Event Coverage Back to the 50's Show day 1--and day 2

hey, thats our caddy!!
your son obviously has good taste

 

Would have loved to have been there. Thanks to those who posted pics.

 

Yeah... I literally ran into him on Friday evening... then "Millner" signed my friends car on Saturday... that was way more than enough "celebrity encounters" for me for the weekend.

Another irony... a guy at Marcy's t-shirt stand (forget his name) and I were yakking about the Oscar-Meyer Weinermobile... two hours later one passed us going the opposite direction on Hwy-29 heading back home... I was laughing my ass off.

 

did anyone get a pic of that blonde cutie and her steel roadster, drivin all around all day Sat?

 

I was there for the duration. It was a great time. Perfect weather. Thanks for the photos.

 

I would bet the attendance was lower then other years...and couldn't have asked for better weather! My Father-in-law and his Brother-in-law both have 51 Chevy deluxe 2 doors in there, one red, one black, mine will be green once complete...I can't wait!!!!

We were there for Saturday and Sunday and you all posted cars I never saw...amazing isn't it?

Here are 2 pics I did not see in the thread...They amused me and wanted to share...

 

here's the MRSA Back to the 50's website if you want to check it out
it listed more than 125,000 spectators and 11.975 registered cars

some of my pic's. Was great time!

 

and more pic's!

 

drove all night to get back home...sure glad i did.severe thunderstorms and hail so far today.we would have driven right into that.
you all have some great pics.couldn't have had a better time..such a laid back place,for so many people there.
met some HUGE people from the hamb...meaning celebrities.awesome meeting all of you.
POVERTY FLATS....i felt like i was in the presence of greatness.that was way more exciting than bumping into duane,which i didn't.
bobk,bobwop,seesko,and everyone else i met at the meet and greet,are all great guys...i will be going back

 

Here's a few I took at registration on Thursday. Probably took about 600 pictures over the weekend. Will try to post more as the week goes on.

 

It was great meeting you and your wife too. The car's beautiful too. Glad you missed the storm. The hails not good even for heavy guage round sheet metal. Glad 50's was all it's cracked up to be. We love it but we are biased around here. Poverty is a great guy. 'nother Kansas boy.
Look forward to seeing you next year and around at other shows.

All these pictures and none yet of my neighbor's '33 Ford?!!!

I know, I know, 11K+ you can't post them all. Great pictures, really growing the urge to go next year. Awesome show, I'm sure I'll get the full low down when I talk to my neighbor tonight.

Thanks again for all the pictures!!

Heh I was thinking the same thing....my father-in-law and his brother-in-law were both rolling in a pair of 51 chev deluxes...one black one red and I havent seen a picture of them yet either and they are PRETTY.....cant wait to get mine in there...goal is next year

 

I think I saw a lot of cars and then I see some really cool ones I missed. Great pictures guys. I'll post some more of mine.

 

Here's a few more pics.

 

there was the one I was talkin about....____^_____ with the baby blue steelies!

 

i'll add more
identity are ? some of you were still at work and on the time clock while these pics were taken
the informal unposed pick of the "gang" fess up ?

the bunch of cars by the RED WHITE BLDNG are owned by gold chainers!!!

the group of 55"s was just breaking up .. there were a ragtop and a tudoor hardtop not far away and i did see a black for door wagon later ..

I think that's Titus's wife Stacie's car. Very nice.

 

Did JJ get sick dog?
Do you know much about the gold Coupe with the flattie and white firewall?
It does seem like it's over too fast.

 

Stacie, Titus's mate

Jen and Jeff (Titus) are married. Stacie is a good pal of theirs.

 

My bad

 

I was there! Enjoyed your pictures as well as your son's! Hard to believe? I didn't see most of those cars, or was it.... don't remember them?
