Anaconda Alive after Five

Early each Friday evening during the Summer downtown Anaconda hosts Alive after Five, which consists in a live band, crafts for sale (mostly jewelry, it seems), a couple bounce houses, some food vendors, and a car show. The rules for the car show are simple: if it's a vehicle, you can enter it, and anyone can vote for it. We've put Ludwig in a couple times and while he's never won, he gets plenty of attention.

Even though he's in a car show he's not washed or waxed because, if you know me, you know I loathe washing and waxing cars.

The last time we entered him he was a huge hit with E's friends. So much so I had to issue some rules to the seven or eight kids who'd be in him at once. I didn't get around to making a 'no standing on the luggage rack' rule though.

This Beetle-based buggy has been in the show before. I like it, except for the matching wheels.

I like Studebakers too. Even with matching (and rally-ready) wheels.

From the front I'd expected a VW engine to be lurking aft. Nope, but it's pretty close. They even stole the generator (alternator) position and angle of its belt!
