Event Coverage Gasser on Woodward

Seen this crusing Woodward last Saturday afternoon.

 

That actuallly makes a pretty nice g***er or street freak, which ever term you prefer. There is a Mercury Comet hardtop like that sitting behind a business near us and for years we have periodically stopped to ask if it might be for sale. The answer is always the same, "No, going to build it some day", and we have seen it go from really clean to just so so now.

Saw that one too, looked killer!

 

Pretty neat lookin! You don't see that body style made into g***ers that often.

 

i like it!!! ive loved the g***ers since i was old enough to know what cars were. and have never built on. i know g***ers do not need a straight aXLE TO BE A G***ER, but i want to build one strraight axle 55 chevy and a 41 willys before i go. gotta get started now!!!!!got both the cars but now no money lol

 

I saw that one! Not really a g***er, but I loved the Thunderbolt in the pic below. My first time at Woodward, but definitely won't be my last!

You guys are right,more of a street freak than a g***er.Still cool to see on the street though.This was my 4th year,wouldn't miss August in Michigan for nothing.Here's one a little more traditional for ya.

 

Keep seeing the term "street freak", explain please.

Street Freak Cars are so Cool ! I wish we would see more being built once again.

 

Thanks, Just what i was thinkin. Kinda prefer the lower look. Rear tires tucked or radiused fenders and leaves myself. I think that was the more traditional look before ladder bars.

 

dream cruise stated 18 years ago when the second you pulled a nice car out on woodward ... you got pulled over

today every weekend woodward is alive again but sadly the cruise has become too comercial!!!
beer tents/pay to park/,mini vans/ *****s ect.

the newest in the detroit are is the hines park cruise where they close the park and really try to keep the mini vans out check out this video

Nice!...

 

3 minutes from my house and I missed it!..(insert a smiley getting a beating here)..

 

Why wouldn't the thunderbolt be a g***er? Wouldn't it have competed in gas cl***?

 

'Duh, I was having a "brain fart" when I wrote that. Yeah, the T-bolt would compete in gas cl***. I was trying to say it wasn't the "straight-axle, nose-high, ladderbar "g***er" look that the OP was showing in the pic he posted.

Love the willys

 

t bolts would have run super stock.

 

Ha! Ok I'm always learning!

Willys? You mean this one? That's a 1940 Ford coupe. Common mistake.

 

I seen this 36 Ford on Woodward, is it an old rod or a new /old recreation?

 

This looks really cool.Can you give some sort of directions on how to get there?
Thanks....Giz'

 

It crosses Telegraph, south of I-96
