Event Coverage 2022 Back to the Fifties

As many of you know, Back to the Fifties is a huge show - probably the biggest in the midwest US limited to '64 and older. Always a fun time, and this year didn't disappoint. Full gallery here, with a selection of HAMB-friendly images below (I'll be a making multiple posts just to break it up a bit). Enjoy!

 

The paint on this '58 just knocked me out!

 

WOW!!!! Just plain WOW!!! Thanks for the pics and the link. Looks like you had good weather, too!

 

You're welcome of course! Weather was great - Friday and Saturday were outstanding int he mid-80's with low humidity, and even today as we got into a heat advisory was sunny and gorgeous.

 

Thanks ! Great Pics, Coverage.

 

Next batch

 

Thanks for posting. This show is on my bucket list. Unfortunately, it's a LONG way to MN from NC. One of these days........

 

Cool - Thanks

 

It was an incredible weekend. I haven't been back since 2018 and it was worth the extra fuel cost to make the trip this year.

Here are a couple of bad photos I snapped.

 

Thanks for posting! We will make it back one day. How was the swap?

 

Thanks for the pics & coverage!

 

This Chevy was bitchin'!

Here's one I shot of it:

 

Didn't do much at the swap to be honest - the heat and humidity were coming up by then. My overall impression is that ebay and online sites are probably cutting into the overall amount of stuff at swap meets - and it's still better to actually see the stuff in person.

 

Next batch of stuff (and yes, this top one is the front end of a Pontiac grafted onto the front end of a Chevy and it took us several minutes of debates about which end was actually the "front")

 

Excellent photos and subject matter,keep ‘em coming!

 

We always see more vintage stuff at this swap than our local swaps. I can't remember when I've seen both a 33 and a 34 grille at the same swap meet, but they were here. We were sorry we didn't have a pickup truck to haul stuff, so we had to leave a few items we would have liked to bought. I did find four nice 40-48 front hubs/drums for $50, an good 40 R&P for $35, and a '39 shifter top housing for $5!

 

Thanks for sharing.

 

'Nother batch!

 

Thanks, Bud!

 

The Swap has turned into a yard sale, mostly toys ect. The Weather Mens forcas killed Sunday, looked like a NSRA Sunday!
