Event Coverage MN, Back To The 50's Pic Thread

http://www.hubgarage.com/mygarage/vehicles/33394 sorry, guess you've gotta have a log in at Hub to get there

some of the 100+ photos I took on Saturday. I've gotta say the primer Willys was awesome, totaaly enjoyed the video of it cruising the grounds. I never saw it move. At $99K it seems a little out of the average Jo range. There was a Willys p/u gasser that caught my attention for a while too.

 

thanks the head design thru me

 

That willys video is cool!

 

The 38' Buick had a rap sheet on the window that said the engine was a "pump" engine, which maybe means a pumper type fire engine, as Seagraves built those. Did you notice the two very dinky carbs on that immense thing? If I had to characterize most of the cars I saw, it would be "overcarburated". I liked the "Indy" trackster with the rear end made from a severely narrowed 49' Ford.... Did you see the original 40' willys sitting up near the needle? It took real "Willys-power" not to turn it into a gasser.....

I heard a rumor that he was offered over $50,000 for it.

 

I can now say" I've been around the block", what a blast. Thanks for all the contributers on this mega bad ass thread!! Ole' ~Sololobo~

 

Got a short clip going down the street.

Did anyone see the 32 model B?!?!?!?! It's one thing to see a 32 full fendered with a flathead in it, but it is completely another to see a banger in one! I fell in love.

 

I got a short series of pics as you were driving through the 1/2 empty lot down by the campers on Saturday, car sounds excellent!

 

I found a slug of really good pictures at:

Thanks to California Car Cover

 

A great example of the variety of cars at the show!

 

thanks for the pics and that wiilys video, man I wish I knew how to extract audio and put it in my alarm clock. any video of that car running flat out?

 

I'm still going through my photos to avoid posting duplicates, but here's one I haven't seen posted yet. Unfortunately I don't have a photo of the entire car.

 

Shameless plug: I painted that car

 

That Willys is super badass. Thanks for the videos!

 

hasn't been run flat out yet...just left the shop Thursday! I will give consideration to mounting a video camera for a pass down the strip...after I get comfy with the car's handling. It is a handful!

 

I stopped by the Willys on Sat morning and talked about the car and the Olds next to it. That Willys is nice. I was the guy with the pics of a 51 Pontiac gasser I am building.

 

I have a lot of pics of the show. Here are the first ones.

 

thanks for all the great shots and for posting up pics of my Willys and my Olds.

 

This car also had a Seagrave, done really well and finished hours before the show by Bob Bendtsen who makes those one off tranny adapters for "alternative" engines. He is really the man to go to!

 

Fantastic pictures Old 57.
Make me want to go back.

 

Neat pictures, I think I missed a lot of cars. Nice IH in your avatar, 1937?

 

Third year there for myself. Always a great time. A little hot, but not bad. Stayed in a tent for the three days. Havn't heard the total for this year yet, but last year there were over 11,750 for the Sat. Took alot of pictures myself, and got a lot of tips from the guys that have cars like mine. I would have liked to see the blue pickup with the engine in the box drive in though. Did take a picture of another use for webbers though.. Al
