2015 Lonestar Roundup Pt. 1 Coverage Brought To You By Owens Salvage Co.

I’ve been attending the Lonestar Roundup since 2011 and I have a better time each succeeding year. This year I drove my Galaxie down for the 2nd time in the 3 years that I’ve taken the car to the show. I was honored when I got an email a week ago that my car was chosen to be in the featured area of the show, so Wednesday evening I headed out for Texas after the day job. By 1:30 am I was rolling into Van Alstyne, TX to stay with my friends Jeff & Verna. They are awesome enough to always have a spare room for me to bunk in, as many of my north Texas friends have offered. By 7:30 we were rolling south to meet up with some other friends on the drive to Austin.

The 2015 Lonestar Roundup coverage is brought to by my friends at Owens Salvage in Wellington, TX. Bob has 65 acres with tons of cars that have the parts you need for your next project. Find them on Facebook here or on their website here.

2015 Detroit Autorama Part 2: Coverage Brought To You By The Stray Kat 500

2015 Detroit Autorama

I flew into Detroit Friday afternoon, quickly hooked up with a friend that gave me a ride to my hotel and about as quickly as humanly possible I made my way down to Cobo Center and met up with my buddy Chuck Leighton who was gracious enough to give me a weekend exhibitor’s pass to get me in to the show. Just another generous guy that I’ve been blessed to meet along my travels.

We started at what I’m going to call the West end of the building, the opposite end from the escalators that lead to the basement. The first floor of the building not only had the Great 8, but every other kind of car that you’d expect to see at an Autorama. In fact the first few rows of the show reminded me of the other Autorama events I’ve seen over the years. It wasn’t long before the Great 8 cars started to appear in my field of vision, plus incredible machinery by the likes of Jason Graham, Steve Cook (a Great 8 car) and so many more. This show was stepping up quickly as I walked the floor.
