This past Sunday, I had the pleasure of attending the last day of the Raceway Park Car Show and Swap Meet, in Englishtown, NJ. It reaffirmed my fondness for the long American obsession with the automobile.

During the golden age of American automotive might, cars could be rolling behemoths of beauty – many were big and impressive; all were accessible enough for even the weekend mechanic. There clearly was an effort by automakers to impress buyers, owners, drivers, and pedestrians alike.

Anyway, here are some shots from my wanderings there. I took many, many photographs, so I may add more as the mood strikes:
