FAA WATERCOLOR MARK DOES NOT APPEAR ON FINAL SALES
While attending the weekly classic car show held every Tuesday night with live music, food and of course classic cars in Oyster Bay, New York located on the north shore of Long Island. While walking through the main street I photographed this classic 1929 Mercedes Benz from an angle so I could capture the front and side of this vintage car. Note the two bumpers both very narrow the larger of the two at the bottom running from one front tire to the other and the second one not as wide built to protect the grill of the car. In addition, the beautiful flat, rectangular windshield, along with the headlights mounted to the hood not the fenders like a lot of cars from the 20's through the 40's had. Plus the running board along with the oversized and rounded front and rear fenders all connected by the running board and finally the low cut door to just be able to climb from the running board into this beautiful 1929 Mercedes Benz. Every Tuesday night, starting in May, is the Oyster Bay Cruise Night. It's free and there's classic cars, hot rods and some bikes. There's live music. The Main St is closed off and everyone comes out to see the cars and enjoy the town's pubs and restaurants. Take Rte 106 North all the way down into the town of O.B. and the cars will be on the left, sometimes they are at the Beach parking lot too. Most bikes park at the west end of the street. Starts about 5pm and runs through October.
