[FWDLK] Back to the Fifties

[David Homstad <Dhomstad@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

One minor correction to John's message. The show is Friday, Saturday, and
Sunday. This is the second largest show in the country (World? Known
Universe?). Saturday is the biggest day, with all 11,000 cars. Friday is
second, with only 9000, because not everybody takes a day off from work.
Sunday has the swap meet, but the car count is down to only 4,000, dwindling
rapidly after noon, because many drivers from out of town and out of state
want to get started home. Many come long distances for this show and have to
be back to work Monday.

See ya under the Grandstand ramp, noon, Saturday.

Hi all,
   To the best of my knowledge, the show is Sat and Sunday,  June 23 and
24.  Many people start rolling in earlier in the week, from what I am
told.  There are some arches near the grandstand, that may be a good
place to meet.   I plan on wearing my Fwdlk. cap there.
   They do not seperate the makes, models or styles.    Cars are being
moved all throughout the day.  Once you move, the spot is open for the
next guy.   I saw quite a few Fwdlk. cars last year.  Only met one of
the owners, and now he is re-doing the interior of my 59 Ply. Suburban.
He also has a 59 Sub., only it is a 2 dr.   He just won a best of class,
at Mopars in the Park, in MN last weekend.  Hope to see some of you
there.    John in WI
