We got a lot of hits on a photo of a (right hand drive) deuce roaster with flames paint job which we saw at SummerNats2009, so when we saw this deuce coupe with a flames paint job at the San Francisco Car Show on Thanksgiving Day of 2012, we just had to take a picture.

The new exhibit at the Beat Museum will be mentioned in my Year-in-Review column which will be posted Sunday afternoon (I hope!).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This trailer was on a tour of the USA for a beer company.  We’ll try to give them a better plug in a future column that will be posted in the usual places.

We went down to Monterey CA to take a look at some of the cars that are in that city this weekend for all kinds of fun and frivolity.  We posted a column about our adventures

On D-day in Berkeley we spotted a V-dub with a great paint job and a MGB, so we did out duty and took some car-spotting pictures to post here.

Classic old car-spotting in Berkeley CA

April 30, 2011

We spotted this 1942 Buick Special on Telegraph Ave., on Friday April 29 and so we took some photos.  A friend of the owner said the vehicle has 69,000 original miles.  Since it is 69 years old; you do the math.
