Almost a shame to drive them...almost.
That green custom 300 is really nice looking! Thanks for sharing.
I just brought home a white 300 tudor that had been in a barn for several years Sunday. Of course it has the usual '57 rust spots, no engine or trans, but buildable. I already put some skinny torque thrusts up front and some black steelies with 11.5x28x15 ET street slicks on it. Looks cool for a car that doesn't run yet. It took $35 in quarters at the local car wash to rinse all the west texas dirt out of it!
You've seen more '57's in the past few weeks than I've seen in the past few years! Gotta keep an eye out for Kansas shows. Burgdorf's (sp?) '57 in one of your groups is still my favorite..has been for years.

Love the flames on the top one.
Kind'a partial to the green one myself.Looked like a nice setting for a show.
This is a great show that is held in a city park in downtown Salina. I think there are around 1500 cars shown here and there are always some of the old customizers that attend, such as Gene winfield, George Barris, Bill Hines, and Darryl Starbird. There is the Thurs nite cruise, Friday nite drags at the old airport, and the show on Sat & Sun. Cars show up from all over the US. I was really excited to See the number of 57's there this year. It was an extremely hot this year (110) but there is a lot of shade in the park. With the show I attended at De Monies and this one at Salina I nearly overdosed on old Fords, but what a way to go.

Wow. When I was first reading oaqnd looking at your info re Salina, I thought it was Salinas, CA. I was almost convinced of this when I read the names of the famous customizers in attendance. I finally did catch on that this was actually in Salina, Kansas, just a slight geographical error. lol I'm amazed at the turnout of great looking 57 Fords at both the Salina show and the DeMoines show. Out here on the "left coast" we are very lucky to get 2 or 3 57's out to a show and my records of 57's at shows from 2004 to present indicate there are over 200 57's in just Southern California. Bummer!!! You guys in the Mid-West rock.
