Late to the Edmonds Car Show

 

9/8/24 Edmonds Car Show


After a morning that did not go to plan, I arrived at the Edmonds Classic Car Show much later than intended. Twenty minutes before the USk Seattle throwdown, I hastily sketched part of a ’61 Impala just to have something to throwdown! Afterwards, though, I had plenty of time to sketch more cars, including my favorite ’57 T-Bird convertible (one of my dream cars) – a pink one, at that!

Although not as large as the Greenwood Car Show, Edmonds has a more home-towny vibe. It was good to be back there with USk for the first time since before the pandemic.

Outside and inside Moto Pizza


When I finished sketching outside Moto Pizza, I caught up with Natalie inside as she finished her lunch and sketch. Specializing in Detroit-style pizza (get it? Moto?), the restaurant turned out to be a really fun place to sketch – lots of colorful ‘50s-themed décor, including a bench shaped like a vintage car front.

Other than some residual wildfire smoke, the afternoon was sunny with temps in the mid-70s – a welcome break from the high 80s we had been having the prior few days.




Although the store is called Moto Pizza, all the boxes say "Odd Pizza." I tried to get an explanation for this, but the response didn't make sense . . . I guess you had to be there.


I heart T-Bird convertibles! Especially a pink one!
