Scenes from the Woodstock Fire Department Car Show today: Hot wheels in Woodstock!

 
I had a great time at the Woodstock Fire Department's Car Show today. Lots of classic car enthusiasts came to check out the classic: Ferrari (1989), a Triumph, a Corvette, and a custom made car by Steve Heller of Fabulous Furniture on Route 28. If you know cars, you will be able to name these better than I can! I just like to look at them. A few of the owners even let the curious sit behind the wheel for photo ops. Really appreciate that! I had never sat in a Ferrari before and I was pretty amazed by how small the interior was.  The owner is a tall guy, and I wonder how he fit in there!
