    I really enjoyed seeing your Model A pickup. What a sweetheart it is! Glad you could make it.

    Last I looked at the rosters there were 20 cars signed in for East, and 8 signed in for West. When I counted at around 12:45 there were just north of 40 cars (43, I think) parked on the grass.

    Thanks to everyone for attending the 2017 East/West Flathead Reliability Run. 6 cars showed up from the West side and 28 from the East with 7 of them traveling at least 55 miles to arrive at Monitor, Wash. There were quite a few traditional cars as well that were not flathead powered to add to the fun.

    I Believe the blue one is Jerry's 38.
    Ian's little truck was pretty nice too
    That little Blue A Dwollam took got plenty of attention.
    My photobucket album is here http://s173.photobucket.com/user/mr...st Flathead run at Hot Rod Cafe?sort=2&page=1 This section is just the flathead cars or cars I thought had flatheads in them. ,
    This album has the non flathead cars such as the Hemi powered coupe with 32 on the door and the cars I couldn't id as having flatheads. Not to slight anyone but If your hood is closed tight and I don't know the car it ends up here. Also it has the cars out in the cheap seats way back away on the lawn and out in the parking lot. http://s173.photobucket.com/user/mr...afe/The rides without flatheads?sort=2&page=1
    There weren't but a small handful of special interest cars on the property that didn't pass the traditional test.
    This was the most laid back low pressure event you could ever find to go to. Just park, sign up on the East or West side roster and kick back and visit, take photos, eat a burger or sit and visit.
    I even broke my own personal rule and bought a WHITE tee shirt.

    Thanks for taking and posting so many good pictures Mr48chev! I had hoped visit with you during the event.....maybe I did but did not know you were Mr48 chev. When I was viewing your pictures my PC was terribly slow opening things on this photobucket site.I hope it is just my PC and not a problem shared by all viewers.

    I am getting ready to call Bill and see if we can set up a date for the 2018 event. The folks at the Monitor Hot Rod Cafe are up for another one.
