Event Coverage Early Hunnert Car Pileup

awesome! thanks for sharing!

 

This is par for the course for a HAMB Meet & Greet Bllaaahhaaa!

 

look at that one guy's face, looks just like my nabor..

at least one a--hole in every crowd

 

Speed-on,..thanks for your great pics, altho not really that long ago, those were the good ol days;...thanks to all who contributed to this thread,...I'll always have fond memories of the Pileup..

 

@rusty1 Thanks, Sam. The Pileup was always guaranteed to be a blast. In some ways, it feels like it was longer ago, even hot rod builds seemed to have evolved/changed in some ways since then. The Pileup had it's own soul and vibe that was unique unto itself and I feel fortunate to have attended so many.

Hey, thanks also for getting me in touch with the Meltdown Drags. They hooked me up with the decals I was looking for!

I have these shirts hanging in the closet. The childs shirt was only worn twice, my son wore it once and my daughter wore it once. The 2 adult shirts have never been worn; I purchased these at the show and they've been hanging ever since.

 

I was at several with different vehicles. I have a big stack of pics I need to pull out and post. The shows were always fun.

 

@racer-x as I was going through my 2006 hot rod photo archive, I found this....from Cheaterama 2006.

 

If you look close, you see me in my MFS debut drunkenly stopping the coffin car.

Hey TJ, thanks for posting. I was there that year too. The white "A" coupe was probably one of my favorites. The more I looked at it the more convinced I was that it was a genuine unmolested survivor. Somebody who knew the car later confirmed that on another thread somewhere.

These guys were good! They weren't selling cd's that I knew about or I would have bought one. Did some online searching for "Baron Von Otto Matic" but have come up short. I think somebody said they were out of the Des Moines area?? A surf band from Iowa!!

 

Made it to the HCP in 2006, great time. Took a few pics but too lazy to post 'em.
You can link to the gallery HERE.

 

More pics, please!

 

made it to the first and last some in between always had a good time.

 

...that coupe on the first shirt Speed-on posted was built by Larry Judkins from Elgin, Illinois ...on the cheap, but sure didn't look it, very nice car, should be the HAMB mascot...

 

Great thread! Brought back some cool memories. This was the best show in Ill. in my opinion. Really miss this show.

 

They were always a blast....looked forward to it every year, sun, rain, cold, snow...
Just wish i was smart enough to get a sticker from all the years i was there. missing a few years

 

I was lucky enough to attend the 03' Hunnert Car in Sycamore IL, Ive got a few shots

 

More

 

I just can't believe that no one got a shot of the red 'flaked T roadster...

 

not from the show.....but pics for you

Thanx man. I'd love to get a ride in that thing. Maybe if I live long enough to put my nailhead T together I can have something similar. Unfortunately there's another project, 2dr A sedan, ahead of it that I'll probably never get finished.

 

Here's some photos from the 2008 HCPU.

 

And a few more.

 

Thanks for the pics guys. There's a few cars in the pics that have for sale signs on them, I only wish they were still for sale now.

 

...a few more from '08...

 

That's what I thought also. Had to go back and take a second look.

 

...these are from 2017 Jalopyfest @Morris...

 

I believe these are from the Pileup in 09' ,I hope you guy dig these pics .. these shows were a good time ,they were pretty different compared to alot of the car shows I attended while growing up in southern wisconsin.
