Motor Minute are quick video features of vehicles we find at car shows and events.
A Motor Minute Piece Today at the Historic Main Street Garden Grove Friday Night Car Show we catch up with resident Artist; Doug DoRr. He brought out his ’58 Pontiac to the event. And what a stunner. A 1958 Pontiac Star Chief 4-Door Sedan. A bird takes a dump on the front right fender as […]
I dig hanging out with Don Chambers. He has been a Mercifuls member about 6 months before I joined, heck it’s been like a dozen years or so now. Don has story after story that doesn’t get long winded at all, very entertaining and usually self-deprecating. And man-o-man does he have a sweet ride. You […]
Today we meet up with Brian Markey and his incredible restoration of his 1971 GMC 2500 4×4 Camper Special at the Cruisin’ La Verne Holiday Car Show. The 3/4 ton got a frame off restoration 3-4 years ago Brian and his buddy Carlos Rojas updated all the mechanicals, Cambra Speed Shop did the body and […]
Today we catch up with Kevin Studer with his bitchen ’37 Ford Coupe at the Historic Main Street Car Show in Garden Grove. Really nice polished lacquer blue paint, dropped with bags, rolls on Wheelsmith wheels, and powered by a 454, 700R and 9 inch rear. She gets up and scoots, like Kevin a contractor […]
Windy Campbell’s 1974 Dodge Dart Sport While roaming around the Cruisin For A Cure show, there is a building full of “Women and Wheels” exhibit of women owned vehicles. Right up front and center was this beautiful pink 1974 Dodge Dart Sport which we had seen at the All Women’s Car Show at the Zimmerman. […]
Steve Clark’s 1967 Chevrolet Camaro SS Have you ever noticed a car for the first time at a regular cruise night? For instance, I go the Historic Main Street Garden Grove Car Show on a regular basis and you see a lot of regulars (err, Hoolligans) and some newbies too. Well this week, a certain […]
A Redneck 33 Cabster from Redneck Hot Rods in South Dakota. This car was Sheila Chavez’ father’s project. He is an avid hot rodder with about ten cars and this one he was going to finish after he retired. He ended up developing cancer and couldn’t finish the car. Sheila took over the reigns and […]
Bob Patlian’s 1971 Ford Pinto Resto-mod Sometimes a car just stops you in your tracks. Am I right? I am at the Historic Main Street Car Show in Garden Grove on Friday Night, for this special event with the Wienermobile coming into town. Well, after all the commotion of a 30′ Hot Dog cruisin in […]
At the Historic Main Street Car Show I got a call out of the blue from Allison with the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile. She asked if it would be alright if they brought the Wienermobile out to our car show. She is referring to the Historic Main Street Car Show on Friday Nights in Garden Grove, […]
Today we meet with Tom Olson at the Big Wednesday Car Show and learn about his ’57 ‘Bird that he has owned since 1968! Can you imagine still owning your car when you were a senior in High School in 1968? Tom can, his T-Bird has gone through a few iterations throughout the years as […]
When you roll up on this ride at the local car show, there isn’t anything that jumps out at you. Subtlety at its best. You dig deeper and get lost in the deep black skin, the chrome accents just hit the rather snubby looking roller into the stratosphere with rocket cues and adorned fins. Then […]
Fred Quintard’s 1934 Ford 2-Door Sedan. Imagine having a car for over 50 years. I have to stop and think about that statement for a moment. I think that Fred Quintard has to be the only guy I know who has had the same car for such a long period of time. He drove this […]
