Shade Street Rod and Custom Show

There's a small rod shop in Victoria Va. Run by an excellent fabricator named Mike Prather. About twice a year he promotes a car show in front of his shop. Free entry, no admission he pays for everything out of his pocket. Free food, dash plaques, free drinks. Mike loves old cars and loves to see rodders get together and party. About 50 cars showed for last weekends show.
The black 4 door is mu 40 Studebaker and the stake body truck is a 36 International.

.........The 41 Plymouth belongs to my friend Danny, stock running gear but he drives it everywhere without worry

..........Even had a swap meet area. $1 Ford 2dr with s10 frame. $2950

.............47 Desoto with an early hemi.

................brown 1937 Ford pickup with 38 Dodge grille. I thought the stitching in the rear fender was cool and original.

.....................

great pics. thanks for posting.

I enjoy small shows like that. You get to visit rather than run around trying to take it all in. I'll bet that Plymmie sounds good with the duals on the flathead six.

Thanks for sharing!

I've never seen a '64 SS without the side trim before. (My parents have bought their second '64 SS when I was about 7 and still have it). I don't much care for that red 64. To each their own. Some way different stuff than I'm used to seeing!

Good little show Fuzz. How long have you had the Studebaker?

It's not an SS, just an emblem that he bought at some Chevy after market store.

About a year. You remember "Roddin Ron"? It was his but I bought it when he made me a deal I couldn't refuse. Had to rewire and put my motor/trans in it. Some stuff to make it my own!!
