  • Can-Am Nationals

    This weekend is the Can-Am Nationals in Lynden, WA. Actually a local car show, and involves about an equal number of cars from Canada and the US, so I'm not quite sure where the "Nationals" comes in [)]

    A couple of hundred cars. Nice mix. I found 7 Studebakers. Here's an "in progress" Starlight. Plenty of work done here already including "suiciding" the doors.



    Removing the front bumper from an early Starlight should be as manditory as yanking the ones off a Prowler []

    Did the fellow with the V-8 equipped Massey Harris drive it to the show?

      Believe it or not, I heard that he did [:0]. Lynden is "farm country" and tractors are not an uncommon sight on county roads. He could easily get away with it. He spent a good part of the day cruising the fairgrounds [8D]. I uncorked the headers on S2D and did a little cruising myself, but couldn't make as much noise as that tractor .

        I attribute much of my hearing loss to running tractors and dozers with straight pipes. By the time I got wise, it was too late. I have seen where there were tractor races at Midwestern fairs in the early firties with stories of some hitting 70 MPH.
