The Inglewood cruise night does not jump like it use to, but Fudderuckers in Lakewood on Clerk is pretty nice its ran by a really cool guy (he's a Ford Truck guy but still.lol) and its a very friendly atmosphere. The one I've been to is on Sunday 1:00 PM - 5:00 PM I have not been to the other ones. Heres what Fuddruckers website says. Lakewood Fuddruckers hosts vintage and classic car shows every Tuesday night 4-8PM and Sunday 1-5PM. Stop by the first Saturday of the month, 1-5PM to see fifty to eighty awesome cars. If you love classic cars, this is a must! I'm not sure how many people are showing up now due to summer being over. I always head over to say whats up after I leave Long Beach Swap Meet. |
Re: 55-56-57
Hey man, I'm "a brother from another mother of another color!". That's what I call my white brother-in-law and my black son-in-law. Its all good. Sounds like the best of those shows would be like Memorial day or Fourth of July.
Funny, I've never been to the Long Beach swaps even though I've meant to a million times. Is it still good, because Pomona - much as I still like it - is a shadow if what it once was. At least in my opinion. Posted via Mobile Device |

Long Beach or Pomona are not what it use to be thats for sure. Lets not even talk about the junkyards. |

Hey Bam:
Did u see all those in one place? WOW they are beautiful. Do u have any more of the bright yellow one from the back and side or whatever? |
Re: 55-56-57
Most of them are people I know trucks with the exception of the two black ones and the yellow one you like.
But here are some more shots of it. http://farm1.static.flickr.com/222/5...7710f5b80b.jpg http://farm1.static.flickr.com/192/5...4ad1ab0650.jpg http://farm1.static.flickr.com/204/5...c8e6b3a158.jpg |
Re: 55-56-57

Re: 55-56-57
As you can see the yellow paint is like yellow glass. I love the quality of the paint on that truck.

My girlfriend give me grief about "lowrider trucks" whenever we see a truck I make a comment about. She hasn't a clue the difference between a "lowered truck" and a "lowrider truck." I've tried to explain it til I'm blue in the face but she insists trucks should NEVER be lowered and I insist they only look the way I like them if they are. Maybe not slammed at my age, but I admit I like the slammed look just not for me. |
Re: 55-56-57

As far as your girlfriend, she's not the only one that thinks a lowered truck is a lowrider truck so cut her some slack and keep on taking her to car shows.lol Quote:

Re: 55-56-57
Those are some nice trucks,the body style still looks good after 50 years.If GM had a half of brain they would bring the model back today set on a camaro or corvette platform with 700 hp option.

That's why (Among MANY $$$ other reasons) I wouldn't have a Ferrari or a Maserati. All it takes to have one is the ability to sign a lease. Our trucks are unique and in my opinion timeless. Posted via Mobile Device |
Re: 55-56-57

Re: 55-56-57
No problem man I'm just glad people like these old trucks.
|
Re: 55-56-57
..OK Dan..I do remember you teaching me the difference in the bow-tie Hood emblems and the fender emblems..so the maroon looking truck I'd say is a '55..right? but..I'm really confused on the fender showing "3200" on a 55 truck?
what up with that? |
Re: 55-56-57
Quote:
I'm not THE expert by any means but as far as I know the 32000 means 3/4 ton. The problem with that is I don't know if 3/4 ton trucks ever came in short beds? Maybe they did (someone here will know) or maybe the guy just got a good deal on 3200 badges and doesn't know or doesn't care about the meaning. |
Re: 55-56-57
3200= long box
