    Post your favorite hot rod picture...Pics with more to say than "heres a nice car"...


    I found this pic (by Norm Grudem) in "the old days" section of gassermadness.com... I'm very drawn to this old picture, i've set it as my background put it on my myspace page exc exc...I'd say its on my top 5 for favorite hotrod pics...

    What sets this pic apart from my other favorite hot rod pictures?...I'm not sure... Ive been sitting here trying to understand my fascination with this picture,but its one of those things you cant put in words.the pic)... Its like what it shows (what its "of") isn't what its about,like its not a picture but a statement...? Thats all I got

    I've swiped several thousand and scanned a rew hundred more I wish I could give credit to the photographers and owners but after a 100 or so I lost count, since my computer is in one corner of my living room and t.v. in the other I'll run my images as a slide show and show an old movie on the t.v. as a visual background during parties, it takes longer to get through all of my pics than it does the movies in most cases, here's a few of my favorites

    This one has got to be my favorite. A friend had e-mailed me this one. It must be one of his favorites too. I don't know anything about it, time or place. But it's a moment in time that I wish I had seen. It seems like the good ol days was the place to be. They were living the life back then. Sometimes I wonder if we are livin the life right now, and future generations will call this the good ol days..

    To me, what that picture says is "hurry up and drop the damn green flag....I have a race to run!"

    When I read this thread the first photo that leaped into my mind was the one from the 60s where "Wild" Wille Borsch is coming off the line sideways in his AA/Altered roadster with one hand on the wheel and the other holding the door. What a cool bastard he was! I have it somewhere in my magazines but for the life of me I don't know where. Does anyone have it?
     
  27. This one ?
