Thread: Last trip to nats?

Stovens, I took 26 pictures but wish I had more. In keeping with the idea of a mix and guessing some of the interest on this Forum here are some that might be of interest. There was one car I did not get a picture of that had plates from Hawaii, which made us wonder how it got to the East Coast. Interestingly my wife really likes these events but she ignores all the "modern cars" and looks for the Model A-type which is why we are building an A! My wife offered up a new interpretation of Rat Rods of which there were only a few along with some sporting the black primer look; according to her those cars are "unfinished"! Next to the Nash tub was a nice Stude and you can see the front of the Nash. The Nash did not seem to have any performance enhancements beyond cosmetic chrome acorns on the head bolts but it is nice; the Stude was a full house setup but I did not get a picture of the engine. There were several nice '36 Ford coupes and here is one. The next picture is one of several very smooth shoeboxes with a Pontiac grill and a flathead engine. There seemed to be more flatheads this year than I remembr from other years and here is a very well done '32 with polished Fenton headers. Finally here is one of the most elaborate paint jobs that I saw, although it is "too much" for my taste.
