'37 Ford, 350/350 combo
'32 Ford Hiboy running a 302 and AOD xmsn
Buck Owens' '51 Merc
According to the placard, Buck Owens (yes, that one) saw this car at a show in 2000 and purchased it from the owner for $55K. The only major changes he made to the car were to have his name and guitar logo stitched into the front door panels, the song title "Together Again" stitched into the back seat and "Together Again" pinstriped at the rear of the doors (I thought I had a pic of that).
'32-34 Chevy.
I've always thought that was a great use for an old cam....
'60 Impala running a Vette LS3 and 4L60E
'50 Ford, 350 and T5 xmsn
I love those 49-53 Ford and Mercs...
Is this BigSky56's new business venture?
'40 Ford
This one was so odd looking that it sort of intrigued me. Sort of.
'55 Pontiac
'48 Cadillac running 509cid.
'36 Pontiac with a GenII Viper engine and 6spd xmsn
'32 Chevy with a 425 Nailhead
'37 International
I thought the engine plumbing was great!
'29 Model A with a 350/350 combo
I wouldn't mind this one being in the drive. I think a slight change in tires (I'm not a huge fan of wide rears without fenders unless it's a dedicated drag car but that's just my personal taste) would be the only thing I'd do to it.
'54 Chevy with the 292 Stovebolt 6 and a 4spd
'48 Anglia with a 350
'26 Ford running a 2.3l inline 4.
I never could understand what kind of I4 the owner was saying it had.
'72 International Scout with a Chevy 350
'29 Model A
Love the pinstriping
'50 Ford (blue) and '53 Ford (red)
Did I mention I'm a huge fan of the Lead Sled?
'31 Ford running a SBC and Powerglide
Willys Gasser!
'62 T-Bird Kustom (yes, Kustom
) For a long time I really wasn't a fan of the '60s style kustoms, especially the more elaborate ones, but this simpler style is REALLY growing on me!
'46 Stude
The center console was an ammo can with a cup holder installed. I couldn't get a good shot of it but it was uber-cool!
'29 Ford "Corrugated Flyer"
364 Nailhead in a '30 Ford Tudor
Yum....
'49 Ford
A project but from what I saw, it could be made into a real looker with a modicum of effort and determination. Did I mention...
'53 Chevy
The '49-54 Chevys don't rank quite as high on my "Ooooh look at THAT!" scale as the Fords and Mercs but I think they look better unchopped and riding at closer to stock height. Sometimes just the right wheel/tire combo is all it takes to make one into a good looking ride.
'51 Ford running a Chevy 454.
'39 Dodge with another 454
'54 Chevy 210 post wagon
'34 Ford with a 355 and 5spd
I seem to shoot this one at each show. It must appeal to me somehow...
'60 Chevy Kustom (running a 348 IIRC)
This one is right at the edge of what I consider "too much" when it comes to the '60s style kustoms. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the effort and work that goes into a paint job like that, but I guess my preferences are a little more understated. Then again, it wasn't built for me so he can do as he durn well pleases!
'65 Coronet 440cid Gasser
'50 Merc with an LT1
'29 Ford
Rat Rod Mail Truck
Rat Rodders seem to have the best sense of humor, or at least the best sense of irony.
This one is supposed to have local drag racing ties but I didn't think to get a pic of the placard for the info.
'23 Ford Track-T
The story behind this one was neat enough that I just had to post the whole thing.
'59 Rambler
I'd always heard the big Ramblers looked like an upside down bathtub. Looks like it to me!
'53 Lincoln Cosmopolitan
Not something you see every day. Or at every show...
'56 Chevy pickup
Certainly one of the things on my "Lottery List" will be a modified Tri-Five pickup.
Flathead!
This '32 Model B pickup has a Model B engine up front so I don't know if he had this out for display, had just picked it up in the swap meet section or if he's planning to drop this in as a replacement. Or maybe he just thought it looked cool in the bed.
'72 Maverick running a 347 and T5
I've seen this one the past few shows and I'd really like to see it on the autocross track to see what it can do. I think one of these Mavericks could be a fun, fairly easy project IF you can find one that isn't rotted out or cut up for drag racing. Build up either an older 302 or drop in a late model (say mid-90s) 5.0 and have a boat load of fun in a car you don't see many of anymore outside of the drag strip. In fact, you could say the same for the Vega if you're a die-hard GM fan. Just use a 327 instead.
'33-34 Ford
Replica Cobra running 460cid
No additional comments needed...
Now to bide my time until the October show....
