Location: Carrollwood Village Park

I am taking my 1963 Ford Falcon to the "Cars in the Park" [[https://gasparillaconcours.com/cars-in-the-park](https://gasparillaconcours.com/cars-in-the-park)](https://gasparillaconcours.com/cars-in-the-park) Saturday, December 6, 2025, from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM, Carrollwood Village Park, 4680 West Village Drive, Tampa, Florida 33624 The show includes "... a fun **Vintage Fashion Show** on stage at 1:30pm, where you get the chance to tell the story of your car for everyone's enjoyment, and fun gifts for those who participate. Please consider dressing in Vintage Clothing that matches the era of your vehicle!" I am willing, but I wondered what guys typically wore in 1963 (excluding suits), and I found this photo from Gadsden, Alabama (somewhat close to Tampa), from June 1963. What I notice is that the guys in the back row are all wearing white socks, with their pant legs short enough to show them off. They are also not wearing tennis shoes and are wearing loafers or lace-up shoes. The high school students (I assume) in the front row are all wearing sneakers. In the back row, one guy is wearing a ball cap, and two are wearing fedora-style hats, and they all have short hair. The guy in the center-left is wearing some cool-looking sunglasses. All the guys have short hair. Other than that, their shirts and trousers look about the same as what I ordinarily wear now.
