What you see above was one of my favorite cars of the show. My buddy Rocky Burris’ Blue Hawaiian 1950 Chevy. Were there cars there built to a higher level with more flash and pizazz? Yup. Were there cars there that make me want to hop in and go for a drive more than this one? Not many.
Friday evening after work I hopped in my daily driver and headed the nearly 300 miles down to my childhood buddy’s home just south east of Tulsa. We talked and BS’d until the wee hours of Saturday morning. A few hours I rolled out of the spare room and found my buddy out in his wood shop. We worked really hard on a project for a couple of hours before it was time to head to the show. Of course the project was just watching Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, so we didn’t have much to do but laugh but it was a good way to start the day.
As we got to the show I ran into another friend in the parking lot I ran into my buddy David who had a couple of extra passes, saving Jared and I the entry fee getting in. The first car we see walking in is the Berlin Bug, a Beetle with a Nailhead behind the seats, this thing is KOOL. There were lots of very high caliber cars at the show this year, but as with any show it’s the high caliber people that make or break any event.
More to come tomorrow…
48 Cars In 48 States : The Great American Road Trip – A 48 state road trip with a stop in each state to photograph a traditionally styled hot rod, kustom or drag vehicle. I completed the trip in November 2017 and have been working on a 224 page coffee table book of the entire 9 week, 18,200 mile adventure since. The book will be out in the Spring of 2018. You can pre-order the book here!
