Great footage, but I'm particularly moved by the patriotism at the beginning.
I would bet that there wasn't a single guy there that hadn't either served in WWII, was serving in Korea, or lost a loved one in either of those conflicts.

 

That was Paradise Mesa and it certain looks like the Bean Bandits working on the twin flathead car

 

Some wild Mo-sheens there for sure. Also, the tallest trophy girl ever!

Thank you.

 

Love it! Dig the heavy hammered Sedan @ 3:33.

 

Really neat to see what was happening only 4 years since end of WW II.
Great to see patriotism was prominent and appreciated. Need more of that today.
Wonder if any of those cars are still around?

 

Thanks! That was fun.
