The dash plaque commemorating the day


A quick snapshot of the Coupe ready to head to Crow Canyon Park​

 

We met up with other members of our car club (Nor Cal Early Iron) to caravan together to the Picnic:

Here's some of the Ektachrome 35mm slides that my Dad shot at ANDY'S 7th Annual Hot Rod PICNIC:

Dancin' to the '70s Jazz/Rock/Funk group "Sound Barrier"​

 

Very cool. Even the hair cut are traditional 70's cuts. Oh wait, it was the seventies....

 

Thanks...those are some great shots!

 

I can't quite see the tongue in your cheek from the other side of the world. You do have your tongue in your cheek....don't you?

HEMI32. The coupe looks a little out of place in that tall crowd.

 

Far out! This photo sends a shiver up my spine......

A HEMI powered Deuce Coupe and a Charger behind it... Super Madness overload!!

Good memories in these photos, that is the only picture of my 33 phaeton I've seen in the blue paint job before I painted it red. That also looks like the blond I've been sleeping with for past few years in the middle of the dance floor dancing with Dino...............................

 

SICK!!!!

 

Thanks for the pics .

 

thanks for the ride on the way-back machine!!

 

I need to get a job that does not block photobucket.

gotta love the Andy's picnic pics. Andys in crow Canyon park was the first rod Run I ever went to.

 

I sure would like to take that Model A sedan with the big Hemi in it for a ride......cool pics.

 

I really miss that kind of rod run today. Parking in the dirt, drinking beer, having a good time, not dealing with too many rules, not too much political correctness, just beautiful cars, beautiful girls, what a fun day!

 

The smith's were there! and still driving the 33 ford to this day.

 

Thanks for sharing! I was only 7 months old when those photos were taken, but I can relate so much more with those times, then now.

 

This is really cool, I wonder what happend to most of these cars?

Bad ass man, I dig the coors shirt that dude is wearing!!! It would be cool to know how many of those rides are stashed out!!! JOKER JASON.

Thanks for sharing those pix.

HEMI32 These photos brought back back such great memories,living in Castro Valley it was so exciting to have the Hot Rods come to the park every year. Andy and his crew put on a great show every year. Free beer ,soda and hot dogs, a killer band and hundreds of Hot Rods, it was as good as it gets. I would like to add some of my photos from 1972.​
