Kim, you've outdone yourself with this set!!! Outstanding backgrounds only exceeded by the beauty of this classic Bugatti.

Kim, it's amazing to see the recent trend to take on the Wagons as restorations or restomods. As I've mentioned before, I still lust over owning a '57 Pontiac 2dr Safari stion wagon, but with only 1292 ever built they are beyond my price range or ability to bring back a total rust bucket.

Great looking ride and I'm glad you included some of the details about it. Congratulations on the completion of your friend's car that is now yours.

Nice old homes that appear to be very well preserved and possess a good deal of character.

The '55 Chevys always bring back good memories as my best friend and I spent many hours back in the day working on his '55 2dr hdtp and my '56 Ford Conv.

Great to see a collector car that's driven! Nice looking ride. Both my streetrod and El Camino are regularly driven, but trips rarely exceed 100 miles these days.

Virgil Exner at his best during those years!!! However these cars were real "rust buckets" if you lived in the Northeast as I did during those years and not many survive.

That is one beautiful Led Sled, Kim. The builder was certainly a master craftsman to expertly chop that roof as well as the many other custom mods to the body. A real smoothie!

Really nice country landscape, Tom! Reminded me of some of the old barns I have photographed in and around Lake Placid, NY when we were living down the road in Saranac Lake.

While they might not have been as prevalent as the Custom and Custom 300, I remember seeing lots of these Fairlanes around town in the 50s. They probably weren't as popular simply because that design was so ugly... 
The side trim on this model did nothing but exaggerate the UGLY!

Good to see one in its original skin, so many of this model have been customized as lowriders and/or "Lead Sleds." ZZ Top has a beautiful example of a Low-rider that has made the show rounds for years.

Nice looking Riviera, Kim! I think the first model year had a bit of an edge in styling with the clamshell hide-away headlights.

More great photos, Tom, and a great story of your experience behind the wheel of that BMW! You sure attend shows with a much higher level of collector cars than the ones I regularly attend and participate in.

Nice photography on your part, Blaster! Good to see that at least 2 Gremlins escaped donations of their sheetmetal to 1960's dirt track modifieds.
