Here are a few pics from what some of call the Joe Bailon show in Auburn, Ca. today. I did my best to get the trad stuff...there was quite a variety of styles at this show (to put it mildly). It definitely makes me appreciate shows like Billetproof, the Hot Rod Revolution, etc. Good times, though...saw some amazing cars, ran into some good friends, and enjoyed the 70 degree weather. I'd never seen the the Oz Cadillac in person until today...don't worry, I cleaned up the drool Yeah, that's a reflection of the gr*** in the paint! More on the way. Bryan
I'm bummed the pic of this '32 didn't come out...it was pretty cool. The owners were awesome...told me a story about a '23 coupe they drag race that I hope to see one of these days. Refreshing to see a flatty The parking lot was cool too More on the way. Bryan
i forgot this show was today.thanks for the pics 51chevysled..hot off the presses as always.it may not have been 70 degree weather here in oakland today,but at least i got some stuff done to the modified project this afternoon.thanks again for sharing.
The lighting was wreaking havoc on some of my pics, evident in the shot I got of this '35...too bad. The ones of the black duece in the second pic were even worse. Oh well. More still...
Looks like it was a great show, thanks for the pics. Got any more of the purple two tone 49-51 chevy?
My friend just flaked the top of this '53...the pic doesn't do it justice. I like old tractors... The Goldrush Merc... That's it...thanks for checking 'em out. Bryan
Great pics, you just need to watch out for backlighting, i.e. car is in the shade but the background is brightly lit. Pretty much impossible to overcome, either the background is blown out or the car is too dark, just need to watch what the camera regsiters its light readings from, or take the shot from a different angle if possible. Bright sunlight can be a real pain to shoot in sometimes, much better if its overcast (for photos).
Is this a clone of Dean Jeffries 'the g****vine' or the real deal? Always loved that car...would love to build a clone one day...
Definitely!...what was really killing me were the beams of light coming through the trees that threw off the auto-exposure settings on my camera. It was also about 1:30 when I started...I wonder if noon would have been easier? I was wondering the same thing, but I don't remember the owner's name. If it was a clone, it was well done although I don't know the details well enough to decipher between the two. Maybe someone on here knows the history of the car and it's current location? Bryan
Larry Watson built the g****vine, and that would have to be a clone. The only part that I know that survives of the original G****vine is a hubcap on another clone of the G****vine (The car with freeway scallops, and the heart upholstery).
This one had the heart interior too...I've seen that in a couple customs and wasn't sure why until now. Bryan
It's a clone of Larry Watson's "G****vine" and was built by Sacramento upholsterer Manuel Arteche maybe 10 years ago -- beautiful car. Manuel died a few years ago, and I don't know who owns the car now. There's a second clone of G****vine around, by the way, in a lighter shade of purple and with the G****vine scallops on it. Don't know who built it or where it is now.
