Heritage Days 2006

Highlights from the 16th Annual Heritage Days Car Show in Clatskanie, Oregon on June 24, 2006. This show is sponsored by the Clatskanie Cruisers. 266 cars were on display at this show, and I managed to photograph many of them. The winning cars were listed, with photographs, in the Clatskanie Chief. This was a great help in putting together captions for these pictures. Also, a number of the cars at this show belong to members of Lower Columbia Classics, and are featured on their website, which was quite helpful as well.
