Did anyone else go? It's getting harder to find any decent hot rods there. Half of the traditional looking cars there had rack and pinion steering....jeez. Post up whatever good stuff you saw. Here's a few I took.
My dad drove his 49 Olds club coupe,Dark green,hand box and a 371 with a tri power.Its a around 500 mile trip one way and it still has a manual steering box I love Lake George,have realitives right on ***emblie point,spend many summer vacations there growing up.Now my children love it,try to get there at least every other year Tony
saw one of the traditional winners ,guys were around talking about how they did it back in the day , it had mustang front suspension , how is that traditional , they need some more in that show next year i will put mine in i was across from the lower gate got a lot of compliments and picts taken ,
I twisted the rules when i built my model a, thought about safty, handling..didn't think it would be an issue,with the suspension. the rest is old school??? I've had trouble w/steering box's,brakes in the past.. now i'm mixed media?????? is there a cl***?? LOL
Was not entered in Show, Parked on the Street. Good Cruisn. Too many Cars/Rods covered in Neon, Dolls, Stipid Lites, Sittn Wrong, plastered with bolt on garbage. Since when is more better ?
Thanks, Al...I've been looking for some new ideas for wheels on my '37....real nice!! Those pics just reinforced for me why I stopped going to Lake George!
This is really a great 3 day event . Lake George NY is transformed into car guy heaven . Its like bike week for Hot rods . All week there are old cars everywhere. The streets are lined with cars + people . Every hotel, restaurant, and gas station are filled with all diff types of cars. Everyone is driving around with open headers ,slicks etc. You even see all out drag cars driving the streets. One guy had a funny car driving around with the body up !!! Yeah there's allot of stuff we would never like to have , but its all about the cruising . Oh yeah , Burnouts are everywhere too . People even throw water in the road for added encouragement, BUT WHO NEEDS WATER !!!!!!!!!!! IF YOU NEVER WENT TO THIS EVENT YOU SHOULD MAKE THE TRIP. ITS WAY MORE THAN THE SHOW ON THE FAIRGROUNDS< ITS BIKE WEEK FOR HOT RODS
We do the Wampsville show that weekend. Not as big, just one day, but they get some damned nice cars there that I've never seen anyplace else. Was a nice channeled '32 roadster there this year. Even a real Nascar stock car on the for sale field. Cheap at that. And it never rained enough to even cover up the paper stuff out for sale, it did spit a little a couple times but that was it.
thanks milecoupe for the pict getting posted , my T bottom left of your picts , i wish there were more cars like these running around up in upstate NY , and this car isnt trailered i live over 2 hours away and had a great time wish we could have been in the cruise
I went to Lake George sat through the rain Saturday. then next week end I went ti Burlington and sat through the rain on Friday.Both shows are worth the 5 hour drives The rain didn't stop people from enjoying the shows ether.
