Tell me about it...I couldn’t believe it when I looked over the back wall!

Glad you all enjoyed the pics...not sure on how many people are local. I did hear a couple of guys reconnecting and asking who stayed where in town.
I went solo...very surreal, get rid of the modern cars and it’s a time warp

Overload! Very cool thanks for the photos!

 

Its a painted 1940 Oldsmobile, ( normally chrome,) er. (stainless)

 

Thank you

 

MAN!! There's a lot of hot rod potential there....

 

Thanks verde742! I kinda like it. Adds a bit o kustom...not easy to do on these PU's.

 

Thanks for posting. I totally forgot about this. Did they have a swap meet there too!

 

WOW! thanks, that sure is a mess of A's

 

Did not see a swap meet.

Thanks for sharing had to work

 

I read the coverage of this event every year, wasn't there a danger of the event ending a few years back? Don't remember the details, use of the field, weather or something, so glad it is running strong. Bob

 

Very cool pics! Thanks for the heads up and sorry I couldn't make it. Looks like a great event. Maybe I should connect with the Model A club so I know about these things. Although I did email the president of the local club years ago and never got a response from him. Oh well.

On a good note, I got the seats installed in my A in the afternoon, so if the event was next week end I'd ready, haha!

 

Great job, thanks for sharing.

 

I was there and go every year, I love this show (It's the 58th year). No swapmeet and I've heard of people DRIVING down from Fresno area in a stock A. San Diego, Downey, San Bernardino are all regular areas to drive from. I think I heard you dragging pipe coming in.........you got half of me in one of your shots .


Maybe my A will be done for next year????

 

loldtimer...hope you get that A done! yup...you heard me. It was a great event!

 

How do I get on the mailing list?

 

Not 100% if they have a mailing list. But here's their website:

Yea, coming in off that side sucks for lowered or long cars. One year that was the only side open to get in and my semi stock '47 scrapped.

 

Thanks for the site oldtimer

 

Those were some good pictures. The Orange Circle is a fun place to visit. A lot of cool antique stores.
This reminds me that the Orange Plaza car show is happening on April 14th. Any one close to Orange should go. Its a big show. They block off Chapman and Glassell in that area and fill it with some nice cars.

It's free to check out.

 

Thanks for the link @1oldtimer . A couple of years ago I was checking out this club online and sent a message to the club prez asking if they accepted hot rods or not and never got a reply. I got busy with other things while waiting and forgot about it. I think maybe I'll join the club anyway, even though I don't have an original car, maybe I will someday.

 

I don't know about the A club, but the early V8 club was ok with my non stock '47 (still fairly stock though).....they need younger members. Me being non committal and loner like.... I didn't join either clubs, I just like going to their functions and supporting that way.

Hell, this place is about as close of a "club" that I've been a part of. You know the old saying "I don’t care to belong to any club that will have me as a member".

 

Thanks for taking the time to share all the wonderful pics. Just under a year out of So.Cal and I sure do miss all this cool shit. Again thanks for sharing and letting me be back there again.

 

Neat. How long has this event be going on? Gary

 

This year was the 58th annual

 

Thanks for the heads up on the event, perfect setting, weather and a nice 20 minute drive from home! We will be there next year

Great show with great cars! Thanks for sharing your pics, makes me wish that I still had my 31 pickup...…...sigh.

 

There is just something special about a stock model A. Simple Elegance and Romance. I love driving my stock A.
