The movie Peggy Sue Got Married was filmed in Santa Rosa, California in 1986.
Since then a Peggy Sue's car show has been held in memory of that film in Santa Rosa annually and this years show had over 700 cars in attendants.
There were the usual 55, 56, 57 Chevys and a variety of all other makes and models, but nothing stock without being highly modified. There is nothing wrong with that if that's your thing, but for me I was hoping for just one stock 34 through 40's Ford without tons of chrome and motors that belong in a jet plane.
The saving grace was that I saw a few original 53 54 Mercury's in like new condition that were totally unmolisted. Who would have thunk?.....the day was saved! Well maybe there is always next years show!

s Its getting that way all over. No more Antique car shows. Even the V-8 Ford National meet they are sneaking in. Soon they will take over as they have done in local shows. I quit local shows because of that. Now they are bringing new cars and trucks to the shows. They have prizes for them also.
