ALL ODDS NATIONALS PHOTO GALLERY | MOVIE CLIP
Thank you to all you guys and gals out there who came to the ALL ODDS NATIONALS this year!
ENTRY: 183 CEDRICS: 41
Didn't we all have a great time? Every year, the ALL ODDS NATIONALS is infamous for being the rainy car show. The meteorologist said it was going to rain cats and dogs that day, but guess what? The sun came out, smiled upon us, and warmed the day up. Some of us even got sunburnt. The weather was good, made people hungry, and the caterers ran out of food. I feel sorry for all you who couldn't get a piece of food at the show! The ALL ODDS NATIONALS is also known as one of the most relaxed shows we hold. It started out a little slower than usual, us thinking that it was going to be one quiet ALL ODDS NATIONALS this year. But once we started tallying, we had 141 entries, and 41 for the Cedric Day.


The "Cool Cedric," 1965 WP31 series Estate Wagon w/ Mr. Ogane

"LONG DISTANCE" went to Mr. Mikami, on his '76 CROWN (MS82)
The Cedric Day consisted of clear cut development styles in each category that just came about naturally. The 230/330 series had their rears stuck high in the air, sort of like a muscle car, most likely because of the decade they were first produced in or maybe just the Glory Rod. The show mostly consisted of Coupes and Sedans more than Stationwagons. The Y30 series were invited because the year embargo was lifted, and they seemed to of just gushed through with 13 entries.
The 130 series seemed to keep stock, and came down a total of 9 cars. The 430s and the Y31s were in the minority, but had one shaped like a taxi that was cool. There were only 2 30 series that entered showing us how difficult it is to upkeep one. This year, a 1965 WP31 series Estate Wagon won the "Cool Cedric" award. Congratulations Ogane san!
We had a lot of early to late entries for the ALL ODDS NATIONALS show itself. From CROWNs, Debonairs, Datsun SP310s, to the 117 coupe, the show had a lot of cars you wouldn't see all together. There were also multiple entries this year such as, a car with a motorcycle, car with go-ped, 2 cars and a Bromer both painted yellow tartan. Another thing that turned out was a group of Mightyboys, and Stepvans. Don't know if they are friends or what, but it was strange. There were also a lot of pinstriped cars, pinstriped by themselves. Almost felt like something out of an American midwest car club. Keep up the good work!
40 swapmeet booths were erected, almost turning the show into a mini mall. Model cars, back issues, old car parts, even cars were on sale for disgustingly low prices. The other award, the "LONG DISTANCE" award went to the 1976 MS82 CROWN Wagon which brought Mikami san, all the way from Sapporo, Hokkaido(Northernmost Island of Japan).
The whole day was just filled with great weather, and filled with lots of fun loving people. Let's do all our shows like this! GO with MOON!!
