Two T-buckets sit Thursday in the parking lot for Dina's Diner in Albert Lea. Many T-buckets, as part of the National T-bucket Alliance, were in town for Eddie Cochran Weekend. The yellow one belongs to Mike Wade of Artesia, N.M., and the green one belongs to Harvey and Angie Milton of Hereford, Texas.

Two T-buckets sit Thursday at Depot Liquor in Albert Lea, though the drivers walked to eat lunch at Dina's Diner nearby. The white coupe belongs to Bill and Wanda Dorr of Artesia, N.M., and the orange car belongs to Richard "Punkun" Johnson of Barry, Ill. Members of the National T-bucket Alliance were in Albert Lea for Eddie Cochran Weekend.
Hot rods rolled into Albert Lea on Thursday. Classic cars from Chevy Novas to Ford Mustangs are all around town. But some of the most eye-catching ones are the T-buckets. These are made from old Ford Model T's into that classic hot rod look. T-bucket is an apt name because they are chopped into the shape of a bucket on wheels. One aspect of Eddie Cochran Weekend, which is organized by the Low Bucks Car Club, is the visitation of the National T-bucket Alliance.
