Good Guys NASHVILLE,TN.

Having not learned anything by sweating me **** off last week at Bowling Green, decided to go for the no shade scenario at LP Field in Nashville.I got up early to beat the heat.It was only 87! Next to the field is a large s**** operation.I decided it was a good time for a "formal" potrait.

Then I went on in.This looked as though it might have had some serious history but no owner was around.

I use to always hear that Rolls Royces had their hoods locked at the factory and that only factory mechanics could open them.Maybe this is why!

Gotta love those Zephyr lines!

Along those same lines (pun intended).

A Lincolon of a different flavor

George Poteets 61 was KILLER!

They do a great gymkana.Some cars get spanked good!

I think this was at NSRA L'ville last year for sale.Nice original 59 El Camino.

Nice 54 Olds convertible.

A friend of mine built this car for the Great American Race in 1989.

UNUSUAL!

This had a nice rumble and aroma of race gas.

Nice Carson top on tis late forties Ford (Merc?).

This one later went out and ran the gymkana too.

Hot Pink Merc. Come to think of it,everything was hot!

Nice COPO 69 Camero

I use to rebuild these.This one was pretty funky.They sold pots.

Great bumper sticker!!!

THAT'S ALL FOLKS!

 

I was wanting to go to this, but I had to work. I hear that it was really hot up there though.

 

Kool pics thanks.

 

Thanks for the pics.

I wussed out after roasting at Bowling Green last weekend.

 

Me too on the Heat! Really wanted to go, but after last weekend, i decided to stay home!

 

Great pics and cool commentary -- a nice touch.
Of course, the best pic is the first -- your rod! Love it!
Thanks

 

I really like the Rolls, and the Lincoln too. I use to wholesale cars, and one of the "drivers" was a beater Rolls Royce. It was the same body style as the silver one. We also had a Caddy He****. I loved that car.

 

My roommate in college had a Cadillac Ambulance.We had to surrender the siren. For $50 though it was a real hoss.

Here are a few more PIX:
Nice RoadRunner

About as traditional as you can get :32 with fenders & Dodge(DeSoto?) bumpers,full fenders.

Oldsmobile,the other bubbletop.

Nice VW's

Nice post war Ford convertible.

 

We made it down for the show too. Wow was it hot. I saw 101 on Friday and Saturday wasn't far behind. If you were on the gr***, it was almost bearable, but the ashphalt spots were real cookers!

 

One of the best bumper stickers I have seen in a while !!!

Thanks for posting.

 

I was there and was very disappointed.
Too many damned Camaros!
There were a small amount of interesting cars and a whole lot of stuff I could care less about.
Don't think I'll go to any more Goodguys shows.

regards,
DJ

 

anyone know the guy with the green truck that crashed on I 65,friday? beautiful early 50 chevy,hard left and backed into wall,thought it be uncool to snap a pic.

 

great pics, that bumper sticker made me laugh, love it!

 

hero,we gotta meet up.we seem to go to the same type shows,but never meet up. i was there in a 59 elky,and 53 cheby p.u both white with red wheels. wheres your next show ya going to?

 

good show iam glade thay are changing the date mite not be so HOT

 

I think I'm going to go to a snowmobile rally next.This heats too much!

 

it has been a rough 2 weeks. got sick last week at bg. got pretty dang close to it this week.

 

I was going to stop by sunday on my way to chattanooga but since it was hot stayed in a hotel in meridian in the a/c to long to make it worth it lol

I did see alot of nice stuff on trailers heading the other way after noon though

 

What's the next date for the show for next year? Thanks

 

They are bumping it up almost a month.Sometime in May next year.

 

The 32 Roadster has "stock" 32 Ford bumpers, not Dodge.

 

So glad they are moving the date on this show. WAY to hot. That damn asphalt will burn your flip flops right out... Best show anywhere around the south though. Our favorite. We'll be there next year too.

OOPS!

 

That is good news, especially for those of us that want to do both the HRR and this GG event. Two extremely hot and humid weeks in a row down there is alittle much.

From the photos looks like there was alot of room to spread out.

 

Thanks for the picts...

 

According to the registration form that was in the goodie bag, the dates for Nashville next year are May 21, 22, and 23rd, 2010.

Should be much cooler, but you can probably expect some rain.

 

I saw this one DRIVING down the interstate Sunday afternoon headed toward North Carolina. Super nice car.

3rd wkend in May next year.

 

That MIGHT be Jalopy Showdown weekend. Have to get with Scary larry about that.

Next time you see a car with those hubcaps, can you "obtain" them for me???

 

Here are a few HAMB friendly cars on hand in Nashville that 2002p51 either missed or didnt like....thought I would share. I did add a few duplicates.
