Yep, it's almost as interesting as the name hints at.......

This past Sunday, me and Trace (I don't want to use proper grammar) went to a combination car, rockabilly, 50's music sorta outdoor show. It was held in a park outside the city and was candy for the eyes!

I'll do the vehicles first. There were some interesting ones:






This wasn't just a low rider...it sat on the ground, literally, no back wheels.








The stingray from many a boy's youth...made even better with the monkey handle bars and banana seat.




Not a Harley fan per se, but can appreciate the old ones. It's just most of the news ones...nah.

The people were as dressed up as the cars!


My sweetie pie wearing his Pinup Girl Shirt. We didn't have much in the way of 50's costumes, so we made do with what was handy and in the closet.


Classic American Muscle....oh and the cherry red Pony too!

The rest of these are just folks from the show:







They had a Kitty Walk where all gals that wanted to, could participate in the best costume contest:









The Top Three


One of the vendors with some cool tats. I got one of these tank tops. Didn't realize Trailer Trash would be a recognized term here Down Under.



These made me want to go get another tattoo...but where and what???

[Hedo69]

Accoutrements and other bits of interest. These are just things I found photo worthy. Pieces of cars or Pieces of personality.










These were lined up in a restored cop car.












The Green Fairy, perhaps?


























The curse of the Bright Red Lipstick!

Looked like lots of fun. I like the old car shows like that. We don't have them around here anymore with all the winery crap all the time.

Nice photo's kid. I bat Trace had a blast with all those old cars there.

Great pictures Deb.

It's interesting to see American cars as left side drivers. The crazed rat (photo'ed) on the antenna was a 60's hot rod icon and as you mentioned, the Stingray bike was a big part of growing up for many. I recall the "Krate series" from Schwinn. They had the Orange Krate, Apple Krate, Lemon Peeler and a few others, expensive in there day but they had the absolute cool factor at the time.

I see Australia had a good mix of American iron and European machines through the years too.
