Best paint of the 2012 Ventura Nats (my award would go to) the Loco Banditos



you might not like the over the top mix of styles, stripes, and colors, but I think even the haters might find the effort worth applause. I like it all, and the desicion to go all the way and have flames, lace, pinstriping, lettering, panel paint, and a full color spectrum. Bravo!

It's grill chrome is drawer pulls... that is cool!

Ken Hubbard brought his 1935 DeSoto Airflow to the Ventura Nats... what a beautiful car



 here is another example of beautifulo gauges, and a rare example of the center speedometer and reversible panels in front of the driver or passenger so export cars could be have the gauges put in front of the driver easily, regardless of the cars desination

cool pinstriping I came across at the Ventura Nats








funky GM design from the 1960's. At least they dared to be stylistically different, and not copy every other car makers designs like is common today


Picture of the tail of a Lincoln removed... I must have been distracted when that photo got selected. Good to see you guys are quick to spot the huge emblem that just screams "LINCOLN" that I misssed. I was dazed by the chrome and paint glare. I swear I was.





Cool shifters I saw at the Ventura Nats
