What better day for hotrods than a hot summer day?

With the temperatures over 90, the Northwest College Alumni Association held their second annual Trapper Classic Car Show on Saturday, on the NWC Mall.

Spectators were showing up in droves to view the cars, and vote for the three awards that the association gave out — Best of Show, People Choice and Best Classic.

Dark E. Jones took the Peoples Choice Award, with his 1954 five-window 2-ton Chevy truck. It has the original six-cylinder engine and three on the tree transmission.

The Best Classic award went to Dick Eastman with his 1963 Chevrolet Impala, and the Best of Show award went to Scott and Angie Rickard, of Cody, with their 1966 Chevrolet SS Chevelle.

Other entries included Chuck and Laura Birky’s 1929 Ford Roadster, which sits on 1932 frame rails, with an Oldsmobile engine, which is topped with six Stromberg 97 carburetors, and S10 five-speed transmission. 

Gary Mitchell traveled from Worland with his 1929 Ford Model A, which houses a Chevy 350 and a 350 transmission. Mitchell said he’s had the vehicle for about 12 years and it features a drive-in tray for that extra nostalgia detail.
