Nice pics, thanks for posting.

I have not been involved with street rods in a number of years, so forgive my ignorance on this. But, when did they start allowing cars newer than 1948 at the Street Rod Nationals?

probably when the muscle car surge came in to place, it was raised to 1962 quite a few years ago and then it was "game on," after that, I'm sure profitability driven.

I only live about 40 miles from there (Lou. fairgrounds), usually go every year, but did not make it this time. More kool cars than a person can see in a week, even if you rented a golf cart to cover more territory in.

Why did you have to "...sneak down..."? Isn't it open to the public, probably for a fee (or do you have to be a NSRA member)?

I've been a member of NSRA since 80's, although I didn't go this year. They raised the date to 1984 a few years ago. The nationals are open to the public.

Just another car show if you ask me, I quit the NSRA when they opened it to 84 , Love all, but don't drive to a Street Rod Nationals to park by a Granada! Thanks for sharing pictures, Some nice looking Studebakers!

I suspect his comment had to do with getting out of the house rather than getting in the show.

Actually I was working on a Construction site, my Project Engineer had the reins for "small burst," We have been working 7 days a week, 14 hours a day to complete this project in a 6 month time frame--- I'm definitely getting too old for this, 1 more year until retirement!
