This weekend was the second annual Route 66 Roadfest <\/a>at the Fairgrounds here in Tulsa. It was a little subdued just because of all the rain that we had. I went last year and really enjoyed it. They have a lot of information grouped by decades of the history of Route 66 and how it was gradually supplanted by interstate highways and is now in a full blown revival. So all that was fun to read and review. I was also interested in the cars. They have a lot of vintage cars on display as well and took lots of photos of them. I love the styling of old cars but I like driving new cars. The old cars were very unreliable and required lots of routine maintenance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A VW Microbus. My wife’s parents had one and they went camping in it all the time. They talk in warm tones about them. I remember back in the 60’s they were everywhere. Now going up mountain passes? That was not their jam. Lots on the side of the road cooling off. I love the train case on top of the bus. Remember train cases? All the traveling ladies had train cases. I haven’t seen one in years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And some people had stickers, some had many stickers. We were never a sticker family. The only sticker I have had on my car ever was a Dallas Cowboys sticker. I no longer have one. Being a Cowboys fan is not anything to be proud of these days. But I am still a fan! A stealth fan!! Don’t tell anybody, you are sworn to secrecy. Too late for you to back out now. I’m watching you!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And an old 60’s model Chevrolet Corvette. Time was only airline pilots, millionaire’s and IBM salesmen had them. Now it’s just old boomers dreaming of the good ole days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back in the day even family sedans had lots of chrome, swoopy curves, and whitewall tires. Now all the cars look like Toyotas. Now I like Toyota’s don’t get me wrong but you won’t see me posting any photos of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"_DSC0798\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And a little bit older car. Look at all that chrome and paint job!! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"_DSC0799\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

More chrome and two tones of paint. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had a lot of fun. I’ll post more car photos later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
