Great Day In Sandpoint - Lost in the 50's

The Skirt tagged along with Chuck McVey who took his '41 Business Coupe up to Sandpoint, Idaho for their 24Th annual "Lost in the 50's" car show this past Saturday. Beautiful weather, over 400 cars, a big appreciative crowd, friendly shopkeepers and restaurateurs and good company made for an all around superb outing.
Here's a recap of our day.
You would have to be at the show pretty early to catch Paul Wingfield and Jack White waxing Paul's new Mercury - it's one low and sexy car.

Congratulations to Don and Nancy Wilbur.

Their '32 sedan took the top award in the Street Rod class.


It was nice visiting with the Ed & Mel, last years top winner in the Sports Car class with their home-built Cobra. Not sure what happened this year. They were unfortunately placed in the wrong class. Winning isn't everything to Ed and Mel, though the skirt thinks this is the first time they have lost. Now for Chuck McVey ......

He hasn't gone home empty-handed yet. Chuck McVey won 1st runner-up in Custom Rods.

Dozens of '41 devotees came up to Chuck's car for a closer look. Chuck was more than happy to answer all their questions.

Lots of great cars and people. Here are a few more things that caught our eye.

Chopped Merc - OO-LA-LA!
Sharp looking sedan. Pretty sure it took home a trophy. '27 Ford '33 Ford

"Lizzie"

a Model A with a great story and a black lab in the back seat.

'Course there was so much more, but you can't show it all.
Until next time.
