The 59th Annual Sacramento Autorama took place between February 6th and 8th for 2009. No one likes buying photographs of the same show truck twice so, with the exception of the Mountain Pearl (shown in last June's GNRS coverage) as a lead shot, we think we did a fair job of presenting you folks some of the local customized classic trucks (as in NorCal) that rolled into Sacramento along with the circuit players that helped to make Pomona's GNRS, held in late January, such a great show. We only have 31/2-pages to do it, so I'll pipe down and we'll get on with the show.

Gar Ellison is running a 312-inch Y-block T-bird motor in his '56 Ford F-100. The color is Electric Current Red and no, we don't know how many volts the color puts out.

Don Martin (not the Don Martin from Mad magazine) rolled his '51 Chevy panel in for the one-day show that is held outside each year for the guys that really drive their trucks.

Bruce Van Etten of Citrus Heights didn't buy into the "nothing up to date" credo when he outfitted his '41 Chevy hot rod truck with a dual master cylinder, power booster, and alternator.
