    Don't forget Jerry Anolik's Moon Rocket. That is still for sale. Big bucks but who knows. Call him (916) 761-3581 or (916) 989- 9675

    This car needs to be restored to it's glory days shape.

    cool stuff once again.

    anybody know anything about the Corvette in the center picture on page 3??

    back around 1980 there was an orange Vette built in that style with a straight axle at an apartment complex in Fremonts Irvington district. axle was chromed, and even then I knew it was an old custom redone in the current "street machine" style. I've seen lots of old custom vettes and many were close, but I'm 95% certain that is the one.

    I always wonder where are all the photos people took at these shows?
     

  5. Jay (@Jive-Bomber) ... I've really enjoyed this series ... I even plugged them in @Royalshifter's "Vintage Hot Rod Shows....picture thread" (click HERE) ... thanks for posting the '57, '58, & '59 programs.

    Glad you enjoyed!

    If I come across more I'll be sure to post them. I also have programs from the Sports Car races at Laguna Seca in the 50's and few drag programs from Vacaville and such.

    Those pics. stir memories of the little books I used to read. As I read the descriptions of the different vehicles, I am mentally building them and also wondering where they are. Some I would like to see, others I'm not so sure of!
