It may seem obvious but if you aren't enamored by a particular style of car don't go and look at it, stay with what you like. The fairgrounds strike me as being large enough to support many different build styles and by extension different interests. I have always found that the more I am exposed to fresh ideas the more I enjoy any and everything.
Just my opinion.
I'm really jazzed you want to use my picture. In my last email I miss spelled AMBR, so if you use that text, please correct me, thanks.
I found the other pic, and while it may not be too dark, at least you can see it was a driver. When we first came up to it I didn't know what it truly was, but with the paint shiny, but crazed, I knew it was old. And the way it was designed I knew it had to be an old show car. The owner had a photo book showing it's history, but I didn't check it out. I couldn't afford the $12,000.oo asking price so I didn't want to get excited about another one that got away.
The other pic is my Dads roadster. could you tell me what year it might be? What caught my eye was the Deuce grill shell. This pic is taken in '39 - '40 while he was a senior in high school in Ketchikan, Ak. His big brother had gone to Seattle for school, bought the car there as you see it, and brought it home to Ak. He gave it to Dad to drive to school, (only one other student had a car) When I asked Dad about the grille, and if there might have been any other Hot Rodded parts, he said "well it had 2 spare tire wells, ( no, dad never was much of a Rodder) but he did remember "Winfield" cast into the intake or head. 30 some years later we took a trip to Ketchikan for Dad's reunion and there it was in a the 4th of July parade, all restored, and still wearing the deuce grille
One last thing, I'm kicking myself for leaving speed week early before your gang showed up last year. I would have loved to have met Darrel Mayabb. That C. Cruz is one of my favorite cartoonists. Are you making plans to be there this year? How about sending Rizz and Candy to show us how road worthy her kit roadster is. I've followed Rizz's work for years. You've got a real one there.
