Here's one for us older guys, you younger don't need to watch, you probably would'nt recognize anything.


This is a movie of a 1957 car show at Excelsior High School

I remember those days, I was 8 years old and I was working on cars removing parts on weekends and during summer vacations at my Dad's junk yard. I loved it was a lot of fun My brother was 16 and I remember him playing all that music all the time . I was at a car show last year and I had to drive 57 up to receive my award, I was wondering why we had to do this, now I know. No hot Babes to kiss though.

That was great Rustybang That brought me way back to what got me into cars in the first place. I was young at that period of time but next door was were the Piston pounders use to meet. they had a big yard and all the cars would pile into the yard. Looked just like that show. With the cars the girls and the music And I have not stopped yet Thanks, Ken

Great video. Thanks for sharing it. How about the Gullwing with the custom paint job? You wouldn't see that today on a half-million dollar car.
