Glad everyone enjoyed them. I will scan and post the rest later.

No Rick, I didn't know any of the people pictured.....I was just a tourist. That trip was the first time in my life I had flown on an airplane and the first time I had been to California. Marilee and I flew out there to visit her brother (who still lives there) and her aunt & uncle. We will be going back there in September for our nephew's wedding, but now we can drive there in a few hours :)

Pretty cool.
Closest thing these days to it is Dreamcruise.

The real "seventieshow". I would like to have the black Vega in the second picture.

It's kind of ironic that when communities & the police started to crack down to put an end to these activities, a TV news crew would be there to interview people and there was ALWAYS that one guy that would say: "My grandparents cruised, my parents cruised, I cruise and my kids are gonna cruise! You can't stop it!". I would've agreed but those days most certainly did come to an end when today's generation of kids are able to stay in contact with each other using cellphones & social media without even leaving their houses!

Great pics. Brings back the way cars looked back in the day. I kept mine stock, so I was kind of in the minority back then.

Cool!

Memorial Drive in Stone Mountain, GA was our version of that. The cops cracked down and killed the cruise around 1980-1981.

Nice find.

I surprised how many trucks were cruising. There were only a few around here and they were all full size, no imports.

Cruising Gratiot on east side of Detroit looked just like that in my day! Good times!
