Roger Bennington's subtle '40 Ford pickup was the CCT magazine pick. The two-tone gray paint, custom interior, and perfect stance were among the details that impressed us the most.

Cruising occurred almost continuously both days up and down the main drag, evident by these ol' Bow Tie haulers.

There's ample room for food, drink, chairs, and of course all the family in this cool '40 Ford delivery owned by Jimmy Taylor of Lumberton, NC.

Cab-over-engine trucks are becoming a more common sight at hot rod shows. This '42 GMC COE belongs to Wesley Wolfe of Covington, VA. It captured long looks all weekend because of the superb quality fit 'n' finish inside and out.

Donnie Maness of Robbins, NC, brought his simple but elegant orange crush '52 Chevy.

Clean, very clean, and exceptionally clean describe the '50 Chevy of Mike Shipley from Lenoir City, TN.

Robert Wyman brought out his very cool '55 Chevy from Madison, AL.

Cruising the streets in his '29 Ford roadster pickup, Gary Brigham of Kennesaw, GA, doesn't care if it's day or night. He's driving one of the country's best Model A pickups.
