Some nice vehicles can probably be found at ...

Back to the 50s event at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds in St. Paul on June 17, 18,19. Over 11,000 rods and customs dating up through 1964 have already been registered. If you go, wear a bib so you don't drool on these beauties.



I used to work in the area and although I never did go into the fairgrounds, I would park at a restaurant and watch the parade of cars on Snelling Ave. Many of the owners are my age, and that's old!



Some years ago I spotted a T-Bucket roadster with a 671 GMC blower and watched when the owner started that puppy up - nasty!



I'd love to own one of those rods or customs but for now I'll just keep plugging away with my "modern" 84 Capri RS 5.0. :-( Dick in MN


I always wanted one of those, but with a modern V8 and overdrive trans.

At the time, 10 years ago or so, that T-bucket had a large block V8 that was either a Chevy or Ford under that 671 blower. The sound of a large V8 with a GMC blower, although "dated" is still music to my ears.
