Awesome. What a crew. Not to take any thunder from such an epic gathering, but did you take a lot more pictures? Did you see HAMB'r Larry Roller's '32 3 window coupe anywhere in there ?

Make sure you shoot as much as you can on birthday day.

 

Holy smokes....and only 3 pics!?

 

Here's a photo from @Deuce Bruce Meyer's March 22nd Instagram feed:

It must be like being invited to the All Star game. What a lineup!

 

Here's a group shot that includes HAMBers @Deuce Bruce, @Pete Eastwood, @hhrTroy, @Jive-Bomber, & @Bobby Green:

Way cool! Looks like everyone there was truly enjoying the gathering.

 

awesome, glad you could go. I have had the pleasure of meeting several of those guys over the years and all plus Pete C are gracious and down to earth.

YOU SUCK!
In the most jealous voice I can write

 

Thanks for sharing Jay!

 

Kool, My invitation must've got lost in the mail you lucky dog.

 

The invitation of a lifetime! Thanks for bring us along!

 

Happy Birthday! Thanks for posting the photos. Bob

 

Thank you for sharing this event, the royalty of hot rods are sitting in that garage, amazing group of men.

And the reason for the gathering, Happy Birthday Alex, you will never know how many lives you touched! HRP

 

Happy birthday Mr. Xydias! Thank you for all you've done for hot rodding and for your service in WWII.

 

Hot rod royalty right there. Thanks for taking us along. Snowman

 

Wow - chance of a lifetime - Craig Breedlove just turned 84

 

Followed along on Gram as the kids say. Chance of a lifetime to be in that room with all that history.

 

Top-notch hoodlums.

 

Very cool assembly, a wealth of knowledge and a goldmine of stories but... I'm presuming everyone had their vaccine since there sure doesn't look like much social distancing going on. The elderly are very susceptible to Covid...

 

it's just fantastic. Thank you for the opportunity to touch the story.

 

So cool! On top of evrything written above, I just love Bruces collection, the way the hotrods are obviously as important as the other historically significant production and race cars and bikes he has on display.

 

Thanks this made my day!

 

Very....very....cool! I would have been speechless in that room full of legends. It would have been neat if someone filmed it for future listening.

Great that you were able to attend! Alex is a legend in so many ways, and has done so much for hot rodding. This celebration was perfect!
