This Weekend: Catch AMSOIL at Back to the 50’s

 

We’ve got a sneak peek at some of the cars descending on the Minnesota Fairgrounds for the 44th Annual Back to the 50’s Car Show in St. Paul, Minn. AMSOIL is the Official Oil of this long-standing event, which was voted Best Car Show in the nation by USA Today readers in 2016 and that draws participants and spectators from all over the country.

Back to the 50’s hosts thousands of registered pre-1964 and older vehicles of all makes and models. No matter what you’re into, you’ll find it at Back to the 50’s. Miles of cars line the grounds for an endless supply of eye candy along with a swap meet, classic car auction, high-profile entertainment and much more. If you happen to be in driving distance of St. Paul, hit the road and take a trip down memory lane. You can find us in the AMSOIL booth located at space B39 by the grandstand now through Sunday, June 25. Our friends of the Street Rodder Road Tour are nearby with their bevy of show-stoppers, so be sure to stop through and say hello to all of us. We’ll see you there.
