CAN YOU GUESS ?

Great pics Captain. I don't see any cry baby dolls, billet, rust, or rockabillys.

Very nice pix. Okay here's my guess, no T buckets, no Billet, no Turquoise paint with Mauve scallops, no flat tire look, no bags, a lot of '34 - '40s coupes, none of those wierd lookin' things that I guess are supposed to be some likeness of a '30s coupe. None of those dolls leanin' on the front bumpers, no rat rods, and I didn't see 100 '32 roadsters that look just alike except for differnt tires and wheels.

Nice pics...I don't see any Hooters girls handing out calenders or people sitting in lawn chairs behind the cars making the place look like a KOA camp ground

My fav!

Capt,
That *is* a flash back!!! My fav is the '38 Ford panel. I passed on a really nice one once & have regretted it every since! Thanks for sharing!!!

There were a couple of primered cars. Does that count? Thank god the rectangular headlights are gone, unless, of course, you have them on your ride, then cool!

Joe, I've got magazines from the 50's with cars that have red wheels and white walls proudly displayed. I think the main wheels of choice for a street rod during the late 70's/early 80's were chrome spokes. 1983 was part of a time period soon to end now known as the resto-rod era.

That makes sense, I was just pointing out the lack of them in the pics. I'll be content as long as the clothing styles from the pics don't come back . Oh yeah, I was born in 1984, I don't make anyone feel old do I?

Thanks for that

Wow, what a story, I am happy and sad at the same time.

Cool story and great photos Captain. I can't get over that last pic with the tree growing up through the radiator cap hole in the grill shell.

 

[joehalford01]
