Hey John,
Cool photos ... glad you shared 'em. I've been to one cruise night ... a
Saturday night a few weeks ago that the Northern IL Street Rod Association has
in South Elgin along Randall Rd.....
Heh ... can you believe it is JULY and I still haven't seen you yet this year?
LOL! You'd think we lived states apart instead of just "down the road"....

Nice shots! The "Smash Hit" brush guard/"roo bar" was very
different. About the salmon-colored convert, did ya mean the pink and
black Cadillac Allante? (It looks more like Mary Kay pink than salmon to
me, but you were there and I wasn't. so.....)
As far as the UFO motor, was that in the 49/50 Ford Convert
semi-radical kustom? Of so, it's like so many of the newfangled motors
that are buried under plastic covers so ya can't actually see the motor.
I dunno if this is an untapped market. Selling kustom kovers for
Chargers, Vettes, Mustangs, etc. Put fancy logos or abstract designs or
just flames on 'em...hell, if I thought of it, somebody else must have.
Btw, did ya check out the dash on that car? Speedo and clock are the only
instruments I could see. Decorative. Very decorative. :)
My favorite was the 28/29 Model A Phaeton. Speakin of Model As,
there's a 4dr 30/31 that seems to be haunting my life (some photos here:
http://www.chevyasylum.com/temp4/ .) If it had been 10 years ago, I would
already have it in my driveway (just to piss off the city "newthink"
appearance nazis.)
Thanks for the fotos.

I took off for the car show last night after work. There is one by the
Court House in Geneva on Thursdays in July and August. Although it's
small, there were some cool cars there. I particularly liked the Olds
Dynamic 88 that was a magazine feature once upon a time, and the old truck
with the aooogah horn bolted to the valve cover. Only one pic of my El
Camino, but I got plenty. Great brush guard on the old Ford pickup (From
Waco, Tx).
Also, there was an old salmon and white convert I did not identify,
with an also unidentified modern power plant. What a great car. Sorry for
the double interior shot. All automated on the web photo gallery from
photo shop. Zero editing. No time to put the pics up there, but I did it
anyway.
