Went to Detroit's Autorama today. Seen lots of cookie cutter cars but a few stood out. I will post a few pics if you guys like.

Grumpy

nuther

cool as boat

more

yeah thats me on the bike. Should a had my boots on.

Some, you just look right on that bike...

No disrespect, but the hell w/Grumpy-check out the lt green tank top behind him...Yeah, baby !!<Grin> Seriously-Great shots, there, Dave !! One I couldn't figger out-the 1st one-izzat a Rambler wagon ? Was this event held in Cobo Hall? -Sandy G.

I agree, only as far as the softail goes.

I don't see Dave on a proper rigid - he needs the rear suspension for a comfy ride. Other than that, straight old school - front spoke wheel, no front brake, panhead or knucklehead motor, jockey shift, kick start, and ape hangers. I like the blue, but with pearl pinstriping, and a tank with custom pearl flames on it. Add a big, angled sissy bar on the rear, yeah.

Yeah, that's what I see.

Cheers,
Russ

Nah Rigids ain't really for me. That bike was about 2 sizes to small for me. Now a springer is what I lusted for since they made then available again but I would gladly settle for a Dresser.

Sandy.

IIRC the first pic was a 60 rambler wagon. pic does not do it justice.

Here's a couple more

One of Barris and one of his creations.

another

One for PunkerX

Great pics,Grump! Sandy,that's Grump's daughter you are referring too!!

I am not allowed to ride a cycle on PEI. Apparently I take the corners on 2 wheels :rofl:

Alan

One from that TV show

now this is the kind of stuff i dig

These are cool as hell !

Awww, man, that Jeep is SWEEEET !!-Sandy G.

One if not the sweetest Caddys ive ever seen.

Had to take another of it.

Hey, where's the Pink Miata pics????

simply amazing artwork

Pink an Fuchsia seem to be coming back in style judging by how many cars and trucks were wearing it. Sorry no Miata's

Now this Kaiser caught my attention.

Love that Breedlove AMX!

Great pics, Grumpy. Thanks! :thmbsp:

What was that Cad, a '51,'52, or '53? They were all extremely voluptuous cars-heard 'em described once as looking like "fat girls in strapless gowns". Kinda unkind, but, yeah, that's about right. I always loved the 1954-56 models. They just always said "CADILLAC"-especially the '56 Sedan De Ville. The '57-58 models looked like aberrations,and then we get back to the "Screw you, I have money & I'll flaunt it" look of the '59-'60 models. -Sandy G.

Cant remember since all the cars kind of blurred into one by the end. I think it was a 52 but maybe it was newer..

Everywhere this one goes its the show favorite. A very emotional truck and very hard to get near.

Pictures or video do this truck no justice.

GREAT pixs !!

Would like to see the truck in person. Very cool artwork.

Is that Punkers car? I know he had some like it.

Isn't the Kaiser a Darrin? Or something like that?

Our local show is in a month or so. Getting the hot rod fever again!

I agree with the no front brake, why in the world they spend $5k manufacturing one off billet front wheel then hiding the with ugly front brakes is beyond me. As a matter of fact I hate any cables showing as well, the english dude Russel Mitchell at Exile cycles makes bikes that have no cables showing anywhere and it looks sweet as hell. Indian Larry (RIP) used to make no front brake ones too. Seeing big ass brake and clutch cables makes a motorcycle look like my sons 18 speed mountain bike.

Nope that was just a Cuda for punker. His was black and a real TA. I think its a Kaiser but forgot to shoot the name plate as I like to so i can remember.

Warm weather is still a little ways off here but i can't wait.

Grumpy, yes it's a Kaiser, buy I think the body was made by Devlin, but not sure. The doors slide back into the body.

Barris is still making customs! That one is typical Barris.

CORRECTION It's a Darrin

This is a little more towards my styling.

... Sorry no Miata's

Ok I'll help you out here. This was at last weekends show here in San Antonio. It belongs to a member of our Miata club and is street driven. The paint is some trick fusion stuff with prisms in the mix that refract light, so it changes color depending on how light hits it. Also that supercharger is not factory. :naughty:

and the engine

Sweet looking car ! I think thats a Ford color they used on Mustangs. Very expensive stuff !

It was a Kaiser Darrin, designed by "Dutch" Darrin, who was a 1940s-50s customising designer. The doors that slid back into the fenders were VERY Hot stuff-even if they weren't entirely practical.-Sandy G.

That Breedlove AMX is particularly sweet........... :yes:

Maaannn!!...how come they cant make cars like the older ones anymore...better styling...thicker metal...ect!!!...

I love that AMX 400...that is just 'way too sweet'!!!!!

That Breedlove AMX is particularly sweet........... :yes:

(in post #22) Love that Breedlove AMX!

tentoze, apparently we are like-minded about cars, too. :thmbsp:

...or is it just the colour RED! :lmao:

Did they announce who won the Riddler yet?

I don't think they do that until today after all the votes have been placed.

tentoze, apparently we are like-minded about cars, too. :thmbsp:

I'm just wondering why they didn't sell a chit-load of those AMX's. I guess they never made very many, so they didn't sell very many. Sure was a nicer looking car than the Javelin IMO. And the later Javelins, fuggeddaboutit....

Sweet looking car ! I think thats a Ford color they used on Mustangs. Very expensive stuff !

I'll say it is! $300 a pint.

So where's all the 32 Deuce's and T Buckets?

That's more my style... :D

Scott

Deuce's, T's and Shoeboxes where everywhere. I usually don't shoot their pics or i end up with nothing but them.

One more of the bikes tho not my style.

Did Chip Foose have a car entered in the Riddler this year? On that "Rides" show on TLC he was working on a car for the Riddler but in the end decided to wait till the next Riddler to enter it, I wonder if this years is the Riddler he was entering or skipping????

Did Foose build the Sic Fish or was that Troy P ? If it was Foose then the silver Cuda would have prolly been his entry.

From Street rodder dot com:

Ken Reister of Littleton, Colorado with his Chip Foose designed and built 1936 Ford roadster proved to much for the competition and, hence, was awarded the 2005 Don Ridler Memorial Award for the shows best vehicle, first time shown. Congratulations are in order for Ken, Chip and the rest of the crew that brought this outstanding roadster to “life.”

This car is amazing. Click here and scroll down
