When I was about 12 (1970) I attended a hot rod custom car show at the Wisconsin State Fair park in my home town of West Allis, Wisconsin. It was something I'll never forget as I came face to face with dozens of incredible hot customs and of course, real 1:1 show rods like the models I was building. That show, like many others around the country from 1960 to 1980, was an International Championship Auto Show (ICAS) run by Promotions, Inc. |
The driving force behind the ICAS was Robert E. Larivee, Sr. His book, "Showtime" is shown to the upper left (ISBN 0-87358-278-0). It's a detailed account of the ICAS from its inception in 1959 to 1980--the glory days of the custom car hobby. Listed below are large postcard-sized cards showing some of the cars which appeared at shows in the 60s. Most cards had detailed descriptions on the back which I have included under each scanned image. |
