I have been to a few Street Classics shows before and I always have a good time so when I saw a flier for their Pre 1955, Hot Rods – Roadsters -Rat Rods, show I made sure to stick it on my fridge so I would remember to cover it.
While the show was smaller than previous Street Classics shows I had been too (due to age specification) the quality of cars was still amazing.
Stickers/Airbrushing
We young punks are not the only ones with a sense of humor
I seem to be seeing this sticker more latelyOld school stickers are so much funThis is the second time I have seen a painted on plate at a Hot Rod showLost timeNo woman no cryAwesomeIf you need any real fabrication this guy is the manThis song was played at least once during the dayAirbrushed Pontiac logo, pretty bossAirbrushed inside of the hood
Trucks
Vintage trucks just have a certain look about them that makes them unique. I think it has to do with the balance of round fenders with strong body lines.
And to think this was probably a work truck onceVintage hotnessThis truck is full of winThis Suburban was for sale, around 35 thousand if I recallThe most unique vehicle at the showBest hood ornament everPurpose builtShe moves
Led sleds
Chopped, dropped, and channeled, no bondo here
Flatblack, lake wood pipes, and flames, classic lead sledTo finish of the look this car just needs a floodlightFlat pearl paint helps the pin striping popThese cars are so hard to identify due to the amount of modsDumped.
Hot Rods
While technically all the cars on this page could fit into this category I am going to use it to separate the other rods from the Highboys and Lowboys
Bad ass Bel AirAttention to detail yields a clean trunk like thisA classic flame job fills out these fat fendersThe bra kills the front end but saves it at the same timeThe spilled coffee was fakeNot a rod but this guy dropped by for a little bit with this nice chopperBetter shot of the car with the painted on plateThis one was actually really small more so for a four doorHaha woodie.They sure don't design them this well anymoreI love the lines and wheelsI wonder how much these paint jobs cost, I guess if I have to ask...I bet this car goes like hell due to it's sizeTiny little thingLow shot of the this small rocketBel Air wagon
Ford Highboys and Lowboys
In this weeks Theme Tuesday I alluded to the fact that it was one inspired by an event. Well this was the event.

Hopefully I can make it this show again next year and see more classics.
