PeacemakerJack 10,719 #351 Posted August 21, 2019 What a cool ride! Could you imagine pulling into a vintage tractor show with that pulling a trailer full of ‘s? How awesome would that be?

Pullstart 62,193 #357 Posted August 22, 2019 Good day for dentist appointments, I’d say! The 28th Street Metro Cruise is this weekend and this is the pre-party tonight! The lot is just starting to fill up and I know we’ll miss more than half of the show.... but it was still fun! 1 1 3 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JCM 9,062 #359 Posted August 22, 2019 Thanks for the pics Kevin, a real nice mix, that silver 69 Chevelle SS looked like it was ready for the Dragway. It's nice to see Cragar SS rims are still popular among the Gearheads in today's world. Thanks again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With the extremely low production numbers in '53 and low production numbers in '55, I'm going to guess that it was a '54.

My father in law just picked up a W head last week, we still have to ID which one it is... but I talked to that guy quite a bit and now know what to look for! I didn’t get the Vette close up, the last few pics were from the bed of my truck as we left for other runnings around 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PeacemakerJack 10,719 #365 Posted September 1, 2019 Took the family to the Pardeeville Car Show. It was beautiful weather at about 65 degrees and the turnout was north of 1,000 vehicles! I count it a real privilege to enjoy this hobby with both my parents, my wife, and my kids. We restored my GTO in 2000 and dad’s in 2005 and it has been fun to do this over the last 15 years of so. Our third born has the nickname “Judge” and so we always try to get one picture of him next to a GTO Judge. This is one of those ironic pictures to me. The vehicle on the right was iconic the day it rolled off the assembly line and was sure to become a classic. The vehicle on the left was solely utilitarian but was a hard working durable multipurpose machine. It has over the years earned respect and today is a classic as well. Who would’ve ever thought that they would be show vehicles alongside one another? NOW, the Trucks: Lots of rat rod material! Lots of custom material! Cool scouts (I want one and could see Eric and Trina busting through the backwoods of Maine in one of these!) Factory customs Multiple generations of trucks Fleetsides Stepsides Big trucks and little ones (for our buddies on the other side of the pond—Anyone recognize this?) It was a great show and better yet a wonderful family day. These guys were so worn out that they slept the whole hour and a half home (yes, they have their seatbelts on!). Thank God for the freedom and privilege to enjoy a day like this! 2 5 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

19richie66 17,424 #369 Posted September 7, 2019 (edited) Lil bit of red paint and a matching trailer and this would be the perfect horse hauling machine! Edited September 7, 2019 by 19richie66 1 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 62,193 #373 Posted September 8, 2019 @WVHillbilly520H I haven’t yet watched the videos, but I’m a huge fan of cutouts! I’ll watch them in a little while, then probably comment on the fact that I love cutouts! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
