Held in "Old Town" Temecula, and the streets are blocked off for the day. If your city, like San Diego, was founded a long time ago it might have a similar tourist area of historic preservation that surrounds the old pioneers businesses... Temecula does too, and it makes for nice backgrounds for photographing the old cars
That woody really caught a lot of attention
I love before and afters... hard to look at the above "as found" and think it's a candidate for a full restoration
the handle came from a spare that was part of the old apartment knobs and hardware from the days gone by that the apartment manager cleaned out
nice choice of blanket color
It's got a Hudson emblem on the front, but I don't know.. it's a long way from where it started
If you've seen other cars that Strope's place has worked on, you'll be happy to see another Pure Vision Mopar
This 1956 Fiat transporter was used by Lance Reventlow's Scarabs during the 1960 Grand Prix season http://www.italiaspeed.com/2008/cars/others/events/08/pebble_beach/fiat_transporter/0309.html and then was bought by Carroll Shelby for the Cobra Daytona team cars seen in here http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2009/02/shelby-cobras-being-transported.html
El Cid is in a magazine this month, just read the article, and can't recall which magazine
I was paying attention to the light and window reflection on the windshields of these two, and think it turned out well
This sign was the coolest one I found at the show, who ever thought of this is a genius
Above, the Glass Slipper
Above, the only 6 wheel hot rod I can recall, and for sure the only one with military tires!
The Moonliner, love it. I've loved the look of this for many years, posted it in 2006: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2006/11/love-mooneyes-stuff.html as it's the cover of the Dean Moon book, and have wondered if it was once painted red, or if this is a different car: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2006/11/terrific-photo-of-streamliner-on-salt.html
I'd like to see this Merc with the trunk closed
just below the Rat fink is a flying eyeball
Above are 3 of 4 Mr Norm's vehicles, the new Demon is behind the truck
Very pretty blue, and yes, I love the car too.
