Heather and I attended the Route 66 Roadfest here in Tulsa a few weeks ago. I’ve been in years past but this was her first time. The event has lots of Route 66 information and speakers, displays, and all that and I have seen all that and loved it. This year I was there for the cars and trailers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

They had a group of old travel trailers. They were all dolled up for glamping. When I was a kid, we used similar units for traveling. Talk about tight!! Squeezing a family of five in there. It all worked though. My sister has told me that she felt sorry for my brother and I when Dad got a tent for us to sleep outside. She can rest her conscience. We loved it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

This one had a custom handhold to help get yourself in the trailer. All the old folks checking out the trailers were bumping our heads on the doors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

And here is a two story unit. We went in and shuffled around with everybody else. We didn’t go upstairs. It was very cramped up there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

For the cars. This old Mercury Woody Station Wagon might have been my favorite. Talk about beautiful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Or maybe this old Chevrolet Corvette Singray might be my favorite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

How about an old Edsel. Very stylish but forever stained by the failure of the cars in the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

How about a nice Shelby Cobra?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Or a Ford Thunderbird. Lots of Tbirds at the show. That’s my wife right besides the front passenger door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

A heavily modified Chevrolet Camaro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Lots of chrome to go with the supercharger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Here is a Chevrolet with a supercharger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

How about gold toned quad carburetors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

This Thunderbird had the best paint job at the show, IMHO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

I especially like the custom hood ornament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

And an old Plymouth Duster. They were all the rage back in the day. A big engine wrapped in a cheap car. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

You don’t see too many of them around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Another old Woody Station Wagoni.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

And a vintage Ford Truck. Dad had one similar to this. Except it was yellow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

How about an old Model A?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

How about a hub cap selfie?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
