this kid was more interested in checking out the drive in window tray than the hot rod!

8:39 PM

ahihi

she was checking out the coke, the ketchup, etc. She's never going to know a drive up diner, never going to have a car hop put the tray holder on her window. Those days are gone.

cool car rear fenders and bumper

more cool and unique stuff I photographed at Viva Las Vegas

9:46 PM

ahihi

isn't it ironic that a license plate touting the "Colorful" nature of it's state, should be so drab?

the right rims, set the car off just right

I don't think I've seen artillery wheels on a truck before

Babys 47, not a typical hot rod

This is one of the best issues in a while if you dig cool cars.

Hot Rod features the Chisenhall '36 coupe... well, I scooped them finally. I posted it at the American Street Car Challenge/ Run to the Coast at Tustin

But get the new Hot Rod magazine for the story and photos they have. Me? I just take the photos, not the interviews. I didn't know that this car belongs to the family son of Vintage Air.

Rickmann's daily driver Corvette, pinstriped and scalloped by Von Dutch

11:05 AM

ahihi

that is classy.

Because he was the photographer for Hot Rod Magazine, Rickmann worked with the best in the business. He was connected to everyone, and occasionally when the hot new part needed to be installed on something, well, the Corvette was available to fit the new intake, carbs, exhaust...

Notice the carbs sticking through the hood, side pipes... it got the coolest stuff added on. He didn't garage it, left the top down 365, and withing a couple years it was sold off. The new owner didn't have it long before a wiring short burnt it down. Blamed Rickmann for the shoddy wiring, backyard rigged work... but the car was a wreck and used up.
