When I first saw the Bob Drake ford on the cover of his catalog I thought it was a bad idea. I see this a trend. After looking closely that truck had a "hemi" I guess they are making a mockery of over restored cars by making the mechanics (which is the most important thing) sound and the body like a beater. I think I like that "Plymouth high boy" I would reallu like to build one like that however the wife would have me committed:mad: thinking that I finally lost the last two marbles that I have. Funny how life imitates art:cool: Don I know you fit right in, being a mad man and all:eek:

I saw a few of these cars heading back up to Ky. Mainly old trucks and a sharp looking Demon. Some would look better with some paint and a little body work. Just my opinion..

That was probably a 1951 model Stude.

Some unusual creations there for shore.

Did Chance drive his 49 woody wagon?

Chance did drive his woody

The Hudson would have to get my vote. Looks like it was a good show with quite a variety. Thanks, Don.

There were actually 3 hudsons there but I only pictured two of them. The black one parked near me belongs to my friend Mark Hudson. It has a 308 Hudson flathead with dual exhaust and a big 4bbl carburetor.

Tattoos are a requirement to fit in with most of this crowd. I am not quite that much of a madman.

How can you lose something (marbles) that you dont have:rolleyes:

John;

You should have attended the show. It was huge. There was also a Mopar show on the other side of the fair grounds. Lisa and I spent 8 hours at this show and I never did make it over to look at the Mopar show. It was mostly muscle cars.

I met the owner of this Plymouth a couple years ago at another show. I told him about my George Asche setup. He is now running a George Asche set of manifolds and carburetors. He also just got an Asche overdrive but has not yet installed it.

Those were some of the most interesting pics I've seen in a long time, Don. Normally, those "rat rods" leave me cold but those showed alot of imagination.

Thanks...I enjoyed those.

Camel Towing :eek::P:D:)

Don,

You must really like that green 51/52 Plymouth 2 door hardtop. You have it in several pictures.:D

One nice thing about an unpainted rat rod. You don't have to worry about someone scratching it, or a rock chipping the paint.:D From the looks of them though, I think a lot of those are just cars that people are building and not finished yet. I'd guess from the looks that a lot of those will someday be painted.

I like 59 Chevy's, but I don't think I like that truck with the 59 Chevy bed in the rear.

These two years are quite similar arn't they. I look for the hood ornament and hood medalion. You can see in the attached photos the differences between the years.

Also notice the name plate on the front fender. 51 has block letters and 52 a script. Also a 52 belvedere would have a 2tone moulding flowing down the 1/4. 51 belvederes were 2tone with just the roof.
