Event Coverage New years Day at lotus park

Another year gone by, our annual gathering, started at 8:00 over by 11:00.
More than eighty cars showed up, most HAMB friendly. Weather in the low 40s, cool but bearable.

...nice cars, why does this 37 look "wide"?..the front fenders look wide..

 

damnn, paint must be really cheap around there. kinda unusual to see finished paint outnumber patina. nice show, thanks for the pics.

 

Thank you for sharing and love those red pickups!

 

Here's a few for patina fans

 

Wow! What a great show. I didn't see a single car I didn't enjoy.

 

Where is Lotus Park?

I like all of the cars and trucks you have posted, but that 52-- 4 door Hudson Twin H hornet is just BAD ASS ! I would have stepped up to the owner and waved some serious cash in his face!

I am sure he isn't interested in selling it!

I love the fact that more and more people are catching onto just how cool these 4 door Hudson's really are! Pure Art Deco streamline styling, and plenty of room for a geezer to take a nap in the back seat!

 

Lotus park is approximately one mile down the American River from Coloma California, the place in 1848 where gold was discovered setting off the California Gold Rush.
This picture is Sutter's saw mill, the actual discovery site. Photo by my brother Tom Phipps.

 

Cool looking place to go - have not been HWY 49 in that area for many years - Thanks for pics
