Having been a member of NSRA years ago and attending my first nationals back in 1986 I was quite disturbed at the potential damage to be done with the year extension the association proposed last year. Really...there are places for cars of those years and actually extending it beyond '72 seemed to make no sense whatdoever. I mean....what significant (besides SD455s) is there after '72...?
So my boys and I have made the short jaunt to Louisville for most of the past decade to take the event in and have a honest-to-goodness 'guy day'. I was apprehensive, but decided to give the event a shot and shrugged off the bad attitude before we gto to town. Glad I did....
We took a lot of photos, but I'm only dropping a third or so here. I don't often take pictures of cars I've seen in previous years so if you don't see something striking you remember, I probably got it a previous year or we didn't have time to see it. I bet we only saw around 1/5th of the show. The car count was over 10,000. At the end of the day we were delighted with the additions and completely exhausted. I take issue with the cars using disproportionate wheels, but hopefully there'll be a force of folks next year policiing that at the gate, beating the owners to a pulp, and removing the offensive over 20" wheels fitted to wheelwells meant for 14s.
Torino ragtop
71 Wagon I wouldn't mind having in a different color
Awesome Art.....
This is the real deal. Rubber in the fenderwell, a diaper, and trans blanket. I didn't ask what it ran.
Beep.
Just about perfect....
almost as good. Blown.....sounded nice crusing around.
Possibly the best, subtle wagon I have ever seen. Looked comfy.
Rowdy 55.
Other than the Parkwood wagon, this was the nicest 59-61 Chevy I saw.
Slick Caddy
Stude clean-ness.
