History What us trad rodders were doing in the 70's...

Canadian Street Rod Nationals circa the 70s

 

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

 

I may be only one of a few, but I like it..

 

What I really dig is those tailights!

 

Everything had its ass up in the air in the 70's...

 

Correction....
I don't think you got around to all of the neighborhoods back then.

.

 

That might be the coolest Nomad I've ever seen.

 

damn i like everything in the driveway!!! but that nomad is hot!!

 

Just outside of Radiator Springs...

Pierre Lorraine's T coupe!!
I got a ride in it at the 1979 CANATS in Ottawa. I was a pimply-faced 16 year old who fell in love with his car when I saw it in Street Rodder. I approached him at the show and asked if he'd take me for a short ride...ended up cruising all over the city for an hour or two.

 

you must have been lucky ,,,kicking her out for you ,,,

 

I don't know if its just me but the 18 to 25 year old women in the 70s look so much better than the same age group of what is now walking in 2012. Does anybody else agree.

 

I agree I have never liked hippies but I have always liked hippy chicks.

 

Yea, I totally agree!

 

With headers and Thrush Mufflers!!!

 

Yea... me too... So I went out and got me one, the "peace sign, mag wheels & 4 on the floor" kinda girl.. Woman at our age... Makes this whole car thing so very easy...

 

I have a couple of pics of this car from the same show...but I was a pimply faced 14 yr old and didnt get a drive in it...didnt he have a matching little trailer too? I was only there Fri for the registration but saw a bunch of cool cars, my fav was the straight axle candy red 55 Nomad !

 

Well, yeah, they weren't all 100 pounds overweight and covered in tattoos that look like grease stains back then.

 

I got one word for ya, "speed."

 

Thats for sure.....it kept the 70's buzzing along!

 

The legitimate pharmaceutical companies were pumping those thing out in the millions, probably billions...crosstops, mini-whites, 4-ways.

A survivor,... I'd have to trash those wheels.
.

 

Don't forget, the fast food nation was still young too. SUPER SIZE ME. I have some 200s Daisies (15x10 deep) and 14x6 that belong on that MOPAR survivor.

 

.
Right On slammed!
Damn Perfect wheels, I'd add Pos-A-Trac tires, but, no way would I subtract that aged 70s patina.
