I went to my second Hagley Car Show on Sept. 19, 2010. Once again, a great variety of about 500 vintage cars were on display on the show field of the Hagley estate, the ancestral home of the DuPont family in the U.S. and birthplace of the DuPont chemical empire.

This gallery is the first of three that I am sharing on this annual car show in Wilmington, Delaware. It focuses on a good selection of Corvairs, the 2010 event's featured automobile, in recognition of this Chevrolet's 50th anniversary. The Corvair was produced for model years 1960 through 1969. I have also included here some other small cars from the 1960s and 1950s, to show the kind of competition the Corvair faced.

I shot the photos in this gallery with a handheld Nikon D300 and a Nikkor 18-200mm VR zoom. All are as-is straight from the camera, with no post-processing applied. They have been resized for online viewing. Note that the images and other content here are protected by copyright laws. All rights are reserved.
