In Southern California, summer is the time for local auto shows. The Santa Rosa Auto Show is a local, neighborhood show. Just a bunch of guys getting together to show off their rides. Some are highly customized, others are nearly stock - they are all fun to look at (and lust after).
A "woody" wagon - the ultimate surfer ride!
A "woody" big Chrysler with a roof mounted luggage rack - it doesn't get better than this!
The Corvair, with a flat-six engine inspired by Porsche was one of the best American cars built in the '60s. Too bad that "pointy-headed" Ralph Nader killed it.
I love these hot-rodded coupes!
This is a very "cute" (and rare) VW bug and trailer combo. There is even rom to carry a short surfboard on top of the Bug.
Here is a mid-engined deTomaso Pantera. These cars are brutally fast, the mid-engine design makes them superbly well-balanced. Look at the close-up photo of the enigne bay, how the engine and transmission are situated to create a very stable ride.
The Hudson Hornet. The "hero" car in Disney-Pixar's recent animated film "Cars."
And finally, a "Gloeing Ember special." Glo loves the cars from Mopar's heyday. Here is one for you Glo!
Thank you for looking!
