Event Coverage 1957 COLOR MOVIES - Classic Car Show At Greenfield Village

Incredible home movies shot in Kodachrome! Coupes, sedans, pick-ups and oh so many roadsters.

 

Thanks

 

I'm not even sure what all the different body types are called. What are the ones that kind of look like a Vicky with a convertible top?

 

A-400

 

Great video. Thanks.
Those cars were hardly more than 25 years old. But the engineering and the styling had changed so dramatically, they were already very collectible.

 

Why do I have a feeling that the big kahuna (@Ryan ) is going to chime in sooner or later.

 

Pretty cool. Thanks for posting!

 

Noticed they had "Trailer Queens" even back then, pulled with something other than Fords. And so far, I haven't seen anyone sitting on a lawn chair behind a car, they're all up and walking around .

 

A-400? Well that's a rather drab and unimaginative name, isn't it? Even when compared to models like Sports Coupe or Tudor. The A-400 would seem to have been at least a slightly upscale model.

 

Technically the A-400 is called the Convertible Sedan.

 

No gray hair, no chairs, no cell phones, no hot rods and all model A's, Time changes everything,the average hot rodder or custom fans are much older. HRP

 

Hotrodprimer, right you are about times changing. I'm a pack rat and save everything. My first year going to HERSHEY was 1968 and I have the program and there are over 200 Model A Ford's listed for the show field. Last year there were about 10 total. Where the heck did all the Model A's disappear to?

 

Wonder how many might have found their way to Europe, Asia or Australia?
