The family and I took the day off and went down to the Brooklyn CT Fairgrounds on Route 169 today for the annual American Truck Historical Society Truck Show and Flea Market. Most of the trucks being shown are big rigs, but there were quite a few nice old pickups there as well (mostly Fords.)
There were a few really nice 1960's F-series pickups, like this 1960 F250.
It was a great day - sunny and warm and perfect for wandering around looking at nice old trucks and chatting with the owners. There was a flea market/swap meet as well, around the edges of the show area, but unfortunately not too many vendors showed up and the ones that were there didn't have very much stuff for 60's vintage trucks.
By next year, I should have the paint and exterior done on my truck, and I'll enter it to show it off.
I took about 40 pictures at the show of various trucks. I haven't labeled or edited many of them yet, but if you'd like to check them out, here's the link to the Flickr set: http://bit.ly/ATHS6-11
Looks like you had a good time! During the summers we have "cruise ins" every week and I usually manage to go at least once or twice a month just to stroll and enjoy the old classics and the rodded out ones too. Out here we have lots of trucks, so we get to see many of the old ones still on the road. Do you still have the smart car? Wonder if it would fit in the back of the '60??
