Roving Reporter Jim Grobe stopped by our booth.for a visit.  Jim took over 1000 pics at the show!

     This year was as big a party as ever at the Minnesota Street Rod Associations “Back to the Fifties” show.  The unique size and layout of the Minnesota State Fairgrounds lends itself to a really great “block party” for rodders.   Cars fill the streets of the fairgrounds and are free to cruise, and stop and visit with friends who are setting up picnics and barbecues on the tree shaded lawns.    This was our tenth year exhibiting and it’s just more fun every year.  We had so many of our readers stop by to thank us for helping them sell their cars.... and one couple stopped by to thank us for providing a place where they FOUND a great car.  They had been looking for the perfect 32 Ford for months and the minute their dream car showed up on Hotrodhotline they called the seller and clinched the deal !   We really appreciate all of the very kind words from our friends and visitors, it was so nice seeing you all again.  We also want to thank the great folks of the Minnesota Street Rod Association... they work hard every year to put together a fantastic show and they are always such a big help to the vendors and participants.    We have tons of pictures to go along with those submitted by our Roving Reporters... so sit back and cruise the Minnesota State Fairgrounds  with the Minnesota Street Rod Association.

This is often the first show where we see our friends from Michigan Hot Rod Association Rod Repair Shop in action.

These guys are a saving grace for rodders who get to a show and then experience some sort of breakdown of mishap.

They’re volunteers who travel to many NSRA shows and to Back to the Fifties outfitted with a complete shop on wheels full of parts and supplies donated by many businesses in our industry.
