12-20-2022 update
The story of this update was that when I removed the NexGen Plugin, I lost all my image connections. Google doesn’t link broken images, so I’m fixing them one by one.
I’m running a little behind on my posts, and this might be more of the norm as I try and achieve balance in my life.
Because hot rods represent an image to our selves which creates a powerful connection to the 60’s-70’s where love and peace were present, we find ourselves longing and being drawn back into to that era, at least I do. I found these automobiles on a Saturday walk in Riverside, the owner was happy to let me photograph all of his wonderful collection. He had a great collection of automobiles from the 50-60’s, very nice gentleman.
Three deuces, or 3 x 2’s or 3 three two barrel carburetors.
I love the pin stripping of the 60s, WOW, we all wanted our cars to be different and express are selves, now we just don’t give a damn! Back then we never wanted to meet our selves driving down the road, funny !

Well as someone who never had a car like this (yes I’m boring), I enjoyed the tour around them and the intricate details of the cars. I did go to something similar in Virginia and was amazed at how much the owners could customize them to such a point that you couldn’t believe that such a chromed engine could actually run. Great photos!
Yes, It’s amazing what these people do, The one guy bought a dissembled Corvette in Ca. and 20 years later moved to NJ and started assembling it. I lost the photos but still looking for them.
Taking us back in time, eh, Louis? Very nicely done. I do miss my ’57 Chevy and a couple of the other cars I’ve had. Your Chevy images brought back some memories.
Thanks, Bill, I guess by now you figured out I was a motor head in my younger days. I never put the cars’ collection together, because I didn’t figure I could sell any of those images.
I want to go back in time and be a teenager for a few hours!!!! I want to ride again in those awesome cars!!!!
I remember! Is this Riverside CA?
