Hot Rods Tired of homogenized hotrods

This one is still around, ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ still has the chrome frame and clear hood. Last time I saw it was at the Oakland CA. museum. It was still owned by the original builder, but that was many years ago. The Oakland Museum had a great display of historic Hotrods, but that was somewhere around 29 years ago. The Men and Machines of California's Car Culture. is what it was called, and it was outstanding. https://patganahl.com/2019/05/27/quick-pics/

...Thanks for sharing that @Fat ASS Whitewalls...It did get noticed...there was a book published by him based on that Event at the Museum it seems and he also ran a printing company on top of being known for his mechanical genious. He built the roadster when he was 18... Unfortunately he is not with us anymore but it is always nice to connect the dots and remember them...

The late Hamber @steel rebel knew him well it seems...see link below...

I went to the show at the Oakland Museum. a great collection of historic hot rods. I was also able to attend the 50th Oakland Roadster Show in San Francisco. That is where I met Marty Strode and he sold my 15 year old son a McCulloch for his Stude wagon. Good times!

 

I too was at the 50th. How I wish I could have made the75th. Being in Missouri and other personal reasons kept that from happening. That will be a regret the rest of my life. We probably bumped into each other in the crowd.

 

If you were in that area from '59-'72 and attended car shows and racing from 1/4 midgets to Drags and flat track we bumped into each other!
