Thread: Vintage Car Show-Koreshan State Park

Great cars and a great setting! :-)

Although I've driven by this park a million times over the years, I really knew very little about it's origins, other than it was some sort of religious commune from years ago. Don was telling me that they wanted to be totally self sufficient to the point of making everything right on the grounds, growing and raising all of their food, etc.

I found this on wikipedia, in case anyone was interested:

I would take the 36 Standard in a heartbeat.

Too funny with the tape to measure for the chop of the top I bet they would have swallowed their teeth! I walked out of the restroom right after the comment was made with my Rod and Custom hat and my hot rod tshirt on. They looked like they saw a ghost.

I have lots of respect for these restorers and I think you are right that hot rodders have saved more of these cars from the crusher than any restorer has.

Good link pops to the Leaders of this commune. Really cool grounds and buildings.

The power plant was the coolest with the huge alternator providing power for the whole place until Westinghouse provided power as we know it today. I wonder if that alternator would fit in one of our rods!!?? Seriously that thing was 4 feet by 4 feet easily. Too cool.

Thanks for looking. Don Jr.

great pictures. love the mercedes.
