Trailer queen for a weekend

We have a big show up here in New England this weekend called Frank Maratta's Auto Show and Racearama. This is my 2nd straight year of being invited to it. With there still being a lot of salt on the roads from this crappy winter, I unfortunately had to trailer the 69'er up there. The group I represented provided the checkerboard mat. I think it looks awesome and really makes the truck pop.

That's a nice truck! I love the stance. What size rims and tires are on her?

Sweet truck! Don't blame you for keeping it off the winter roads.

Re: Trailer queen for a weekend

I don't really like it on the checkerboard. It would look soooo much better in my shop. LOL

Re: Trailer queen for a weekend

Your truck always pops and even more on the checkerboard. Your truck looks like the brightest vehicle in the show. Are there any more 67-72's on display, if so post a pic or two.

Re: Trailer queen for a weekend

Makes me jealous mine sits in my pole barn with the front clip still not on............And we have a big event called "The Piston Power Show" in 2 weeks at the Cleveland IX Center which used to be a tank plant operated by General Motors in the 60-70s.
