Whew.....after a dry spell of blogging, I HAVE RETURNED!!! And yes, as the front page of the local paper states OS was taken over by legions of classic cars and visitors for the 16th Annual Cruising the Coast. I think all 6,000 cars showed up in Ocean Springs from Thursday through Sunday, judging from the traffic....but lots of interesting things to see and a good time was had by all.
 |
| Cars lined the oak shaded streets. |
 |
| Want to look at an engine? these owners were proud to share! |
 |
| Wow!!! Curbside service |
I found the above truck rather interesting....claimed to be a "Rat Mobile" and the owner below is holding a toilet seat....I missed the story on this one, but just one of the unique "vehicles" I saw.
Looking for entertainment? Afternoon music was provided every afternoon. We caught "Vince Vance and the Valiants" singing a song he wrote, "All I want for Christmas is You".......made me wish for cooler weather.....HA!
 |
| These ladies had the difficult task of judging the cars, good thing they were dressed to blend in with the crowd!! |
There were lots of "celebrities" wandering around....Yes, that is Marilyn Monroe showing off in her famous dress!! And believe it or not, Elvis made an appearance....
 |
| Thank you....Thank you very much! | |
|
These guys must be related to Guy Fieri.......notice the purple hair.....I guess the Louisiana cousins!!!
You could also purchase your very own T-shirt to verify your participation.......
Hungry? Food and drinks were everywhere....from the local restaurants, to food booths set up all along the street!!!
 |
| Slice of pizza and a beer! |
 |
| nice selection of treats! |
 |
| Wow......great bargain! |
 |
| hmmm.......Margarita or Mojito....no, someone was selling Mimosas...think I will head back there! |
A few more specialty cars caught my eye..........
 |
| Pretty in Pink |
 |
| Banana Yellow.......... |
 |
| Ambulance? Hearse? |
I wanted this one........only the price tag shown on the car was Yesterday's price, not today's!
 |
| I want to ride in a red wagon, too! |
I spoke to this guy briefly about his experience with Cruising the Coast in Ocean Springs. His response,
"Well, the cars are loud, the chicks are hot, and the beer is cold........as long as I can drag these old bones outta bed and into my car......I WILL BE BACK!!"
