Dueling Viewpoints Hi Tom,
ran a full-race flatty (286ci, Isky cam, floor-shifted ‘39 box with ‘53 gears, Columbia 2-speed rear, ‘40 Merc juice brakes, big and littles with Olds spinner caps, origi- nal black paint and white pinstripes). Modern rodders like the nostalgia rides we made in our heyday. dannancy@juno.com Via e-mail
I couldn’t agree more with your question in last month’s “Curbside” about having two-day NSRA events and holding the awards presentation on Saturday evening rather than Sunday afternoon. I’m a long-time attendee at both the East and Northeast Street Rod Nationals however I usually don’t stay for awards at three-day shows. I need to be on the road early on Sunday morning not only to make it a less tiresome ride, but also at 80 years old I like to be off the road and home before dark. I’m hoping this change will be implemented at more shows. W. Pete Smythe Via e-mail Tom, You missed mentioning one of our highlights while attending NSRA events in your recent “Curbside.” At two-day car shows that end on Saturday evening with the awards presentation there are no Sunday morning non-denominational Church Services! This is a must for us old guys to thank our Maker for the rodding fellowship we so enjoy. I’ve enjoyed StreetScene for many years and have no interest in the digital version you mentioned as well. I read many magazines to get ideas for my next build and even have a March 1959 Hot Rod magazine that was printed before you were born. My ‘37 Ford Tudor
Guys, The informal poll of two- or three-day car shows is neck and neck! Sounds like
recent politics.—ED Pointing It Out Dear Editor,
I wait in anticipation each month for my favorite magazine to arrive in the mail- box. Alas, as a favorite hangout for local street rod- ders I regret to tell you StreetScene continually mis- spells the name of our favorite restaurant here in Louisville. As you can see in the photo of my ‘33 Chevy the correct spelling is “ Mike Linnigs.” Tom Pendley Via e-mail Tom, We appreciate your feedback and correction to our error, and let the crew at Mike Linnigs know we appreciate their support to local rodders.—ED
