    I bet some of those business's would like to see a show there again now with the slow economy, along with the city taking what they can get for a gathering...I guess they need the revenue due to there 50 dollar parking tickets:eek: Sounds like they got greedy and strict with a booming economy back then! Would like to see some thing like this return here!
     
  6. The only one I got to attend was the last one at the Huntington Beach location. When I was leaving, I was cruising that main street leaving the beach next to a wild center door Model T. I'd never seen one before. I later got to meet it's owner Miguel (magoozi). I was in a yellow Gasser 41 Willys, and told Miguel his rear wheel was wobbling a bit. Do you remember that Miguel?

  12. Well the Merc is heavy to me the Chevy.....kind of but it is an old custom. The Merc is the Hollenback Merc and the Chevy is the Gator,im pretty sure.
