    Great movie from 1957 car show

     



    A friend sent me this link from the Jalopy Journal. Really neat stuff

    http://www.jalopyjournal.com/?p=1836

    And I did not notice a single rusty chopped down car among them.

    If this has been posted before, I apologize. Enjoy it again.

    Of course, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong!

    Also noticed the complete lack of rusted out hulks claiming to be "how it is"!!!

    What a great time capsule. I remember a lot of those cars from the little books. Thanks for sharing, Pat. That was fun.

    Yeah, you guys in California had more money than us. I saw mostly cars in primer and half done where we lived. But they were still cool.

    I'm sure that scalloped 300 SL had the purists in tears.
