I’m not that interested in cars, but the Middletown Cruise on Main was a great photo-op. The name of the event is a mis-nomer as the cars don’t cruise anywhere except their trip to get there. Main Street is closed to vehicle traffic for about a half mile then the classic cars fill it up–four wide much of the way and in most of the on street parking spots.

Spectators are then free to walk around the cars, oohing and ahhing, the air filled with “I always wanted one of those!” and “I remember when…”.

Full view shots were not possible on most of the cars so I focused on the wonderful car names and logos of days gone by. There was a wide range of colors with the aquamarines and yellows catching my eye and the “MercOMatic” takes my award for best name.
