Hey guys, just got back from this show on Lake Ponchatrain. Great turn out, parking was a hike from the show, and the heat index is 105 in the shade. Here's a sample of the HAMB friendly cars that came out.
Wow! I remember a couple of those cars from 20+ years ago! The little green '54 Ford sedan with the green metal flake interior used to make a hell of alot of racket tearing out after a meet! The Purple Haze Corvette used to be painted a heavy flake black. I used to see it at every show including the Rivergate (now a horrid casino!) World of Wheels. It was always towed by a hopped up '57 Nomad! I just realized I need to get out more often!
It was my first show in Louisiana, so it was all new to me. Purple Haze was oddly baddass. Both my old lady and myself loved that car. There were a lot of nice rides down there on and off topic
Well crap - I spent the day working on my shed and not at this car show. I gotta pay attention to the dates more!
Supposedly its annual...this was the 8th. It's held at the Ponchartrain Center in Kenner, LA http://saveourlake.org/car-show.php
Man I got to get out more, I didn't think there was much of a car scene in New Orleans. Looks like I was just plain wrong. Scott
Hey Scott http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=363013 Also, do a search for "Spankster". Charlie's got a build thread that's pretty cool. Man, I've been meaning to contact him.
