Third Annual Fabulous '50s Weekend in Wildwood, NJ - October
20-22, 2006
|
Want to drive your cool classic car on the boardwalk? (YES, on
the boardwalk) Like to wake up early and walk the beach at sunrise? How about cruising
through neon lit 50's style motels? Maybe a short cruise to get some crab or lobster
in Cape May among the many Victorian houses? Please look into attending this event.
If you are into 50s music, nostalgia, or even just cool cars, this weekend long event
is not to be missed.
Welcome to the Keystone Garage Club Website. Below are details about the weekend I attended in Wildwood, New Jersey.
It is a very cool weekend getaway and I would recommend it to anyone. Much of the
information (and the logo above) has been quoted from the official 50s Weekend Web
Site for a description of THIS year's event and will be displayed in quotes below.
The pictures following the quoted event information have been taken by myself.

| There were classic cars everywhere in Wildwood all weekend. We sawe them parked at
Hotels, Motels, Restaurants, Beaches, on trailers, and even cruising. the only time
to see most of them at one place was on the boardwalk at the Convention Center on
Saturday Afternoon. I got there as they began to leave so I have a fraction of pictures
I should have gotten. It will give you the idea, however, of the large variety of
cool rides that show up at the event. The quality of workmanship on any of these
restorations, originals, or customs was amazing. They even had a news team interviewing
owners for the local news... |
