It's SummerNats in Australia, and Damien (OnFourWheels.blogspot.com) has posted galleries to share the evolution of Holdens, Fords, etc from the 50's to current models

looks so close to a 55 Chevy, but a little smaller

the above are airbrushed cigars that from a distance, appear as the fender vents

For tons of SummerNats coverage, and all Australian cars! http://onfourwheels.blogspot.com/

you'ss be able to look at the sunkissed warm Aussie cars from where ever on the planet you are, no mattter how much snow is outside your home, see cars you've never seen before like the Armstrong Siddeley, and ponder what keeps the rest of the world from adopting the Ute as a common car model http://onfourwheels.blogspot.com/

More stuff that I liked at SEMA

This is Randy's newest Blastolene Brothers creation, the Decoliner http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2011/10/blastolene-brothers-invent-again-randy.html

The above is the Dynasport http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2008/03/from-speed-kings-garage-and-scott.html from Scott Whittaker, the same guy who built the Dynaliner http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2011/12/dynaliner-returned-to-sema-it-is.html

I think that if my grave headstone looked like the above pinstriping, I'd be a happy corpse

wow, great airbrushing by Munoz!

And great way to show off the rig and display bottles

Have you been over to Bring A Trailer lately? Good stuff showing up there

the seller wants 25 thou for this 1973 Ford XB Falcon

This '68 Mangusta is a 42000 mile original the ebay listing states, but has been stored a real long time. Makes me think it wasn't a good car, because someone wasted a lot of money and then never got their money's worth. I smell a rolled back odometer.
check out http://bringatrailer.com/ for all sorts of good finds, these and so many more

0 comments Posted by Unknown at 6:21 AM

during that era a whole bunch of Falcon GT parts were exported to South Africa where they were assembled into Fairmont GTs. Recently, a large haul of Fairmont GTs was unearthed and the collector is the first commentor on the article, setting the story straight

Daytona Florida's annual Turkey Run, hot rod show

0 comments Posted by Unknown at 11:05 PM

You and I must love the same sort of unusual stuff, and hot rods, and race stuff... or we wouldn't both look at the stuff I have here, right?

Well, you will enjoy his writing more, and his photos just as much, and for a great description by one who's been there, let me turn you over to John at http://oleragtop.blogspot.com/2008/08/eye-candy-at-turkey-rod-run.html

Cool light green, wonder what it started as? Early 50 shoebox Ford? I was close! It's a 49 Aussie Ford Ute... Thanks to Dan for knowing right where to get the story... in Mike Kelly’s Cruise News, author Ken Caskey of Kidd Darrin’s Restorations & Custom Built Cars in Melbourne, Florida spotlighted the Ford Ute. http://www.cruisenewsonline.com/49FordUteAustralianUtility/49FordUteAustralianUtilityFeature.html
Hot rodded Chrysler Airflow or Airstream!
Ummm, Opel? Alfa? Nope... Dan got this one too! First the Ute then this one! Man's on a roll... this is a Saab 96... for a photo of a stock one to compare it with http://www.saabhistory.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/03/saab_96_rac_front.jpg
