Event Coverage Viva Las Vargas? The Pin-ups, Hop ups & Dressed ups of Vegas!

Vargas? Not Vegas? What better way to alert you to all of the pin-ups that roamed the Viva Las Vegas car show last weekend?

Those that have been following my thread on the board about our road trip from D/FW to VLV will surely recognize some of the pictures posted here.

But, like I said in that thread, I had way too many pictures to post on that thread alone. I wanted to separate them out because not everybody might not follow a road trip that might otherwise want to see Viva pics.

I gave a lot of thought as to what order to best present the pictures here on the H.A.M.B. and I decided that the best way was to present them in the order that I took them. Many of the pics were taken on Friday, the day before the show with the rest taken on Saturday, the day of the car show itself. So, this will be presented as though you followed me around, looking over my shoulder for the two days that I was there. I hope you enjoy!

Here's what I saw on Friday.

 

Nice photography

 

I hope all of you that chopped the hell out of your A models saved the cut outs.......
I don't know how you can drive them

 

He mounted speakers in his jerry cans.

 

Nice. Hope to go one day.

 

Good pics! Even saw one of my pile in there! Thanks!

 

Great pics!

 

Great Pictures, thanks for posting them.

 

Some real nice stuff there. But I see that the Rat Crap is still alive and well too.

 

Next up, Saturday! The day of the car show!

 

Nice pics, thanks for the stroll around the show. Spent so much time at the gate, didnt get to wander around too much. BTW, you're roadtrip thread was cool too !

Johnnie.

 

I used to hear it from the original guys now i think the same thing when i see an extreme shit box!!

 

thanks for the pics I have to do that show someday even if I have to hop a plane and fly out

 

Awesome!

 

Excellent pics. Lots of nice cars, Thanks !!

 

On Saturday, one of the first vehicles that I saw was this '60 Ford convert ad car.



And then a Barris built hearse. Much different than the Munster Mobile!



Of course, there was the Acme Speed Shop van!





And then I saw this!









And then a bunch more vehicles!







And from that point on, it was pretty much whatever caught my eye!

 

Elvis was there to marry people!





















Multitasking?



Nice Cadillac but the backseat upholstery needed something!

 

Great job on the photos! Thanks.

 

great show, hopefully next year my little '34 will make it over there.

Awesome pictures, but I wonder what's going on with these two pictures. Have we reached the "Guide-Coat" point in the paint evolutionary chain?





The first one must be the mechanic's car.

 

Great pics

 

This was "smoked" with a torch, as was coverend in a thread here a couple weeks ago. The whole interior was done, all the garnishes, and the dash.
