. The classic car shows are held monthly & there are live bands playing every Friday night with no cover charge at door, so plan a night up in the southern Adirondacks for you and the whole family, enter your own muscle or classic car into the show, or just come watch & vote for your top 3 faves to win trophies for that month's show.

Some of the vehicles featured were a 50's GMC Pickup, a 60's Ford Fairlane, several 60's SS Chevelles (it seemed to be a Chevy heavy evening!), 70's Corvettes (& newer), a gorgeous El Camino, Malibu, Impala, and a 1920's Model-T just to name a few! To end the car show, all the entry vehicles do a cruise through town, a thrill to see and hear all these throbbing engines running down the road.

I rode in the lead 1978 red convertible Corvette, filming the entire ride from every angle, and embarrassing myself with my giddy giggles and joy, but I don't care ;-)  Where would you like to see me ride in the next show?

Below is the playlist of the 9 car show videos I did last night, in 1080i HD:

After the excitement of the car show, it was a relief to sit in the air-conditioned pub and watch one of my favorite local bands, Willie Playmore, performing classic & southern rock hits until the wee hours. 

Below is a playlist of the 2013 videos I've filmed of them so far, starting with the 4 from last night:

Classic Car Hop 5-3-13 at Panther Mountain Inn, Chestertown, NY

My photos of the trophy winners and video compilation of the classic car cruise from the 1st car hop of this season, with their throbbing motors revving, burnouts (blue Chevelle especially), and the classic car cruise through town heading out and coming back in, get your muscle car thrills by checking this out. :-) 

During the warmer months, Panther Mountain Inn on Route 9 in Chestertown, NY (exit 25 off I-87) hosts a monthly classic car hop where all are welcome to attend this free event and vote on their top 3 winners. The results are tallied and the 3 winners presented with trophies right before they do a cruise of all the vehicles from the show, through town.

Generally the event starts at 6p, the final votes are in by 7p, trophies are awarded about 7:15 and the cruise takes place shortly after 7:30p. All cars all welcome to compete, paying a small fee to enter a vehicle into the show. Last year we even had a few late model cars. This was the 1st car show of the season, and had only about ten cars entered, so odds are great to win in these shows. If you have a beauty of a vehicle to show off, why not come to the next one? 

Three trophies were awarded in the following order:

1st place-Red Ford Falcon (1965/67 I believe) owned by Marty

2nd place-Silver SS Chevelle owned by Palmer

3rd place-Maroon Malibu owned by the Brennans (this was their 1st time ever entering their car in a show, anywhere, and I think they were a bit shell shocked to win :)

I also photographed the vehicles (from every angle, each one) and will post a link to the album once it is uploaded.
