The Real Steel Car & Bike Show in East Berlin, Pennsylvania






Eric & I arrive at Real Steel
Car & Bike Show at 9:30 am.







Eric and I discussed the safety of going to a Car Show at this time.  We decided to arrive early and view cars along the edges of the event.





The 4th Annual Show is
at Distelfink Drive-In.




Maskless visitors watch cars and motorcycles arrive.  We put on our masks.





The owner of this 1948 2 door
Ford Sedan provided information
about the entry.







Without information on the vehicles provided by owners, I turn to the internet to identify car models and production years.


























I recommend you watch Clint Eastwood's 2008 film,  Gran Torino.  The main character, Walt Kowalski (Clint Eastwood), owns a 1972 Gran Torino Sport.

This modified 1931 2 door
Ford Coupe is getting lots
of attention.







People like to inspect the details of this modified car.

He's comparing it to the 1972 Coronet he owned in 1978.  Eric's Coronet had 4 doors, different grill, and smoother body lines.  

The crowd is building and we decide that it's time to leave.  Eric and I enjoyed our half-hour tour in one small section at Real Steel Car and Bike Show.  It offered a large variety of cars and a truck for us to admire. 

****UPDATE: Real Steel Car Show hosted 365 Cars and Trucks, 115 more than their previous Show and the organizers had to turn some vehicle owners away.  This caused a flurry of disgruntled posts that were moderated on their Facebook Page.
