Back to the 50's pics - Days 1, 2 & 3

Here's some teasers from friday...

If you have any pics feel free to post them up

 

some more including a shot of some new chrome for the '58

 

thanks for sharing!

 

awesome thank your sir, may i have sum mor?

 

Thanks for the pics! One of my favorite shows and I wish I could go...
I wonder if the pickup in the first picks has been there before, it looks familiar.

 

What are those tail lights?

 

i believe they are `46 ford front parking lights

when the guy took that picture he had to almost be standing on my running board

 

Thanks for the pics, I was there in 1996 haven't made it back yet keep saying to the wife we need to go back.

 

Thanks for sharing the pics. I guess since this is supposed to be a "drama" thread, I'll chime in and say I don't like painted bumpers...

 

Thanks for the pictures! The Minnesota State Fairgrounds is a great place for a car show.

 

I'm thinking this was the place to go this weekend, judging by all the rain thats hitting Bowling Green, KY where the NHRA Hot Rod Reunion is taking place right now!

 

Thanks for the pics! I always used to go to it in Marshall MI but never made it to Minn. need to some time. I wish they wouldn't have changed the one in Marshall.

 

Thanks for taking the time to post the pictures. I have been patiently waiting for them to show up here.

I think 36 3 window has it right- they look like the parking lights on my 46 ford. Thanks for the pictures.

 

Love that roadster!

 

I have tons of pictures. I'll try to get some more up later. The Willys was a little too street roddish for my taste but it was the only one I found at the show so I had to take a picture of it. Needless to say it is in much better shape than mine

 

Thanks for the pics!

 

That red sedan is great. Is that a hambers car?

 

Looking good!

 

It's been cool and rainy all day today, and a storm went through the metro last night that had the threat of hail. Not ideal, and the attendance reflects that. Definitely fewer cars than years past.

 

11,700 cars is fewer??

 

Got a little wet today but still managed to enjoy the show...

 

Great to meet you man! We were commenting on how the cars were in every nook and cranny of the Fairgrounds!

 

I forgot the camera when we wandered the swap so no car photos today. When we got back to our cars my brother in law said that a photographer wanted to shoot my truck so I talked to the guy and it seemed legit. Here's some pics from the shoot...

 

one more...

 

God... BLESS... America.

 

Cluttered backdrop for a photo shoot unless he intends to photoshop that out? Usually they find an out of the way corner or building when shooting at fairgrounds.

 

Does it really matter?
