It's "Cruisin' the Coast" week on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, the biggest special event in the state of Mississippi. 2007 marks the 11th year for the classic car event, a spectacle that draws over 5,000 cars from 37 states, bringing with them about a $15 million boost to the local economy.Ocean Springs is in full festival mode, having blocked off the downtown area for three consecutive days. I went down around lunchtime to take some pictures, and it RAINED and RAINED while I was down there. I still came away with a few pics, including the 1940 Chevy Sedan above. Later, my daughter and I went back together, and this time it was sunny and hot! I forgot my camera that time, so I'll have to settle for the picture above.
