Folks Of Interest Little Minnesota get together October 18th (now with pics)

Several of you have been following the history and build thread my '32. The car was a hot rod in Minneapolis in the mid to late 50's and the owner was a member of the Rhythm Rods club.
Here's the link. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=848240

The cool thing is a lot of the Rhythm Rod guys still get together on a regular basis, and I invited them down to check out the car, and get some more history on the car and its members. And hell as long as there coming down why not grab a bite to eat, and catch a brewery tour. I know there are a few others interested in the car, and club history so if you want to make the trip shoot me a PM. It would be neat to have a few other hot rods.

There will be 6-9 Rhythm Rod members. I'll be posting some updates. Right now I am trying to arrange a late morning shop visit, lunch TBD, brewery tour mid-late afternoon Saturday October 18th.

If this works out we'll try a Reliability Run in the spring or Fall of next year....

 

Sounds like a blast. Found out yesterday I'll be working 11 hours that day for homecoming at the college.

 

Thats too bad....Would be neat to have you over..

 

I've got company coming that weekend but might be able to come over, sure glad I put a heater in the Model A.

I would love to go but I have to work on Saturday all day- but maybe I can come down another day and just visit? Would be great to see that deuce!

 

Sorry you cant make it, but yes if you get down in the area let me know.

 

Sat the 18th. Well meet at my shop in New Ulm at 10:30. Lunch at 12, and will reserve a brewery tour early afternoon for anyone that wants to come.

 

Eric:
Furnish me with the address of your shop.

 

Back up. Looks like decent weather 55 sunny. Hope to see some other hot rodders show up.

Sounds like fun, if I was going to be in town I would roll down.

 

DAM! I wish it was not so far as it sounds like something I would like to do...but a long ways from Nebraska. Hope you have a great turn out though.

 

That would be a long day.....
I'd have to come up with a long distance award.!

I've got you pm on the boards. I'll get back to you.

Last call...Looks like the weather will be nice.
I will post up some pictures.

 

That would be nice.

 

Interested in this next year - sorry. I sold my running car and my current project isn't ready. But, events like this are what I'd really like to do. If the turn-out this year isn't what you'd hoped for.......don't give up.

We had a great time, I heard some great stories about the club, the 32, looked at some scrapbook photos, and met some really great people today.
Thanks to everybody that showed up.

I guess only in hot rodding would a 82 year old hunk of iron pull a bunch of really nice people together.

This is Willy, he's 81, and built this car in the late 50's. He ran a lot of the same indoor show circuit as the Rhythm Rods club

Dressed flatty!



After lunch we wrapped it up with a Schells brewery tour!

More to come after I have a few more pics sent.

 

Really enjoyed the pics of the get together!! Great cars. Read the story again about your brother and the car. Very touching. Look forward to future post's. Tim

 

gotta love the old guys

 

Yes, Your only as old as you act...

 

Thanks I appreciate it.

 

Looks like a great time and it doesn't get any better than surrounding yourself a bunch of guys that have been hot rodders most of their lives. HRP

 

did you give the members of the rhythm rods copies that I gave you of the old literature from their car club?
