Wed. Night on the River

[bob w]

Yep, It's a '61 Dodge. But not a Phoenix. The odd element is, it is a full size Dart which Ronny nailed.

Sorry I didn't get any shots of the El Camino or the '57 Ford. Both were very nice.

I thought the chopped Chevy truck, above, looked good.

Room for surf boards on top and some bikini-clad sweeties 50 years younger than me inside. Dream on....

Another Wed. night on the St. Croix river. Perfect weather but it is cooling off faster in the early evening. A bad sign for us northerners.

I know there's a few Kelvinator lovers on RRR.

A comfortable custom Buick looks mighty good after bouncing around in a nasty little hot rod.

A flattie in an "almost" ratty Model A.

Channeled but not chopped with a slightly extended front. Looks good to me.

One of my Wed. lunch buddies, Jeff (Titus). The nickname of Titus is because he looks like the commedian by that name.

Some people will bring anything to a car show.

uummmm.....we're missing a Buick picture Bob.

 

[bob w]

I changed it to Buick.
BTW, the full size Dodge Dart back a page or two is a Pioneer.

Cool There it is. Can you get us some shots of the area? Looks like a great place for a cruise night.

Wow, nice Yugo! I actually had one of those a couple years ago! Ran pretty good, then one day I parked it, and went to drive it the next day and it had no gears, and it was a 4 speed. You don't see too many of those around now.

You know why they had rear window defrosters on the Yugos?

To keep your hands warm while pushing it home!!!!

so true, so true!

Thjanks for keeping the thread going with photos Bob W. Very nice.....and is that a real paddle boat in the background of the Yugo photo?

Holy Crap! It's an unidentified floating object!

I stopped in at a Corvette show in the neighborhood today. As I was walking in (no 'Vette in my stable) the smell of detailer spray almost knocked me over. I did like the gennie 6 cylinder in a '54 'Vette.

Yes, a paddlewheeler on the St. Croix in the Yugo shot. There are about 4 or 5 of them that operate out of Stillwater. The bigger ones hold a couple hundred people for dinner/cruises up and down the river.

Stillwater is one of the oldest towns in Minnesota and was a major lumber town. Huge white pine forests in the area were logged to help build America.

Flip side, for those needing details while restoring an old Corvette.

Did you know Yugo made a station wagon for a short time? They called it the Y'all Go.

Saturday! Saturday! Drag Racing!!!

Every year the Minnesota Street Rod Assn. rents Brainerd International Raceway for a weekend. All us members get to drag race for free. There's lots of pretty street rods and many muscle cars. A number of front engine dragsters and altereds are there too. Here's pics of some of the cars that are more like our style.

A T Sedan with a stretched wheelbane and a big block. Yum yum.
