Event Coverage 2012 Portland Roadster Show Photos.

Yesterday Jean and I jumped in the box with wheels and made the trip to Portland for the Roadster show. The quality of the cars overall was higher than I remember with very of what I would call filler cars.

Bear with me as the lighting in those buildings is terrible for taking photos with my camera.

400+ lb Bronze Deuce roadster that is for sale for 140something thousand.







Russ's T was in a prominent position.

Ot but cool


This little Vic had some nice metal work going.

 

Interesting taillight treatment.


Hudsons can be cool.

 

This Chevy is actually a serious red rather than how it shows up. The lights wash the color out of red cars in that building.












Nice Olds and the light blue really works in that building.

 

Nice pics! Love that Hudson.

 

Sometimes a car doesn't need mods to look great.


This car is unbelievable when you get to look at it in person. Photos just don't do it justice.

 

Another shot of the Cad Ragtop.


Zephyr powered A

 

One of three nice 57 Olds wagons in the show.

 

You need to reload more photos. That roadster by Carolina Customs had the coolest banger in the show.

 

Blown flathead in a 40 Ragtop in the Steves Restorations booth

 

thanks for the pics, anymore?

 

One example of some nice art work that was for sale at the show.














The Slo Poks were out in force Celebrating 60 years in existance.

 

More Slo Poks cars


Bruce Geisler's 29RP

 

Blown Flathead Cad,






55 265 display engine




Photos showed that this truck ran at the drags for a lot of years






Stepping back into the middle room of the show.

The much discussed on the HAMB wooden Deuce.






Even the hubcaps are wood.

 

if you don't mind I'd like to post a couple of mine. keep all the good stuff on one thread. I'll wait till you finish.
I went on Sat. was looking forward to the HAMB meet that no one organised

 

I've been waiting for these pictures. Thanks for posting!

 

The pinstripers corner was busy with some nice work.




I didn't drag my wife over to see this one or she would have wanted to bring it home.




Still at it at 2:30 on Sunday Afternoon.


In the highschool section.


Great looking Wizzer on the back of a truck.




Wizzer hauler






Big and all pink.


Factory dual 4 setup in a black 57 Hardtop




Not sure what he was thinking but I was thinking that was one big Hemi engine








Bare Stude bones in the Strippers display.


A couple examples of the incredible airbrush work being done in the Portland area

There were a number of air brush artists booths with great work on display.

That's it for this year. 3-1/2 hours of walking up and down the isles looking at some great cars. The rest of the album is here but if you fear going blind because your eyes saw a few ot cars you probably best not look look though as I took over 400 photos this year including many ot cars and trucks.

That's probably best looked at in slideshow form.

Again, my apologies for all the glare in the photos, I think it's time to upgrade my camera equipment.

150+miles of driving down 3-1/2 hours at the show and a bit of shopping on the way back with another 150 miles home made for quite a day.

 

Go ahead, I looked for you on Sunday. I had to work until noon on Saturday and had to put my truck back together when I got home.

I did have my HAMB Andy shirt on.

 

Thanks for the post.....got sick and couldn't make it.......

 

Thanks for posting...I wanted to make it, but couldn't. My son, Marcus, and Paul are the two guys that comprise New Metal Kustomz, and they built the Sylvester 32 roadster entry.

 

I wanted to go, but pa got in an accident and I had to stick around. Glad you posted so I could get an idea of what it looked like.

 

WOW......looks like a full house!
Thanks for posting all these nice photos.

 

Anyone have some more pictures of that yellow Henry J with the black SS stripes? Maybe a front shot?

 

Looks like some really fine rides. I am impressed by the variety and the quality of entrees. Appreciate the nice event coverage. Congrat's to The Slo Pokes on a 60 year anniversary! Cool beans ~sololobo~

 

That Henry J was bred with a Viper I normally despise that stuff But..That car was cool!!!

 

Thanks for posting the pics, some very fine rides there.

 

I was working on my 50' after a long week of work on the road, and missed it all! Thanks for the pics!

 

i was never a big car fan until you posted those pics,i may just be converted

 

great shots, thanks for sharing

 

I saw a trend in glass, the Henry J was probably one of the best examples.
the last 5 I did some of the glass.

 

I spent three and a half hours of steady walking, looking and taking photo and it still looks like I missed a whole section of the show.

For anyone who didn't go the show is in three big buildings of which each can hold most regular car shows easily. Plus there was a separate fourth building that had a gun show going on at the same time.
