How about some more of what we saw while wandering around "Back To The '50s" at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds?
One thing you notice at Back To The '50s is how many cars wear original or repro-original color schemes, like this "shoebox" flatty-powered '55 Plymouth Belvedere or the "Swept Wing" '58 Dodge parked next to it!
Wish we could've told you who showed this '52 Plymouth Belvedere hardtop (no owner's ID on the windshield)...but it's a well-done cruiser!
And now, an "executive hot rod:" the '55 Chrysler C-300. This restored beauty's owned by D.Gerber of Roseville, MN (just up the road from the Fairgrounds).
Yes, those are 2 4-barrels atop
that FirePower Hemi, which helped bump the engine's peak hp to the magic 300 number.
More (including why some later-model Mopars were there) later!
