Art & Inspiration Traditional images that need no explanation.

You would tax my memory ! It was a Portland car, built by Gale Morris, and the picture was taken at the Tacoma show in 56, by Wayne Miller. Here is the skinny ! I met Gale at an Old Timers Picnic sometime back.

Hmmm, I wonder what would happen if I pressed this button?

 

Yes I’m serious, yes my name is Shirley and don’t call me Cha-Cha!!!

 

It's funny, she cashed in on the Cha-Cha, for some time, but later didn't want it used.

 

so do we know what happened to it?

 

IMO, this is a real Hot Rod.

 

The "Uncertain T"

 

A little crowded with 3 in the front.

 

Did they run out of electricity ?

 

Quite nice for the day.

 

"The Little Deuce Coupe"

 

He was just styling.

"Happy Days"

 

Billy Gibbons. Years ago, I was at the Bakersfield Re-union standing at the hamburger stand while standing next to Billy Gibbons. People were asking for his autograph, and he complied, pulling some pre-signed, autographed papers from his shirt pocket. I didn't ask for his autograph as I felt he was just there to enjoy himself as the rest of us nostalgia race fans were doing. I felt that I was doing the right thing by not bothering him while he was there.

 

Cool guy, I have been near him as well and also respected his space so he could enjoy the car show. There is a great documentary about ZZTop that he is driving this car all over Texas in and discussing the history of the band. Impressive car collection, phenomenal guitar player.

 

I built that kit, used the double Chevys, and 32 - 5 window body, painted Candy Oriental Purple.

 

Yep, I have this one also... I think you could build the "two thing" dragster with this kit..

 

A very young Don Garlits ?
