[Vwdiesel] Back to the '50s Car Show

[William J Toensing]

You haven't heard from me for a month as I was back in Minn. for my grandson's HS graduation , see relatives & friends, & take in the "Back to the '50s" old car show open to hotrods, streetrods, & 1964 & older domestic & foreign cars. Almost 12,000 cars on display plus hundreds of vendors selling everything from auto books at real hefty discounts. One vendor was selling auto books at $5 per book. Also lots of tools, accessories, & parts primarily geared for street rods but many useful for regular cars too. Also lots of car models too, 1/18 & smaller. This is held at the Minn. State Fair grounds. Any one who can attend should do so. If you have a 1964 or older car, American or foreign, you should enter it  as you will have a car on the fairgrounds which makes it easier to drop off things you buy. I was just a spectator so I had to park outside the fairgrounds, which are huge. Saw several air-cooled VWs & older Mercedes, even a beautifully restored Rolls Royce from the '30s. Saw several cars from Canada as well as surrounding states. This show is sponsored by the Minnesota Street Rod Association & is usually held on the third weekend in June every year for 3 days: Friday, Saturday, & Sunday.
