Just putting this out there: I think we should organize a Bernal Heights Car Show. Most car shows showcase immaculate or tricked-out rides, but the Bernal Heights Car Show would be an opportunity to celebrate the many vintage clunkers and road-warrior refugees that live on the streets around our neighborhood.
It may actually happen, someday. Until then, however, Rich Good‘s photos of old cars spotted around Bernalwood may be the next best thing. Any one of these beautiful beasts would be a trophy contender at the Bernal Heights Car Show.
Here are a few more:

I think you meant classic cars. Those ladies are lovely!
I meant craptastic. As high praise.
I agree, on the verge of Vehicular Ageism , Todd I’m shocked, does your Miata know how you feel?
My Miata knows it is crap and that it is beautiful as a result.
But enough about my clumsy language. Who wants to organize the Bernal Heights Car Show, so that rides like this can get the appreciation they deserve??
I’m in
I’ve been doing a series on FB called “Today’s Car in the Neighborhood.” There are plenty of cool cars and cool craptastic cars in Bernal to do a show. Though it’s Glen Park, the first block of Chenery up from 30th St. is amazing. I think one guy owns about 12 cars. The neighbors must love him, but it’s a gold mine over there.
Oddly enough this ties in nicely to a photography project I’ve been thinking about lately…
If people look like their pets, do people also look like their cars? I’d like to take some photos and see what people think.
Yes please!
many years ago, when I was in my 30’s, I wanted to do a photo album of musicians and their cars, complete with a list of what was inside the car (within legal bounds).
1) That Dodge Omni is totally cherry; I fully appreciate that car.
2) My car is WAY crappier than any of these. Where is the love?
I agree… your car is crappier.
That’s why I think you should be a judge at the Bernal Heights Car Show.
I wonder if I could borrow the appropriate attire from the LeMons guys….? 🙂
St Kelvin’s had a real low rider car show at Paul Revere a few years ago. Wish they’d do it again.
They do similar shows at St. Anthony’s once or twice a year.
Kevin’s that is.

I love that photo! Always have.
So many dudes-turned-dads cars in Bernal! Love them 🙂
I love the perspective of Rich’s photos. They really show the bumpers’ curves.
