St. Louis Mega - Cruise-in, Post 1 of 5

Hi guys,
Tonight was the monthly cruise-in at a large church in Fenton, MO, essentially a SW suburb of St. Louis. IMO, this event is consistently the best event in the St. Louis area to see a whole bunch of really great and diverse set of classic cars. About 15-minutes before I left at 7pm tonight, the MC announced there were 325 vehicles that had entered. The really cool thing is that they are all pre-1980. There will be 5 posts of pics, so please hold off on any comments until I get them all in. Thank you snd I hope you enjoy the pictures!

Thanks for taking the time to post all these pictures. One thing i noticed is lots of these folks don't seem to bother with clean tires. I the last car and the Cobra in the first group are the worst. The Cobra looks like he got stuck and never got around to cleaning his tires.

You're welcome for the pics. I agree with you on the tire cleanliness. All I can think of is that since it's not a judged show they're thinking why bother? I think I'm in your camp when I say that when I'm displaying my car I want it to look it's best, judged or not.

Wow what a great show. I think my favorite is the Retractable, followed closely by the Valiant Road Toad.

To tell the truth I didn't notice the tires when I scrolled through the pictures. But then I went back and looked again and I couldn't not see it. Looks like several of them took a dirt road to get there.

Thanks Chris.

Thanks Chris.
Mike - You're welcome for the pics! I think you probably hit the nail on the head in regard to the dirty tires on some of the cars. We got a tremendous amount of rain here on Wednesday, Thursday, and into Friday morning. If anyone had to travel any length of gravel their tires definitely would have been trashed.

X3 on the dirty tires but I would guess the camera brings it out more. Chris, great pics as usual but let's get all 325 pics next time, quit being so lazy
My favorite was the blue 67 GTX!

James - LoL, I'll try to do better next time, maybe 200 pics working towards getting them all!

John - Yes, both those Vettes are beautiful cars, both with 427's in them. The '68 442 Vert in Post 2 is one of the nicest cars in our StL Old's Club. Thanks for the compliment on the quality of the pics, much appreciated!
