El Mirage (may 2010)

Gene Winfield just finished a run as I got there

More to post soon

Mexican Blackbird, a t-bird that finally got a good custom paintjob!

I didn't see, that this is owned by ZZ top guitarist and hot rod driving force Billy Gibbons. I mean that Billy funded a lot of customs being built and they way that they look, the work that inspired many enthusiasts. Cadzilla, Eliminator, the pair of motorcycles, the album cover art of the ZZ Top albums in the late 80's.. .. wow

For a good post about this car, with a video of it rolling on a side street: http://chrismejia.tumblr.com/tagged/Billy_F_Gibbons

Almost any car can be identified by a corner photo... from the front or the back, there are that many design cues in the lights and bumpers

Nifty Fifty Seven, cool license plate!

As previously posted, the T-Bird convention was this morning

It was at the Holiday Inn, a block North of Aero Dr, on Murphy Canyon Dr.

Nice people, but strange taste in cars. After the 57, I lost apprecation for the exterior design, and they had the one speedometer without a glass face, just big plastic numbers, with bar speedo needle under the numbers. Yuck.

Why is this T-Birds radio marked wrong?
