There is an older guy I know that was involved in hot rodding back in the 40's and 50's. In 1951 him and some friends took a road trip out west from Michigan to Bonneville. He has pictures around somewhere and every time I see him I ask him about them, but so far he hasn't found them. A few weeks ago though, he gave my dad this. Which is the souvenir program from the meet. I scanned it, and now you all can enjoy it too.
Thank you ...I know how long it can take to scan so many pages...very nice of you to share!! All the best-W.S.
slv63 thanks. Those are bitchen. I haunt yard sales and mostly estate sales. Gold mine some of them. I bought a set of S/W guages with senders for 5.00. the dust said it all. Also were Hop-up and several other 5X8 mags from the mid 50s. the NICE lady only wanted 10.00 for the lot. I slapped leather faster than Wyatt Earp. its soo cool to real that Larry has the astounding amount of 2500.00 into his T bucket and Tom has spent 300.00 on this tuck-n-roll interior in his 32 ford. the old stuff is the template.
Thanks very much for the scans........I, too, know how long it takes to scan that many pages.......appreciate your posting it...... CB
Of all of the Bonneville programs, THIS is the one I desperatly want. What not with the Kenz and Leslie Streamliner on the cover. Lucky you!
very cool , thats some great reading! thanks , keep on him for some pics! but dont piss him off you might never get them..
Thanks! 1951 is a magic year for me. My roadster is filled with 1951 L.A. newspapers. I have the Indy 500 program and now the Bonneville program. Thanks again!
Speaking of Bonneville programs......Bobbie, are you done with mine yet? If so let me know? Hi to all at the Old Crow Speed Shop! Crow.
