Crowds of people from throughout the Pacific Northwest came to be dazzled by the hundreds of pre-1965 vintage automobiles Aug. 6 and 7 as part of the eighth annual Hotrod-A-Rama classic car show.

Rumored to be the last Hotrod-A-Rama event ever, the 2010 vintage auto show came back this year after a one-year hiatus for its grand finale.

Live music by the F***ing Eagles, Girl Trouble, the Scuzztones - and many others - entertained visitors with their rocking good sounds, as rockabilly folk and pin-up vixens enticed with their vintage good looks.

Hundreds of hotrods, rat rods, vintage trucks and vans filled the lower parking lot at the Swiss Tavern and three surrounding blocks, reminding spectators of the good old days when gas mileage was irrelevant and seatbelts completely unnecessary.
