2013 Back to the 50's

bob w · Jun 21, 2015

I just got home from the 2015 edition of Back to the 50's There were 11,955 cars registered. Here's some I built. I drove my Anglia to the registration hotel and Saturday because of threatening weather.

Uh... so where is the 2015 thread with the 12,000 pics Bob?

Great to see your cars again.

Way to go Dr. C. Last year I posted this one and no one even attempted a guess. So this year I added some (too many) clues.

Wanderer or DKW? (one of the cars that evolved into AUDI)

Sorry, I was called away for dinner. Here we have the International that was built about 6 years ago.

Way back in the 70's I put this '31A Slant Window Town Sedan together. It has only been sold twice since then. It remains almost exactly as it was built all those years ago.

With that many cars on the grounds it's overwhelming and as a result I only took a few pics. I'll load 'em up and share them with y'all.

This is an original '28 Erskine owned for 40 years by a fellow named...Erskine. MII front, Jag rear. I threw myself across the hood and pleaded, "Don't paint it!"

"Will the owner of the big block Mopar wedge with factory cross rams and twin turbos please return to your car. The crowd is drooling on it".

Oh well, he had to put the engine in something.

Most of the rodents were clustered together. This car, along with some of the next rat rods are all long haul rides, having trekked to Las Vegas one year and Louisianna another year.

The Rat Rod Magazine Tour Rat under construction. Note the bolt together frame rails

Kinda make ya feel inadequate, doesn't it?

bob w · Jun 21, 2015

This was my favorite car. There was so many nice subtle construction details that made this roadster a winner.

A stock Bantam in the flesh.

Saturday night the Trashmen, of Surfing Bird fame played. As a side note, 52 years ago I became engaged to my wife on a frigid winter's night, in the back seat of my friend's '57 Chevy driving through the counrtyside heading to Woodley's Country Dam, to see the Trashmen. They're still around, and we're still around.

Hey Flipper, close, but no Panetella.

I saw the Trashmen at the Ray Farner car show in KC about '64. Still around, just amazing.

not too late to learn how to do the Bird
