Re: Chicago To Bonneville
The trip is sure different today on Interstate 80! With those trucks and two lane blacktops it must have taken four days.

Re: Chicago To Bonneville
I am just old enough (42) to remember when the final stretches of Interstate getting completed here in SD. It truly was a different world back then, BI-Before Interstate!

Re: Chicago To Bonneville
Please Sir can we have more?
Another east coaster Fran Bannister also ran in 1950. Great to see a clear shot of the Downey Bros. Wha Hoppin special 1924 T. I could be wrong but I believe that those Downey bros are the same ones who built the Blue '26 Supe Job in 1932 as featured in Dain Gingerelli's Hot Rod Milestones |

Re: Chicago To Bonneville
Makes you wonder what other pics are floating around out there, only to be lost to an estate sale or just tossed out as unimportant, meaningless photos afters ones passing. Thanks for getting them to Ryan for us all to enjoy! Very nice.

Re: Chicago To Bonneville
It's hard to fathom Bonneville's photo history... What I mean by that is for many years the same cars were campaigned yet each photo brings the event to life through many visual perspectives!
Ever notice when there are several threads on one car show but the way the car photo's are taken by many different people it almost appears like they were all at a different show. (or is it only me that notices this kind of stuff?)
