2009 Detroit Autorama Post #9

Wow! Larry from Singlefinger Garage (a member of www.hubgarage.com) had an AWESOME display in Detroit. His booth looked like an old service station.

This kool little roadster was in the Singlefinger display area.


This little traditional hot rod was nicknamed, "Orange Crush".

Who says you have to have a "big buck" paint job to be kool?!?!

Being a Middle School principal, I really liked the back glass in this rod.

2009 Detroit Autorama Post #8

Well, 9 days into my 2009 Detroit Autorama postings and I'm FINALLY in the basement. This Impala Wagon was one of my wife's favorites. You can see several of the Road Devils Car Club members standing behind it.
I really like these scallops. This might be an option for me to "fix" some of the imperfections in the paint on my '50 without having to repaint the whole car.

Dagnabbit! Bumped while taking a picture again! Love the scallops, wide whites and Astro Supremes!
I believe the owner of this sweet little t-bucket is also a member of the Hub Garage. If you're not a member yet...what are you waiting for? Check it out at www.hubgarage.com

2009 Detroit Autorama Post #7

Still posting pictures from "upstairs" at the Cobo Center in Detroit, Michigan. I just noticed that I am at 70% of my alloted space on Blogger. Does anyone know what happens when you run out of "free space"? At this rate, I may run out before summertime....not kool.
Well, if you're over 35 years old you probably recognize this show car. "Ala Kart" won several best of shows in its day. Seems like there has been a trend in the last few years for guys to find these old cars and restore them to their original "glory".

Wow....that's really all I can say about this custom Thunderbird.

If Detroit still built them like this....they wouldn't need a "bailout".

Another kool show car built in the '60s.
