Event Coverage My Photos from the Way Cool 2014 Custom Car Revival

Thanks Ulu. Duncan and Herb - you both have good ideas for a show at Dr. Dave's.

Here is someone's stellar 1957 Ford.

 

Thanks for the pics mate, everyone is a ripper
Rod

 

You're very welcome, Rod! Thanks for the comments and checking out the thread.

I was at NSRA today so not much got one on the CCR pictures, but I will be back on it tomorrow.

Here is someone's 1949-50 Merc with a very different front fender and headlight treatment.

 

The Chevy headlight treatment is pretty good! I normally don't think the horizontal bar grille treatments work so well. These cars would be much more familiar with bold chrome dentures.

It's a funny thing, but no matter how straight these things look in plan or dead on, from some angle they won't look parallel, and I think the rounded and rolled grille openings lend some adverse optical illusion even to that.

Now this orange job looks near-perfect from this angle.

 

Thanks Ulu.

Doug Reed's 1949 Oldsmobile.

 

Great pictures! See you in Salina at the KKOA show.

 

Thanks very much ArtsWork - Looking forward to KKOA too.

Dave Conrad's 1936 Ford

 

Hi Dan,

Great pictures!!! Love them!!!
1936 is Dave Conrad from St. Louis MO

Are you going to Salina, KS?

 

Thanks for that info baby loves chrome and thanks for your comments. I am definitely going to Salina unless something unforeseen happens.

 

Dan,
There was actually 12 awards given out. My club "The Rodsters of Northern Indiana" gave our club pick to Dave Conrad and his 36 3 window. I am the one that presented the award on behalf of my club.
Thanks
Matt

 

Matt, what was the name of your award...I got that list directly from Kevin...and I will add it to the list of the CCR coverage on Rod Authority...

Thanx,
R-

 

I believe it was just club pic. Our award was a 56 mercury 4 bar lancer cap with a spotlight attached to it and pinstriped. I believe all it said was Rodsters choice 2014. Rob Gerring is also a member of the Rodsters. He had the red 40 ford 3 window and Rex McCreary had the dark blue 36 ford 3 window.My car is still in the building stage, but will be there next year. Incidently, I donated the hubcap and spotlight from my own stash.
Matt

 

Thanks for the update on awards and such Matt and Roger.

Here's the most interesting point I can make.
Typically, when participants pick a "top car", I'd always expect a handful of cars to have a lot of votes.

Not at this show! Too many nice cars!

We had over 60 cars with multiple votes. That's incredible and quite telling of the wonderful quality of the cars that were in attendance. Crazy, eh?"

Thank you Kevin for this and the wonderful event!

 

I wonder how many people didn`t vote, I know me and my dad didn`t, Only one vote per registered car. Like Dan said, way to many cool cars to pick just one.

 

I didn't vote because I could only narrow it down to only 15 on my list... I was thrilled to see the
'36 win an award. Hopefully it will be at Salina, I'd love to take some more pictures. The interior
was just as kool as the exterior.

 

What great pic's. Is there a web site fir the show? I would like to make certain I attend next year.

 

Thank you 1947vert. The website for it is http://www.customcarrevival.com/
