The Porto Roadster, built in 1950 on the dry lakes, racing class winner and GNRS winner, crashed in 1953 and winner of the 2011 preservation award




AAA's 1947 Harley Servicar



the 572 cu in Impaler, suede and chrome for the Impala world





Variety of cool stuff I came across at the GNRS






Made me laugh




Really great look, I don't think I've seen a steering wheel like this before


before the Garmin, early primitive man had a MAP! This mounted clip board seems to be function and utility for a rally






great collection!




The shifter know instead of the normal handle is a cool touch, the white walled red rims with beauty rings are damn good looking too


Dan Keene's 1955 Dodge Sierra Suburban, the U Neek


Steve Heller is customizing new cars, an unusual type of hobby, not many pull it off well. Steve is putting a lot of effort into it, here's Cro Magnum

this car isn't something I'm keen on, but the attempt to make what you want from a new car to look like an old car is a good thing
Steve does more than just auto transfromations, he also hand crafts wood furniture and welds sculptures http://www.fabulousfurnitureon28.com/index.html

These lights are cooler than the car, I don't care for the saw blade, but that some old headlights are used for spotlighting is very cool

Something else Steve made looks familiar to me, the 48 Plymouth he made into the Bubble Car http://www.fabulousfurnitureon28.com/auto/bubblecar.html

Flip up steering wheel on a model T... I finally found another!



great to come across such a rare old aftermarket gizmo.. I'm amazed that I've seen one before

I found a Sampan at the GNRS... it's rare to run across one!



the only other Sampan I've come across was a DeSoto that comes to Wavecrest: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/09/dasoto-sampan-if-this-gets-you-in-mood.html
