No, it's not old enough to qualify as an actual "cruiser", has to be at least 25 years old, but a lot of car owners drive what they own and just take in the events. CC started in 1996, and Katrina really put a damper on things, but it's back big time, over 3000 new entries just this year. I'll be taking tons of pics.
Most of the cars are trailer queens, older shoeboxes, 60s American muscle, t-buckets, rat rods, you get the idea. Not too many low-riders, mini trucks and all that bs. They have their own separate event.
What's cool about CC is the cars usually cruise the entire length of Hwy 90, which is also called Beach Boulevard, the cops try to coordinate it without getting in the way, if you do a monster burnout in front of one you'll get a ticket, but for the most part they're pretty cool about it. Folks put up lawn chairs and sit on the sides of the highway and just watch the cars go by all day.... live music at some spots, all kinds of stuff.
Several years back I was on 90 cruisin in my Camaro, had to stop right in front of a bunch of Hooters girls. One of 'em jumped out in front of me with a bucket of water and dumped it on the road in front of me. Well, I don't have to tell you I smoked 'em for 50 feet until I couldn't see from the tire smoke
lots of fun.
