Vehicle Spotting: MONTANA BRED?

Last night I had to go to Coronado, and driving through I saw a highly unusual sight:

We drove through Coronado again today and spotted an even larger clutch of classics with several characteristics in common: They were all first class, cherry condition, and they were all from Montana (?).

Were they trailered in?

UPDATE: Yes, they were, for the "Cars on Main Street" annual concours.

'58 Chey Impala, '57 Ford Ranchero, late 40's Jeepster

Mid-Fifties Studebaker Gran Turismo? Hawk

~1965 Corvette Sting Ray

Roughly 1967 Corvair Corsa Turbo Convertible

Wow!

Anyway, we had the camera out, we were cruising in the Lotus, so here's what else we saw today...

A military (looking?) VW Transporter 4-dr pickup

A bit sorry looking but certainly covered in bright metalflake paint 1965 Chevy Impala 4-door hardtop

Matching diamond pleat interior

Seventies El Camino in good nick, and for sale.

Whoops, this bed has seen some hard objects - it's a working El Camino.

Followed by a Purple Pickup with precious one-spoke wheels

Chevy Impala SS also with trick wheels

and a newly taped in windscreen.

Finally, we noticed a striking odometer reading as we left for home...

The End of a 1971 Fiat 124 a RARE survivor

There is an elco in almost every car spotting post you put up.

Corvette is likewise my pick of the crop! Great pictorial, cheers, Filip

Although I do not understand the specifics, there is apparently a tax advantage to registering valuable/collector cars in Montana.

I've seen a Rolls in my building and a LaFerrari at a show whose owners share an affinity for "Big Sky." BTW love your car spotting posts!

Here's the info:
