My mother and sister and I take a 3 day getaway trip every year, sometimes in October and sometimes in February. We have gone to Gulf Shores, AL for the past few years, but decided on Biloxi, MS this year and just happened to be there during Cruising the Coast! We didn’t realize until after the reservations were made that it was Cruisin week, so I was amazed that we got such a good deal on our room!
The first morning we decided to drive to Mickey D’s for breakfast and do some exploring and discovered that we were just a block away from the cars, so we remained parked where we were and walked over to the show, which encompassed the whole downtown area of Biloxi. So many cool cars to see – I was a happy snapper!
Some of the vehicles seemed all dressed up for Halloween. There was this Cobra with it’s lovely passenger! My mom snapped a shot of me with her – maybe this is me in the afterlife – hahahaha!
Another interesting Halloweeny vehicle was the old hearse – very detailed and cute! Notice the progression of IV material in the back 
Got this cool shot of my mom and sister through the back window of the hearse
Another thing the show had was entertainment! The theme this year was Sweet 16, so the music was 50′s style. We saw Elvis and a fun group in front of the courthouse
This cute group of kids was dancing and performing near Hwy 90 in front of the casino – I believe they were from Biloxi High School.
Saw them walking in the crowd later and they posed for this group shot for me – I just love teenagers – they love to be in pictures!
It was a big crowd and a little on the steamy side as far as the weather went but we had a blast and even got the t-shirts to prove it! Here is a photo of my sister with her t-shirt
Love those cars! What fun.
This is great! Looks like a ton of fun!
I love old cars.. I love new cars.. but shows like that I can ogle all day… the trip sounds as though it got off to a good start and lots of fun was had…
Looks like a lot of fun and I love the old cars! My first was my parents’ old ’66 Mustang.
Ooo, don’t you wish you still had it! There is a 65 with my name on it in my husband’s shop waiting for restoration – I may get it when by the time I’m 65….hahaha!
I do, but I just had no place for it and it wasn’t a practical car to drive regularly. Poor gas mileage. Almost 400k miles on the car (over 200k on that engine). Persistent water leaks in the corners of the windshield and persistent radiator leaks. No air conditioning for the hot summers. But I still loved it! It did go to a good home where it would be restored, though.
Great shots – looks like fun! I enjoyed growing up on the Miss. Gulf Coast.
It was great fun – my first Crusin the Coast event, and I have been living here for 34 years! It’s amazing the things you miss out on in your own backyard sometimes. My next post will be about a tour that we took of the downtown Biloxi area. It’s a whole lot different than it used to be.
Mary, I’m glad that my husband didn’t know it was up for sale – in his case resistance is futile when it comes to purchasing old mustangs
