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

Very early 20's ? Chrysler with a strange VIN plate I have never come across before... I love this hobby, always finding interesting cool new things

 Ever seen one like this before?

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

F100 getting closer to the elements

Coolest caddy and trailer... wow pinstriping on suede and chrome, and found at the Viva Las Vegas Hot Rod Show

 Cool grill

Even though it's a 4 door... the panel outlined with the striping make it cool. 

To Valet, or Not to Valet... it's not a question. Don't. Here is one example, if you didn't get it when you watched Ferris Bueller's Day Off

The approximately $400,000 pileup reportedly happened when a valet drove a Maserati into -- and under -- a Jeep Grand Cherokee, which crashed into a Mini Cooper and a vintage Porsche 356.

The Epic Hotel in downtown Miami witnessed an epic crash involving expensive cars on Friday night. Onlookers revealed a Maserati Gran Turismo spiraled out of control and crashed into a number of cars.

I think before I hand over the keys to my car, I'm going to make sure the valets are bonded, licensed, and insured by some company that is fast with paying off damage claims.

police found the valet driving the Maserati ‘was coming down a parking garage ramp too fast, lost control, and drove his luxury sports car right under the SUV’

Evolution of mech. Think Steampunk dinosaurs... Cool video and has nothing to do with the car they are advertsing

Found on the very cool http://thekevinchen.wordpress.com

Brake light sockets... real good places for electrical safety cut off switches for serious drag racing cars with truck mounted battery boxes

6 pack air filter tops... and some times these huge air filter housings were used on 4 barrels too, when the Mopar had dual hood scoop ram air, like the 69 Super bee

 Above, custom made for a magazine car, below, another one off custom

Hockey stripes and billboards... only Mopar and muscle car people know what that means, for anyone who wonders - here are the two coolest decal themes used in muscle cars to show off the engine size

 The above is fuzzy, it isn't your eyes or computer. Sorry about that

 Though not either, this AAR (Dan Gurney All American Racer) decal fits here nicely, and was technically the strobe stripe I believe

If you love Mopars, these are nothing new, but there are a lot of people that haven't seen as much of the variety of muscle cars as you and I. Some have seen another world of muscle cars, the south American variety, Australian, or the African varieties. Cool stuff that here in the USA we are totally unfamiliar with. 

340 Wedge, the biggest and last factory engine call out on a hood since the 60's Nascar racers were out to impress with their engine sizes. A unique decal for any maker, and the only one Mopar did that I know of

 I think this is the most factory correct of the ones I photograpghed and are posted here.

 I think on the streets I've only ever seen one of these, and never at a car show before.

Mopar Mike's doodle art. Cool stuff Mike, I hope you keep getting your On and Off onto more cars. I liked the unusual On/Off labels

A terrific pair of Shelbys... the forgotten 1980's Shelby's, and you'd never guess which ones without photos

 A new Lancer (vs the old one you'll see in a couple of posts) and a Shelby Dakota... the only truck with Shelby on it I can think of

60's Dodge truck ready for racing

Great 65 Barracuda on the 163 southbound towards downtown San Diego the other day

 Nice rims and racing stripes. That dual exhaust has to indicate at least a small block... but how big a motor can you fit in that engine bay? A 340 is the largest I've seen
