I don't believe I've ever known a Hot Rodder who owns a tux.

 

All dressed up for a rod cruise

 

The twins

 

The people at the opera said the same thing.... "We never knew a hot rodder attended our Opera!"

 

Celebrating our 35th.

About as dressed up as I get. HRP

 

This is an inside shot with me and grandson, Sam, in 33 COOP back in 2006. Ain't he Joe Cool?

 

My wife's cousin is a photographer. She asked to use the Falcon as a prop for her Christmas card photo shoots.
We got our pics for free in trade.

Circa 1972, street driven!

 

Boy, I would not want to be the guy assigned with judging all these photos.
They're just great !

 

I own a tux, but I'll admit to wearing greasy jeans and car show t-shirts far more often!

 

I'm short on photos in formal attire but have one from 42 years ago.



Me and the same girl, Concours D' Elegance at the LeMay museum in Seattle 3 years ago.

Hello,

Being teenagers, hot rodders, surfers, and living in a beachy-type town, formal dress is a… what??? Again??? It was a far cry from Levis, white t shirts and Clark’s Desert or Chukka Boots. By the way, these Desert Boots with their crepe soles were the perfect driving shoe as you could feel the all of the pedals perfectly.

But, there are times when we “had” to get formal for various things, weddings of family and friends being the most popular. Here is my brother in his formal attire talking to his friends in a 56 Chevy 4 door hardtop, all going to a wedding back in 1959. I am sitting in the shotgun seat also in my formal attire. For us, there weren’t too many times throughout high school, but later on in the early 60’s, it just seemed like people were getting married like it was going out of style. I was very proud that I could tie a double Windsor knot and it was perfect. My brother could only tie the standard, simple knot and was always envious of my cool double or full Windsor knot. Brotherhood competition …

About as formal as I get!

 

This one reminds me of Robert Duval from the Godfather.

 

I just have these 2 old pictures and sorry not dressed up. Bruce.

 

And a little newer one.Bruce.

 

My 37' gasser back in the day about 65' with the gold

 

That is awesome, I looked at the pic first and was hoping the figure was blacked out for a reason like that. Haa! I love that stuff, our lives are the best drama...

 

I love pics like these. They are so funny and cool, you made my morning. Finish my coffee and back to work...You guys rock.
