Lost in the 50's 2014 from the inside

We decided to enter the parade with our 95 Pontiac Firebird. So this year there
isn't all the pictures I usually get.. and I didn't get the one what flames come out the back.. but if you go back ot last years you can see that...  It was nice to be on the inside, walking around to see the different cars and talk to the people who own them..  Hopefully next year we will have our 47 Ford pick up in it. 





























 This is a window to the engine... which was cool...
 you can actually watch it run...










We got there at 4:30 pm.. the parade started at 6...by 5:15 pm.. the parking lot was over flowing.. with cars up on the back lawn, and a long line out on Division Street, waiting to come into the parking lot to be able to be in the parade... I bet there was 1000 cars this year... Usually they average 6 to 700 each year. I think they surpassed that.

Lost in the 50's 2012...... part 2.. car show

the car show is on Saturday... and this is about 1% of them..on this page.
The streets are lined with all kinds of cars, all colors, and types. People looking
inside and out. Here is Charlie, the helicopter the local Vets are restoring.
This is one of the oldies... a classic Plymouth
One of our locals has his car in each year. Terry Iveson, a retired teacher, who
has one of the loves of his life here.... after his wife, of course.

Some of the paint jobs were really neat.
Then there are the hood ornaments were great.

Some of them were in the rough, instead of the shiny paint jobs.
Some had some really beautiful paint jobs.
Not always easy to get a good picture, when you have so many who are looking..and
after all that is what the day is for... looking, admiring...wishing...
This is just a small section of the people... there is actually a bare spot there, which
was unusual on anyone of the streets.


Even the midget cars were there

And powerful engines were all over the place.. big and loud... didn't disapoint.




This show is always a people pleaser, and we had beautiful weather to enjoy it in.
Another year but to bed, for the many many many people who bring this wonderful
time for all of us. So many behind the scenes... THANKS AGAIN...LOST IN THE 50 CREW!!
