Tribute hot rod dedicated to POW MIA Robert Rodriguez, Master Technician, US Air Force

tribute to WW2 fighting men, the women, and the cars they left behind

Even put a Rat Fink on the license plate... cool. But behind that is an ammo can, and above, a good brake light

Ed "Big Daddy" Roth tribute trike and tribute car are in an unlikely location, the Justice Brothers museum

( Blue star mother / war mother ) flags proudly displayed by a Navy mom

I didn't know what it was for sure, but remember seeing something similar in old movies, so I looked it up to verify what I thought the blue star flag meant.

It's flown over the capitol building every Veterans day, and displayed in home front windows, and each blue star represents that a son or daughter is serving the country in the US military.

It was made during World War 1, and used a lot during WW2, but Korea and Vietnam weren't felt to be patriotic wars, and nothing military was quite as popular to associate with when the US went to war in foreign countries we hadn't been attacked by, so the flag became historic through disuse. Things change and public perception to the military reverted to patriotic after New York City was targetted on Sept 11th, 2001.

Ever come across a Von Dutch tribute roadster before? This is the first I've seen or heard of

Built by Dick Dean, flamed by Keith Dean, Stipped by Tom Clark

If the pinstriped rabbit looks familiar, it was in the 1956 Car Craft interview with Von Dutch as he brushed it down for a gallery of 6 shots... and called it Harvey - shaken by cross breeding (from the Jimmy Stewart movie Harvey)
