For those of you who didn’t heed my shameless plea accept my invitation to follow my visit to Bridge City on Instagram, here’s a dump of some of the interesting cars I saw during my visit. Lots of older stuff, I certainly saw some of the newer high-end cars but as expected it was more old Saabs and Dodges than it was Lamborghinis.
