Event Coverage The 2025 Lonestar Round Up

Oh man, that car is so good! Texas car, too (DFW) and owned by some great folks, Christina and Kevin.

 

Most excellent! I’ve said it before. There is something about B&W photos that is more raw, more artistic than color photos. You should continue doing what you’re doing, let the gang post the color photos of all the other cars. The LSRU is on the bucket list.

Yeah the Plymouth really is a stunner I hadn’t figured out what it was until now. At first I thought it was a shoebox then a kaiser.
Plymouth what a killer custom

 

I had the same thought process.
I'm not well versed in Mopars, and I'm less familiar the older they are. Most strike me as being a little awkward compared to their GM and FoMoCo contemporaries, but that one (and its stock origin, after I Googled) is killer. Wish I had a chance to study it more. I feel like Saturday went by in a flash.

 

My Uncle had one. Can't wait to show this to my cousin.

 

I have to disagree, I would say your images are museum quality. I have been to many a museum exhibit looking at black and white images of famous photographers, and you have all the qualities of those exhibits. Except for the modern dress you mostly photographed the beautiful machines finding the perfect angle, depth of field and eliminating background clutter.

I especially liked the engine turned floats you caught on the four carb photo.

 

The LSRU had more traditional hotrod parts than Pate! Great swap meet, lots of nice folks, lots of beautiful colors like this :

 

this T was very very purple. This camera does not show the correct color

 

. Several Lincolns

 

Some very pretty blues

 

More blue

 

This one looks like Rolfs coupe

 

Lots of red

 

Rosie the Riviter and women dressed as the 40s and 50s

 

lots of 49-51 Fords

 

more 49-51

 

. Fancy paint. Lots of flakes/sparkles but this phone didn't pick them up well

 

nice T

 

lots of black and several nice Harleys

 

I would never paint a car black/white and definitely not a fishing lure two tone BUT this guy pulled it off and looked real good

 

big trucks

 

Lots of Model As

 

I uploaded all mine here:

Great coverage. Like I say every year, I am going next year since it's been over 10 years since the last time I went.

 

^^ they said about 2000 cars. Its worth the trip

 

I've got to say that I really enjoy the art of great black and white photos. Great work and attention to detail and fantastic choices.

I may have to hunt down some film for the Pentax and play a bit.

Roundup is still the bucket list road trip event for the 48 when it gets done or at least road trip worthy. One of my wife's sisters lives out SW west of you in the cedar breaks on divide P*** and the other lives near Waco.

 

Knocked my socks off.
