The "Blast" always seemed more fun in the promotion materials that it really was. In all fairness I only saw it once, but it felt so contrived in person it almost seemed sad. Maybe it was just the 80's funk I was in??? Anyway, enjoy this fun parking lot brochure from March 19 and 20, 1988.
I had no idea you could actually rent those classic cars from National! I probably would have done that. In 1984 I rented the "New" Corvette from a place in Beverly Hills, it was $110 for one day plus a $2,500 deposit on my Visa! (after all that and my old '70 Firebird was still faster...)

I certainly remember the "Blast From the Past", and my reaction was about the same as yours. Meh! It just felt like it was aimed at young children, or maybe I was just at an age where I was too cool to care!! ;-)
Yes, two years, just like State Fair.
I remember State Fair and Blast from the Past running Spring and Fall for two years in a row. My daughter was a baby at the time, so I'm thinking 1988 and 1989.
Blast was the best show the entertainment division did that entire decade!
