    Here's the Back to the 50's video link. We drove 3000 miles in 7 days, and it was well worth it. I would dare say this was one of the best show's I've been to. Just under 12,000 cars, no awards, great weather, and the fairgrounds are unbelievable. Every car imaginable was there, even a street rodded John Deer sh-t spreader. Great show, hope you enjoy the video. The video was so long I really didn't bother editing it.

    One thing that really stands out is how nice the people of Minnesota are, as well as everyone else at the show, (though you guys talk funny, Oh, I'm from Maine, they might think I talk funny, LOL ) The fairgrounds are the best I've seen, plenty of car vendors, and all the food vendors you want. Two of our wives spent the day at the Mall of America, you know how to make a woman happy. We were amazed at the amount of 56/57 Olds there were, and we've never seen so many 57 Fords in one place. Out here the're rarer than hens teeth. This was the biggest cross section of cars that we've seen. There was something for everyone, from rat rods to customs. I would recommend that anyone who likes cars, put's Back to the 50's on their bucket list. Like I said before, we drove our street rods 3000 miles, and it was worth every mile. I know it looks like I'm sucking up to you guys, but the truth is the truth, I've been to a lot of shows, and this is the best show I've been to.

    Thank you all for the great comments. I enjoy making them. I've got quite a few videos on Youtube. If you do a search on Youtube for 37spiker, you'll see them all. I did quite a few when my wife and I where in Florida for the winter. Again, thanks for the nice comments.

    I came across this on Youtube. I knew it would be posted here on the HAMB. Good 1.5 hour video. Spiker has several good car videos posted on YT.
