Beatnik Blowout and Ventura Nationals



I'm off to see some Customs this year, check in after these shows for some photo coverage of them! Maybe you already have seen that the Beatniks of Koolsville have among their hot rods and customs the member who is the lead singer of Metallica, James Hetfield. The 3 or 4 vehicles that I've seen that he's had made are incredible http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/search/label/Metallica I'm guessing that the other cars in the Beatniks of Coolsville club are on par

1954 Vette pulled out of a field in upstate New York


That rust to the middle of the tire is proof that cars will settle into their own graves

I love finding that there are more cool old cars to learn of for the first time, here's a 1959 Willy’s Jeep FC 170

I've never seen one live or in a photo, I have no idea why this is so, I've love one of these for a work truck! It'd grab attention like a crocodile in a crowded room.

The coolest thing we'll see all week, an Indian motorcycle from the 1910's or 20's made into a railroad service car
