    Here are some pictures I took at a car show in Long Beach, Ca in 1970. If this works I will post a few more.

    Looks like my link don't work...I tried to delete this message and that don't work either. Sorry

    If you want to see them they are on my website. Maybe someone will be able to post them. One of the more noteable things was the '56 Nomad for sale valued at $2900. It would be interesting to know what happened to a lot of these cars and how they exist today.

    I've seen people use polyester at shows before but that looks like some kind of dry ice effect. Pretty cool!

    That is a cool look into our past. I like the double stripe white walls on a few of those cars.

    First, thanks for helping get the pictures up. I'm sorry to say that is all I have, that was back in the day when it cost to get a photo printed.
    My favorite back then, and still is, is Danny Gomez's tangerine '55 hardtop. It would be nice to know what happened to it.
