follow the tradition

If you want to know what Vern Tardel is currently up to, you can either visit him in Santa Rosa, California at his Flathead Ranch or you can follow him on facebook.

coming soon: powerglide #19

Be sure to get a copy of the upcoming issue #19 of the french POWERGLIDE magazine. It's always a treat to check it out even if you don't speak too much french. And it's gonna showcase a car feature I shot this summer.

This looks like a great car show: Throttlers 2011 Burbank, photos @ Chris Casny. Very nice pics, Chris! (HAMB)

So many cool rides in one place. This must be the Deadend Magazine Cruise Night 2011 from Andrew Quinones on Vimeo.

voodoo hoodoo

While I'm cultivating my laziness, others are busy as hell. Take Raphael, for example, the guy building his one-off three window model a coupe. After he got the car running this summer, he decided it might need a nice shiny hood and matching hood sides. As usual, he wasn't happy with the stuff from the shelf so he started with a couple of sheets of aluminum and after a little hammering here and some pounding there, voilà, this is what he came up with.

nomad's land

Two door coupe and wagon are by far the cooler body styles of post war cars. So, it doesn't get much better than a two door wagon. That's why I, even if I'm not a big fan of tri chevys, adore the '55 nomads with their slanted side windows and radiused rear wheel wells. This one must be my favorite. (photos © Dutchman Photos)
