Here are some pics from slides that I just converted.
Some of what you might have seen at the time. I'm thinking this was at the old International Amphitheatre. |

I can't imagine this would have been very comfortable to take on a poker run.

Chris,
Cool pictures, post more if you have them. |
Re: 1968 Chicago Rod and Custom Show
Chris,
Keep'em coming. It has been a while since I have seen the "Red Barron" . One of my favorite HotWheels. I think I see 'Belair' in the back ground of one of the pics. |
Re: 1968 Chicago Rod and Custom Show
I have 3 carousel trays full of either the '68 Rod and Custom show and the '69 Nats at Raceway Park in Indy. Just have to figure out which are worth scanning and posting.

Darren, I'm not sure that I'll do all of them. There is a good number of very original looking cars from the '30s in there. IMHO they're kinda boring. They were as old then as the Yenkos, COPOs are now. Surprisingly, alot of bikes though.
Here's a nice grocery-getter. |

This one is badly underexposed but it definitely shows one of our local dealers contributing to the local racing scene.

Thanks Rick, not sure if the club was still involved with the show at that point. Members started to go their own seperate ways around '70.
I had some technical issues here for a moment. AA/GS racer. |
