44th Annual Los Angeles Roadster Show

This old-school trunk is decked out with old pages from Hot Rod magazine.

Well, it looks like they made it, now all they need to do is put up a return sign and hope for a little luck on the trek back to Arizona. Notice the C-clamps holding up the sign, talk about ingenuity.

Check out this '59 Chevy parts runner that came through the gates. It just wouldn't be a show without an old shop truck.

The red steelies with Moon caps and beauty rings, with the addition of some wide whites, is an excellent touch to this Tri-Five Chevy.

Seeing a flathead motor tucked between the framerails of a roadster pickup is nothing new. Now, seeing a flathead motor with these crazy metal-fabbed upper radiator hoses dropping off into a set of Edelbrock heads, well that's a new one.

Now all that's needed is a ballot box to vote either Ford or Chevy.

Besides the show inside and outside the gates, another highlight is the massive swap meet. Dig this '64 shortbed Custom Cab Chevy we spotted for sale. Although stock-looking on the outside, underneath is a custom back half with a Watts link, a Jim Meyer IFS frontend, boxed frame, Wilwood disc brakes all around, Air Ride Shockwaves, a fresh 283 motor with Billet Specialties Tru Trac serpentine system mated to a 700-R4, and a whole lot more. The best part is the dude was only asking $19,500 for it.

In other news, there was also an assortment of later-model '73-87 C10s in attendance as well.

1959 Cadillac taillights never go out of style. Regardless of what they're used on, or how they're used.

A real-life Muscle Machine, well almost. This blown Hemi sits atop a Studebaker styled golf cart.

How about this for a parts hauler around the swap meet?
