Hot Rods They are everywhere!

Went on a little few day vacation to visit the snowbird in-laws down in Mesa Az. Living in a cold climate you rarely see an old hotrod in the winter. Down there they are everywhere and there’s a carshow in parking lots in just about every suburb. This was just a few. View attachment 4593266

 

Heck of a lot better than going to some beach or resort.

 

Hi. Some nice rides at that one. Jimmie

 

One of the pluses in living in a area were we don't see a lot of bitterly cold and snow, thanks for taking the time to share. HRP

 

Cool, thanks for sharing!

 

That's refreshing, Thanks!

 

Looking at the pics sort of takes the chill out of these old bones . Gives me hope the car season is getting close. Appreciate your efforts here .

 

...love those shoeboxes...

 

Hang on boys and gals.......just a few more months.........

 

Winter in Wisconsin...the best seven months out of the year!

 

That looked like one of the Bell Road car shows

 

Only good thing about the cold here is it gives you time to work on the car without feeling you are missing on driving it.

 

One was at an old Bashasa parking lot in Mesa and one was at a shopping center/Mc Donald’s parking lot in Scottsdale.

 

We also went up to the little town of Superior az. Took a picture of Main Street, if the new car wasn’t in it you would have thought it was the 1940/50s.(somebody photo shop it)

 

I really like that Graham with the front skirts.

 

I did also. Although I thought it would have looked really kool with the windshield pillars cut off and some roadster windshield Stantons used.

 

Thanks for sharing. I needed that.

 

Good stuff. Keeps blood flowing.

 

That is a nice looking pair of Shoes!

 

You mean it's still winter in some places?

 

From what I gather summer in Arizona is building season because it’s to damn hot out to have any fun. So in the winter it’s cool enough to get out. Thanks for the photos!

 

Here are some links to warm you up - enjoy - you may see a pickup that looks familiar.

You can tell the SNOWBIRDS in those vids... They are the ones wearing shorts and T's

 

Hello,
Nice story about the Arizona folks... and the car shows. Your photo of Superior looks pretty nice. I edited it to give it a better composition and keep the boo birds away. (and to get rid of the giant dinosaur trying to attack the town... ha!)

Currently, we on the coast are having a few days of rain, a few days of sun and back to rain. It is all headed East to Arizona and the Southwest.

 

Waaaaaaay too hot for me during anything but winter in Mesa. I want a little snow on the ground during the peak of winter......looking towards the hills in AZ for me.

 

My kind of spring break!

 

Thanks for the photoshop work!! That picture looks like the forties for sure!

 

...They are everywhere...They are indeed but some are Hotrod Snowbirds...thanks for sharing those...and there is a hidden Jewell in those Shark Nosed Deco Machines you just have to play with them a little...
