Eye candy

Since so many of you are snowed in here is something to look at. Starts out with a really nice 51 F1. Lots of great looking cars and trucks.
At 1:47 check out the Isetta - my dad had one of these for a while when I was in 4th grade. It is tiny! My younger brother and I rode sitting out the back window (ours had a convertible back window and a sunroof) Dad drove and my older brother sat shotgun. A BMW 300cc one cylinder motor! Must have gotten great mileage

That looks like it would be a really great show! Definitely somewhere I would like to take my 51 some day

I laughed at the guy at the 2 minute mark in the pink & white metropolitan wearing a bag over his head.

They have an interesting cutoff of 1964 - keeps all the Mustangs, Camaros, and GTOs out of the mix. Looks like a great event.

Nice cure for cabin fever. 3rd day of snow here. Very unusual.

They should also exclude 55-57 Chevy cars. They're dime a dozen.

I live 3 1/2 hours from the MN State Fairgrounds and have never been to the back to the 50's show. I think I need to put it on my "to do list"!
