Here you greaser!
I am so jealous of you.
You deserve every bit of it.


Just kidding. It’s copyrighted.

 

@Ryan -

In my humble {& very biased} opinion, your initial thought of finding a high resolution shot of the "Aloha Land {chopped & channeled Deuce 5wd} Coupe" is probably the best idea:

​

... that said, I believe the Petersen archives have some high rez images Robert 'Longie' Gandall's Channeled Deuce Roadster:

​

 

Very interesting!!

 

Issues yes, scanner no, so I'll be sending you my money again in November lol.

 

Another option would be to get @Chris Casny (now living on Maui) to do a photo shoot of his very traditional '29 Hiboy Roadster and/or '40 Merc:

all images "stolen" from Casny's Instagram feed

These two of Haruo Morishige's '32 on Getty Images are pretty dang cool.

FYI ... The Petersen archives include several HIGH REZ images from the photo shoot of Morishige's channeled Deuce Roadster that appeared in the October 1959 issue of HOT ROD Magazine.

UPDATE #2: Click HERE for Ed Moon's photos of Gene Uyesugi's channeled Deuce roadster (also shot at Iolani Palace).

 

not for contest - just think that it is Cool

 

Got this at a yard sale. Think its probably SoCal but it covers the surfer/hoodlum angle IMO. And its copyrighted so that is an issue. Credit to the copyright holder and if there is a problem with this posting please delete.

My 1937 phaeton from Honolulu now in Socal

 

Does this look familiar?

 

The man who built that car passed last year he was good guy .

Thanks Don Blanding

 

May not have been built in Aloha Land, But this one gets my vote! You could probably message the owner and ask him real nice to forward you some hires pics of it. I bet he has some good ones in his files somewhere

 

Isamu Okuda built his channeled Model A Roadster in Honolulu between 1952 & 1954.

Here it is in the late '60s or early '70s:

... and here it is circa 2017:
