Title: Rick Wins "Best Hot Rod" at a Chevy Show
Post by: 57AGIN on 2014-06-10 01:12
Hi All:

A few of us got together to go to a show about 1/2 mile from our homes last Saturday.  Nice show and a good day for the few FORD guys that were there.  We started the day off at a local gas station with a line-up at the pumps.  Then I got interested in this nice looking coupe with a mean stance.  It was a 1934 Chevy, but it had a big surprise under the hood.  Check out the photos.  Finally, Rick's cool 57 was awarded a "Best Hot Rod" trophy, also a 57 T-Bird took "Best Ford" at the show.  Nice of the Chevelle Club to award a nice trophy to a great ride.

By-the-way, I didn't forget to take a photo of our two cars, just for grins.

I just noticed that you are up in Tacoma, WA.  For the last two weeks I was up in Yakima, WA for a grand daughter's graduation from High School.  Where is Tacoma from Yakima?  Our entire stay was in 80 + degree weather, a far cry from what was expected.  There was a sign just outside of the city limits that said, "Welcome to Yakima, WA the Palm Springs of Washington."
I would have loved to have made contact with another 57's club member.

I just had the frame & hitch strengthened to take the gross towing weight from a measly 3500 lbs. to over 6000 lbs.  Now if I can arrange it, a trip to the Mid-west is more likely to happen while towing 57 AGIN.

Yakima is over on the dry side of the state and it does get much hotter over there. When it warms over on this side its usually combined with humidity, been that way on/off last couple weeks.
