Goodguys Southwest Nationals - Cruising Season

The drive from Lake Havasu City contributed to the 7,000 miles already clocked on Russ & Ruth Johnson’s butter yellow ’45 Chevy. It gets around courtesy of a 327 and four-speed.

Mike Grimes, from Farmington, New Mexico, pulled the emblems off his ’51 Chevy, dropped it to the ground, and covered the whole thing in apple red paint with beautiful tan upholstery on the inside.

Nature and time are responsible for the distressed-leather-like patina on Sam Castronova’s ’58 Chevy Apache. A brown and white cowhide seat cover matches the exterior finish. A 6.0 LS engine makes it move.

Mike Carpenter’s ’55 Chevy is another Wild West Street Rods creation, now loaded with a crate 350 and deep tan upholstery.

Speaking of paint, this cinnamon brown looks great on Paul and Carole Napier’s slammed ’55 Ford, especially with the chromed and polished grille, bumpers, and running boards.
