The Show & Shine Car Show in Yuma, Arizona

Eric and I went to the Third Annual Show and Shine in Yuma, Arizona.  The parking lots adjacent to Texas Roadhouse and Golden Corral are filled with vehicles to admire.

I love the sunny 1929 Ford

Pickup Truck.

A 1937 Chevrolet Master Deluxe

with Suicide Doors.

It's beautiful!

Some owners bring plaques with information on the car or truck they are showing.   Some don't provide information about the year, make and model of their vehicle.

Eric loves this customized

1962 Chevrolet Imapla

with a sunroof,

We admire the etched details.

I was very happy to see a 1961

Ford Falcon Station Wagon.

It's a "Woody."

Vintage Pedal Cars have

customized paint jobs.

This late 1940s Chevrolet Two Door 

Coupe has Venetian blinds in the 

rear window.

There a lot of Chevrolet Impalas at this Car Show.

Some cars sit with two wheels

off the ground...

Their owners show off the

Suspension Modifications.

I admire the sleek lines on this

1968 Dodge Skylark Convertible.

The owner of this Chevrolet

Impala Convertible chose

to show its roof being

retracted.  

Felix the Cat is holding a black

ball with the number 59 on it.

This is a 1959 Chevrolet

Fleetwood Pickup Truck.

Show and Shine has bicycles on display...

Each one is a work of art.

This bike has a spare tire.

This bike's frame is elegant.

The owners put a lot into the cars, trucks and bkes they display here.  Many of the vehicles have been customized.  And, there's a lot of metal flake paint here.  

Eric and I appreciate the mechanical craftsmanship and artistry of every vehicle at the Third Annual Show and Shine in Yuma.

A Light Lunch @ Takos & Beer in Yuma, Arizona

 Eric and I love our celebratory dinners at Chef Eddy's Julieanna's Steak and Seafood Restaurant.  

Today we are having lunch

at Takos & Beer, his other

Yuma Restaurant.

The Bar

I like the keg

display cases.

Live Your Wave

Takos & Beer Tee Shirts

There's indoor seating

& patio seating here.

The El Jimador Tequila

Skull has a gold tooth.

The walls are decorated with

old Beer Taps.

Our server, Alize, told Eric and me that some diners try to order Beers based on the Beer Tap displays, and are directed to the restaurant's QR Code for their Beer selections.

A close-up of Eric's Taco

It's delicious!

His Chicken Tortilla Soup is a

 beautifully balanced creation.

My Short Rib Taco is sooo

tender.

The Shredded Beef Taco is

delightful!

The Gourmet Tacos and Chicken Tortilla Soup were amazing!  Eric and I look forward to a return visit to explore more of Takos and Beer's creative Mexican menu.
