Spring Fling 2012 photos that show what it looks like in general

 Spring Fling, annual Mopar car show in Van Nuys, usually March or April

The new Challengers have a big car club that shows up every year and did a great color swatch job this year

 It's about the only place to see old vans

 Unusual forgotten Mopars like this Mirada

 or find 1950's and 60's cars with transplanted hemis like this Belvedere

 You won't see old Dodge trucks in many places outside a Moapr car show

 Bring cold drinks, because it's usually in the 80's and humid. There are plenty of vendors charging the usual 3 to 4 dollars a coke, 2 or 3 dollars a bottle of water.

 serious drag racer tow vehicle... with gaskets on the dash, and many years of attendance decals

 either a Demon, or a 72 Dart. Same body, different taillights. Never seen one with louvers punched in the hood though

 weird to see a 68 Coronet with a nose that more closely resembles a Road Runner

 GTX did not have hood scoops like this from the factory, they should have, these 69 -72 Mopar hood scoops look really good. I don't think it had hood pins either, they look great too!

 This was my confirmation that I was going the right way... on your first time to some place you've never been before, it's pretty nice to have a good indication
