A race ready widebody Dauphine! Amazing!


 



I'm impressed by the terrific airbrushed painting on this van!




the best looking car with a chopped top, a Mercury. I haven't seen one in a long time! I don't think I've ever seen a classic Merc at SEMA before, but I might have simply forgotten. Either way, these were simply more beautifully proportioned when the tops were chopped

 

Twin Turbo Lamborghini engined Miata... I'd like to see this on a race track!

 

Datsun? It think so...






Just when you think you've seen every strange thing people can throw money at that no one else will understand... this all wheel steering 6 wheel Humvee with a wing shows up at SEMA







the opposite of Little Debbie



the worlds biggest floor jack?





A Chevy truck from Brazil! Very surprising to see at SEMA!






I love wreckers! Rob learned about this one in Arizona and got it nearly done in time for SEMA... I'm glad it got to SEMA event thought it's not completely done. The Dirty Hooker

The bed was rebuilt, then painted with the roof. The side patina was left original. 

I think Rob said the wrecker was used at at body shop for years, then ended up in a junk yard, used there to move cars around, then was parked. 

It was discovered recently, with a 396 engine! then brought back to life

Concept art! Love it! 









what it looked like when found.

It's his first time as a participant, but he's been to SEMA many years as an attendee

the “Most Outstanding Car” at the 1953 Motorama, Tommy Foster's made in Mi hot rod!
