hey everyone lost in the 50s car show is coming up soon and i thought it may be a good chance to meet a few fellow FTER's!! i go just about every year and plan on making it this year.. let me know if you can make it!


Sandpoint Idaho Lost in the 50s classic car show - Sandpoint Online

 

Im planning on it. Id like to show my 65 F100 4x4 but dont know how a daily driver would stack up out there. There were not to many of these trucks made. Its a long way from done so it would be just for fun. Looks like I would be up there on a Saturday.

 

i see alot of daily drivers up there as well..its called lost in the 50's but there are some tuner cars out there as well and trucks..

once i saw a mid 90s bronco there with a powerstroke in it.. it was cool!

 

That would be awesome to go but alas, i wouldn't make it to Idaho... TGM just isn't built well enough at the moment and there is too much i would have to do in a short amount of time to get it travel worthy for that. BUT since we are on the topic of G2Gs In my small town of Algona we have what is called Algona Days. It is our annual car show/fun day thing. I don't have a flier yet casue they haven't sent them out but this was pulled from the town website:

Algona Days
July 20th and 21st
There will be Car Show, Outdoor Movie, Entertainment, 3on3 Basketball Tournament sponsored by Auburn Valley YMCA, and More!

They pretty much allow anyone and everyone to join in and usually have a small fee for entry of a car. Usually about $5 i think maybe a bit more. Helps fund the other activities. I plan to put my bronco in this year and if they still have the 4X4 section i will be there. I know Algona is a bit out of the way for some but if you live near by and want to have a fun time and possibly meet other FTEers come down and check it out.

I forgot to mention it should be free to come by it just cost money to be entered in the show and go on the big blow up slides (my thing ) and buy food and stuff. When i get a flyer for it i will post it up here so people can send it in. ALSO the next day after the show they have lawn mower races so if you have a sooped up grass cutter then bring it down and have some fun.

 

Well if you havent looked at my build in projects on this 65 then I will tell you just look for an all what we used to call hotrod primer grey 65 F100 factroy 4wd. Rigth now its sporting narrow whitewall tires and chrome 68 hub caps the front caps are cut to fit the hubs. That will be my truck. Ill probably be somewhere closeby. Hope to see you up there.

 

i will deffinately be on the look out for it!

 

Bump.........

 

It has changed a bit since last post. If you see this truck I should be close by.

Hope to see everyone that can make it there. Ill try to take lots of pics for those that cant be there. Incase there are those that like pics of car shows in our area.

 

just a reminder about lost in the 50s tomorrow

 

Vic i stopped by your truck and chatted with your son for a while.. its a nice truck man sorry i didnt get to meet you

 

Yeah Micah I heard. I was out seeing all the sights when you came by. Im bummed I missed meeting you. Well there is still Good Guys and big Car cruise over in your neck of the woods later. Old Ford V8 swap meet in middle of July at the Spokane fair grounds. If nothing else I will be up at Lost in the 50s again next year. That was my first time going to that show and I wont miss it again if I can help it. One of the best Ive ever been to. Its great with all the cars lining the street. Only draw back so many people that it is hard to get a pic of the cars without someone in them. One great show thought.

I posted some pics in the 61-66 forum if anyone is interested.

 

Did any of you guys go to the good guys show last year at the Puyallup fair grounds here in washington? Me and my brother went but not so much to see all the cars, we went to visit this guy (BEWARE it is a GM truck Don't skin me alive )

That my friends is my grandfathers 1949 GMC pickup. He bought it for somewhere around 1-2k and spent over 50k having it built from the ground up. New everything, then since he is the biggest fan of Budweiser beer that i have ever seen, the truck is painted with the same red as the can color. He has the gold crown painted on the tool box in the back, and he has to crown and B logo embossed on his door panels. Then he has bottle caps off real bottles in place od buttons and switch ***** on the inside. Then he fitted the front bench out of a 90s GMC pickup in there so he had to comfort of cloth plush seats for the long drives. It is an awesome truck, and even has the original peashooter style tailpipes. Though they are fake, he has real 2.5 inch pipes hidden under the truck. It is a seriously cool truck, the reason we paid $50 or so to get in was because he is from California and drove all the way up here to do this 3 day show. WE also hadn't seen him in a few years so it was great. I forget what prize he won but i know he got a certificate for some long distance award and he also got to be in the parade on the last day, that truck has been from CA all the way over to Maine and back. He stopped at the Budweiser HQ and got pictures with the managers and stuff. I have a lot of pictures but this IS a Ford forum

 

photo thread comming soon!!!!
