Is the straight 8 buick a rear steer car? Looks like a lot of Foose specials.

Don, someone on the hamb said earlier that it IS a rear steer vehicle.

Evidently the builder enjoys making something unusual, even if not all

so practical. Sure looks cool, though.

I wonder which cars won the top prizes....

I didn't get to go to the show. Photos were posted by Cruis'news magazine.

Winner of this year's Ridler Award was this 1956 Ford convertible, owned

by a man from Sapulpa, OK. It may not look like it, but one article said

the car is pie sectioned from rear to front (with the front cut the most).

Not everyone may like it, but (as usual) a lot of money and work went

into the car

I think the Bi-Five Fords are becoming a welcome alternative to the Tri-Five Chevys. How many ways can you make one special. The 283 Chevys blew the doors off the Y-Blocks back in the day, but now, with modern power, the times, they are a changin. And,...... I think they are prettier cars.

Here's mine

Good looking wagon, Bill.

I went to the show.. a lot of beautiful, cool cars, but a lot of " just because you can, doesn't mean you should", too.

[mrwrstory]

Yeah,....Havin a lot of money doesn't mean you got good "taste"!

Bill,

That is a nice wagon! Understated, yet very crisp, and interesting updating cues. Plus I like wagons, particularly 2 door ones.

I've told my wife that if we ever hit the lottery, I will buy a Caddy CTS-V wagon with a 6 speed! Zoom, zoom!
