Default photos from Back to the 50's car show

I only spent a couple of hours at the fairgrounds, but that didn't even put a dent in the amount of cars I saw there. I don't know how many registered, but there had to be over a thousand cars. Maybe I'm stretching that number, but it was crowded.

I have to at least post pics of an amazing paint job and body work that ranks up there in the top 5 that I've ever laid eyes on. It was a 57 Corvette, and I bet the guy spent tens of thousands of $ on the car.

Teaser pics to get the thread started:

My oldest son and I fell in love with this color. I think we're going to use this as inspiration for my next toy, whatever that is.







I also like this green color:

Cool colors - these types of cars are the few that can get away with looking like candy.

nice cars, love the classics and +1 on these being the only cars that look good in pastel colors and stuff.

but wtf with that corvette, owners a fool, buy either the old one or new one.

better yet buy the old one and put the new z06 engine in it if you gotta get crazy
