We attended the Backstoppers Car Show today at the Elks Club in St Louis County, Mo and the weather was beautiful.  So were the 200 cars in attendance for Classic Car class judging.   The event was enjoyed by well over 200 spectators who mingled with the car owners.  The SLICK Car Club hosted the event had a difficult time with the judging, because of so many outstanding autos on exhibition.  Cars came in from as far away as 80 miles to travel to the always spectacular car show at the Elks Club on Ladue Rd.

CarWorldConnect.com talked to several car owners who said that this is one of the best of the season to be in attendance.  And I would have to say, “that the day was perfect, the cars were magnificent and the judging went smoothly.   The event proceeds raised funds for the St Louis Backstoppers, a wonderful charity organization sponsored by the St Louis Businesses who help the family survivors of fallen police officers killed in the line of duty. 

We have a few pics of the Car Show.  Enjoy, and if you have any information you would like to post here at our blog about your car shows, feel free to do so.

Most of us remember the Nash back in the Fifties when the 57 Chevy ruled the drag strips and circle joints as King of the times, and the little Nash was something to ridicule with your buddies. But did you know that the Nash was something of a War Hero in World War II? Its true! This 1942 Magazine ad lays it out for you. Nash and Kelvinator, was involved in projects with the Military during War II. You might also remember your mom’s Kelvinator washing machine. The little ugly Nash went to serve our country as one of the most infamous and dreaded “Dog Fighters” of the Pacific war theatres during World War II. It was known as the Gull Wing Corsair, a highly sofisitcated fighter aircraft with a very high success rate against the Nipon airforce over the South Pacific Seas. They also manufactured the 2000 horsepower Pratt-Whitney engine that powered this awesome fighter. In some respects, if you look closely at the little Nash, you will see some resemblances to the first production models of the Corsair. “If I only knew then what I know now.” I would have stayed away from Earl’s Chili Dogs, and I would have probably courted Mary Sue in a Nash. Mmmmm….Not………….!
