Event Coverage Santa Rosa Custom Auto Show back after 16 years! PICS!

My buddy Greg decided it was high time Santa Rosa had an indoor car show again, and with the help of Mike Chase, boy did they hit it out of the park! The show is all this weekend at the Sonoma County fairgrounds. There are some real time capsules at this show. Cars like the So Cal Speedshop roadster, AJ Foyt's Bardahl 32 Ford, Rich Guasco's 61 AMBR winner and many more. I had the opportunity to meet Rich Guasco, cool guy......he even signed the Strange Bird's cowl!

Enough talk....here's some photos of the good stuff!

The Strange Bird was in good company!


Brandon's awesome 39, and his ass.

Tardel makes a tasty Flathead!

 

Great Pictures....Thanks for sharing

 

Fantastic photos …. I want your camera

 

Oh
And your falcon looks great

 

looks like it was an awesome comeback for the show!!!

 

Nice pics. What kind of camera do you use?

 

Its a Nikon D3100 Pretty inexpensive DSLR that works great. I set it on dummy auto mode and it shoots pretty decent indoor pics. If I wanna get crazy with the settings it can do amazing stuff. I'm pretty happy with it. The Nikon isn't as user friendly as the Canon in the same price range but its worlds better in picture quality IMO.

Some of the pics aren't so great, I was competing with my 8 month old girls attention span, so pics had to be snapped quickly hahaha.

 

Grate pic's !!!when is the next show ?

 

Cool, been wanting a DSLR. Now I know what to look for. My Canon PowerShot A3100 just doesn't cut the mustard for these kinds of shots. Maybe I just need to mess with the settings some.

Cute kid you got there.

 

Great pics thanxxxxx

 

Great photos and a bunch of really nice rides. Big variety too. Thank you for sharing. That oxide red primed Deuce 5 window made me damp. Very cool

 

Thanks for the pics, looks like a really good turnout. Was lucky to see a bunch of those at the Sac. Autorama.

Strange Bird rules.

 

Great pics

 

Great pix - thanks!

 

Love Brandon's '39 and now with the blackwalls on it's reminding me a bit of Chris' '34 Pickup. Such a killer car.

So-Cal roadster would probably be my favorite from the pics you've shown.....love that era of hot rodding. Thanks for sharing!!

 

Great pics. I was confused about the "patina" on the '32 roadster, but after finding out the story behind it's history, it makes sence now. Looks like a well built hot rod.

 

Looks like a great show!

 

very good show of some cool cars & great pics thanks for the coverage !

 

Scotty, nice seeing you again! Great having our own autorama again. When I was 11 I got a Robert Williams tri-five poster at the SR show. I am attaching some of my pics. Please excuse the quality. They were done with a SD1100is point-and-shoot.

 

Some of the bikes:

 

Thanks for the pictures Scotty. Man I didn't even hear about this show until today. Looks like a really nice turn out.

 

Fantastic photography. Thanks for sharing them with us.

 

those are some great looking photos! thanks for posting them.

 

Don't jump the gun there pardner ... that is not fake patina!!!! that car has been a hot rod since 1950. The shiny black fenders is original henry..

 

Oh...and the maroon on the body dates 1956..that is dads 1932 here on the hambs car. He and I rubbed it out, that's why the old lacquer is so shiny.. there is your explanation for " that style''..

GREAT PICS STRANGE BIRDSALL!

 

Great stuff Scotty, thanks for sharing...good pics for a nikon
