Customs...Early Paso

I haven't posted in awhile and wanted to show some Customs. I took these photos at Paso Robles in 1984. These were exciting times because customs were just starting to make a comeback.....Enjoy

 

Thanks for sharing...My Paso memories didn't start until '93.

Here are a few more......




The Old A&W


A&W


Can you name these Custom Legends?

 

Is that the Jade Idol ? ...remember trying to fog the paint on an AMT kit like that using the little spray can . Always liked that custom .

T

 

Yes it is , it had been restored at that point..

 

Kool - Thanks. Looks at the skinny legs on Winfield next to Roth - now others can finish naming the "Who's Who" in this group

 

I know some..........

Top row, second from the left is Joe Bailon, and to his right is **** Dean. Bottom row left is Frank DeRosa. I know more, but I'll give someone else a shot. Paso sure did look quiet in these photos compared to how it got up until the end. It must have been great to be there in the "early days"..........E

 

Back row: Rod Powell, Joe Bailon, **** Dean, Roth, Winfield
Seated: Frank DaRosa, Bill Cushenberry,Joe Wilhelm(?)?,??

 

wow. Great photos!!!

 

This is when it was all about the cars not "kulture".

 

Well said, Jeff. Very true..........E

 

Really great... Thanks for sharing these Ron.

Yep... just about the cars back then. love it.

 

Nice. My 1984 didn't have anything nearly that cool.

 

Last guy on the bottom......Neil Emory (Valley Customs)

 

R&C RON where was the show held in '84, Sherwood Park?
.
.

 

Yes , First year at Sherwood Park.

 

What year did they move it to the downtown location?
.
.

 

In 1992 the show was moved downtown and the official Fri. night Cruise was started.

 

Thank you for the replies Ron...

I always thought the first year was at Lake Nacimiento.

 

Jeff, you are right,I meant 1984 was the first year at Sherwood....1982-Lake Nacimento ,1983-Casa de Fruita , 1984-1991-Sherwood Park.

 

Anyone attend the new show on Labor day weekend? Friday night cruise, Saturday show, Sunday BBQ.

 

I think this thread is about the WCK early days of Paso,...

Here's the orange car at 2008 Spokane Goodguys.
I thought the story was that Gene Winfield was involved with this car,
but had been repainted.
Not sure if it sold that weekend or not.

 

Kinda' looks more like the R&C Dream Truck...

.

You would be correct,
it was johns truck i saw back when though, just not this one. thx for the 80's vintage shots

 

Cool shots of days gone by. I might have to look up some of my old photos!

 

great photos ron, thanks for posting.

 

This car is credited to **** Dean.
