Actually they’re everywhere. The vintage cars are rolling in from all points north, south, east and west, headed for St. Paul’s fairgrounds for the weekend’s Back to the 50s pah-tay!
Tonight I was driving back in to the metro from Monticello on I-94 and passed a gorgeous, cherry red ‘56 or ‘57 Ford Thunderbird. Further on I passed a big flatbed rig with a pristine little blue and white Nash Metropolitan loaded on the back. Then, just north of Maple Grove I spotted a white ‘60 Chev Impala (bad paint job but who cares). That thing had more fins than Flipper.
So just what is it about these cars that get grown adult men and women so excited and giddy?
