Got to meet Pat (suede57ford) at the roundup. Pat and his brother have a awesome pair of 57,s. Unfortunately my 57 is still at home in pieces. There were several 57,s at the show.
The Round up was AWESOME!!!!!! Been going for 8 years in a row.
Had a chat with Pat and his brother as well.... Man.. they do great work and have Killer stuff!
Great guys.
These were there..... I did not get a shot of Pat's Brothers wagon...but it was B E A U T I F U L .....
Passed a B/W 2 door wagon on the way home too.... deadly.

I saw that radical chopped/lowered 53ish Ford w/the Buick grille at Viva Las Vegas Show a couple weeks ago. Monday after the show, him & a couple other cars came through Kingman & stopped at a local burger joint for lunch. Parking lot filled up real fast after they stopped.

I think it is just an emblem of some sort. A closer look shows that it mounted on the outside of the grille.

The black '57 Custom Sedan in the picture above had an all correct F-Code supercharged engine. It was a really nice restoration, top quality and correct. Everything delete car too. The owner is Curt Cunningham out of Missouri. The emblem on the grille was a Thunderbird Club emblem.
I was able to get the motor back in my '57 Sedan the night before we left. It runs great with the new Mummert Aluminum heads.
I spent some time talking '57's with George Poteet Saturday afternoon as well. I also got to visit with Jeff Norwell for a bit as well as Bob Owens from Owen's Salvage.
Both my brothers made it with RanchWagons. Jimmy's '57 is shiney black and Dan's is a Flat black with candy red top '55.
We had a party of 16 to eat at Shady Grove Saturday night with all the family and kids.
I sure was glad I was able to have my car finished and have such a good weekend.
Pat..3:50 A.M. posting...LOL...isn't it great having yougins?
Holy cow!...I think my 57 ford honorary club card is gonna be revoked....I never looked that close at that badge... At a quick long range glance I thought it was a Triple aaa badge.
So great to visit you and the family Pat.
