Roberts, WI Show

150 cars on a hot, humid day. Forgive me, but I take pictures of the hot rods. Lots of later stuff, some of it show quality. I drove the Fiat through hilly, wooded Wisconsin countryside. That was the best part.

That's my buddy Jerry and his red '37 above. The '29 roadster with the flattie was my favorite.

Still driving the Fiat :cool: That silver Chevy gasser raised my heart rate.
That silver '37 is really clean. Not a real gasser though, a pretender.
That's my friend Jerry with the red '37.
My Fiat doesn't like to go 55. It likes 50mph or over 75.:D
 
Finally some shots from Gruber's. A beautiful night. Wouldn't mind it is was rained out. We sure need it.
It was the debut of Jack's black '40 coupe. Decades in the making. Very straight.[cl

Dave was whining I didn't show his Pontiac in the Roberts show post. So here is the Great Pumpkin.:D

Another Dave, seen in the first pic is now living in a care facility. First time out. He was an excellent customizer/painter. Now very confused. I just hate it.

That's low cost Summit orange shot in a friend's garage. Came out really good.

For the first time ever, two young bucks were just dining in the driveway on bird seed and cracked corn. I get lots of does but never until now, see bucks feeding. The lead deer moved when I said "cheese".

Lots of guys but only one new car. Threw in a couple others for the color. Some kind of Mopar, Dell's Willys for 50 years and a fat Ford.

Now for a trip down Memory Lane. Pictured is the Triad Willys my friend Al Tschida raced. He won the Winter Nationals in about 1966 in D/Gas. The car ended up in my young friend Jeff's hands a few days ago. A piece of drag racing history, it brings back memories. Jeff will be a good caretaker.

Here's a few from Greg's house party.

The Edsel has a 292 Y block stroker. On the AD truck, I know nothing. The '37 is owned by a guy older than me! He's had it forever.
