Here are a couple cars that i thought were neat at Back to the 50's this year. We went on Sunday for a couple hours. Then the kids were getting antsy so we continued on our day, but it was still pretty cool to see some odd stuff.

Check out this rat rod model T maybe? The floor was the icing on the cake of this build. And i liked the 6" diameter temperature guage on the radiator, and the hand symbol cut in the back for the brake light.

This little blue car was about 1/2 scale to the full size cars there. I'm not sure what it was or if its even a production car or somebodies million hours of work to make a 1/2 scale car.

Next year the kids will be another year older and will be able to last longer at the show and i can get more pictures.

It looks about the size of a Crosley, but I dont know for sure.

It looks a whole lot like a little 5o Mercury. I don't know if it is a scratch build or if somebody sectioned every single panel on a real car.

Somebody told me that back in the day somebody offer kits to build these little Merc's. I don't know if it is fact or not

I saw this at the Mopar Nats back in '08. Maybe it was built by the same company??
