Looking forward to 2022
We are going to change it up!

After another dismal So Cal Car Show season, we are changing it up. Our classic car library is getting a transformation. The Ranchero and the Blue Q started as a showcase for the classic car show scene focusing on our daily driver. Over the years, the car shows became a mainstay on the site. Nevertheless, we are taking a new route with the virus's never-ending dominance.

Look for a new classic car focus going into 2022.
Happy Holidays.

 

Wishing all a happy 2022

It is going to be filled with new adventures.

We are missing out on The Pomona Swap Meet this weekend, but if you get a chance, head over to a great way to get your car show ride back in gear. We are showcasing a few of our favorites Hood Shots from past car shows. Looking forward to 2022 when car shows are back lining the streets.

1934 Rat Rod

Driving out to pick up our new pup, we noticed a Ranchero in the driveway last year. Instantly we fell in love with our new Jack Russell Terrier and the Ranchero. Contacting the family about an addition to our family, this Rat Rod came into play. Not yet, 17 Lane has the skills for the classics. Along with this rat rod, he picked up a 1949 Farmall tractor to add to his collection. His passion is buying, fixing, and selling dirt bikes, an entrepreneur in the making. Thanks, Lane, for adding this classic to our collection.

We are in a no-car show time frame leaving a void of walking down the path to see the beauty of the ride through photography. So this week, we will take a look at some of the majestic beauties we have accumulated over the years, starting with September Car Notes.
