Wheels Day really lived up to its name, there were LOADS of wheels there. Some of them were even attached to cars! Here's a small selection of some, as a taster before Seth gets here with his proper photos.
There was just about every permutation possible of Model T & A (fnar!) there; High-boys, buckets, rats, So-Cal, Hi-Tech etc. These are sort of indicative of the better end of the spectrum
The Andy Saunders Panhard made a welcome appearance. I'll leave you to come up with your own jokes
Nice 'Public Information Film circa 1976' line-up
This thing is like a great painting, the closer you look the more is revealed to you. It really is a thing of beauty.
Evil looking Merc. Hard to do anything new with such an iconic car, this one had the look of a proper '50s custom that had been pulled out of storage. It was probably contrived but I don't really care, it looked incredible

My first experience of the Rebel Vanners!
I really want a Standard 8/10. Probably not this one though.
PT Cruisers were out in force. Look at the subtle custom finish on this fine example
Let's have another look
Lovely. Here's another equally great one, on the OC stand
This guy helpfully had his doors pinned open so the punters could get a close look at the incredible interior work, including a tasteful re-imagining of American Graffiti with this very same PT Cruiser taking the place of Harrison Ford's '57 Chevy. Which is good, because nobody liked that car anyway.
There were actually some nice cars there too. This pugfaced Merc was pretty incredible
Sole survivor I believe
Two of my favourite old Yank sedans
And I think I'll leave it here with this beautifully presented Thames, running a mid-mounted V8. Excellent.
