33 Coupe Having Fun 66       6/20/08

There was a new show in historic downtown section of Redlands called "Surfin' State Street" on Friday, June 6th that ran from 6 - 9 pm. This show had a live band featuring The Tornadoes, (which were very good) a raffle, 50/50 drawing and there was a DJ too.

For being their first show, it had a pretty good turnout with about 60 or 70 cars that showed up. Let's check out some of the hot rods that came out.
 

 

 

Here we have a 68 Camaro SS that was real clean.
 

 

 

The Camaro had a 350 Chevy that was spotless.
 

 

 

A pair of super clean Dodge's.
 

 

 

 

 

 

This is a 57 Chevy with a unique feature on the dash. As far as I know, this wasn't a factory installed item but was available through aftermarket dealers. It was to help you see what color the stop light was. How? Well back when these cars were new, most stop lights hung directly overhead if you were stopped in the front of the line. This meant that you had to bend forward over the steering wheel and look upwards out of the windshield to see if the light had turned green or not. If you had one of these on your dash, the green light would reflect off this wavy-shaped piece of glass to let you know when the light had changed.
