Do Classic Cars find you?

Always for the want of a Ranchero.

My brother’s car was a black, deluxe model with bucket seats. So for ten years, pinned on a bulletin board in my office were the exact dimensions of a ‘65 Ranchero, reminding me that someday I would find the perfect car and make it mine.

Check out the the story line for the Ranchero

The making of a BBQ

Why are you following me?

Saw the trailer at a car show and passed on it, but the thought of what could be would not let go.

The Perfect Fit

Jack’s Auto Body gave this ride the ghost flames needed for the final finish.

Welcome to the new format

We are changing it up!

Going with a larger page format so the classic can shine. Unfortunately not all photos made the transition so you will not be able to access, The Grand Nationals, Cruisin’ for a Cure or Fabulous Fords Forever car shows. This minor challenge gives us the 2019 New Year goal to re-focus on past shows, so please click around and enjoy the new format and remember that a great car show season is heading into 2019.

Happy New Year

Grand Nationals always showcase a little paint with the lowriders.
Looking forward to this years show.
