RUBY’S CAR SHOW WE ATTENDED

59 club meet up

What a great little venue Ruby’s diner is up in Whittier, A stones throw from where I live and thought that a trip to check this Car show out would be fun to attend and get some cool grub at the same time, seeing as it is quite light until at least 8;30 pm, we took advantage of the weather and headed out to Whittier for a great evening with my 59 Club.

Caution indeed,as we parked up and took in the sights and sounds of Ruby’s Diner and what a great selection of cool stuff they had to show us here.

How about this awesome flathead Indian Chief, I would love to have been the owner of this ride and loved everything about it, even the oil leaks!

015

I painted this design on My leather jacket a few decades ago now and always loved the Indian logo, what a cracking American piece of History.

016

I didn’t see the owner as i wanted to hear it fire up and cruise down the road, but this show is always cool to see as you never know what might turn up.

017

Green seemed to be a popular choice of color for many of the cars that showed up today but its a cool color none the less and loved the rides.

018

The fairlane below was super clean and had every factory option available o it, a sweet long and wide machine that was just nice to look at.

026 028

 

The Pontiac Star Chief was also a hit at the show, Big Chromed D- Cup Over riders and sat lower than a snakes belly, this was really a nice car.

029

 

The 5 spokes and Lakes pipes on that Star Chief was a nice touch too. Blew a soft green Lincoln Continental Convertible looked awesome.

 

 

034

Four Door Galaxy was super clean and all original trim too, this has been cherished for many years that’s for sure and I loved it.

041

Below, this Yellow T Bucket had more tickets than cheap Angels deals and was Blown with open headers!

020 021

 

I would of loved the Dodge Lancer as the Body work was all original and loved the paint patina, not sure where the Hood went though.

022

Small Block Powered 1930 A Bone was sitting pretty on steelies and lakester headers.

023

 

I loved this49 Woody, awesome Super deluxe Model and Flathead powered with a three speed.

024 025

56 Wagon was clean and I have seen a few of these out here, loved to own one myself as I had a 55 4 Door in the UK in the 90’s.

027

Another Green ride, this time a Bowtie on stock rims and cleaner than many cat’s Arses.

031

Super smooth and clean 56 Belair that had custom 60’s tube grill, just lose the dice and this would be fab!

032

I know, but as I said, there is something for everyone at this weekly meet and this was really clean too.

033

Mopar at its very best here, plenty of people looked at this Plymouth, love the big intake scoop.

035

How can you not just stop and stare, such a menacing front end.

036 037

Little Canary yellow and Red 40 ford is so cool, an early owner so a Hot Rod for many years, flattys gone so now a street rod but loved it.

039

I loved this 53 it sat right, looked right and would of loved to own it and painted it a candy Root Beer brown with lake pipes.

042

043

 

This tidy 55 is a nice model and other than the Dice, I would of taken it for sure.

Antique Nationals 45th Meeting on June 28th FONTANA

At the end of June I am going to be riding with the 59 Club up to Fontana to watch all the great Vintage Hot rods and motorcycles take a run up on the Quarter mile and this show is one of the best of the year, especially for a spectator as you get close to everything. But here you can even enter your machine if it fits into their requirements.

This show has been going for years and i have not missed one, it is fun packed and always something new to see, a great time to also meet up with friends and chin wag about whats been going on etc.

I know you will like watching Hot Rods line up and race, as well as gassers and some Vintage Model A’s with 4 Bangers, it sure is a treat.

They may be slow by todays standards but great to watch and more hopped up than stock.

 

 

The sound of the Flatheads, the smell of Race gas and the Camaraderie is second to none in this type of event.

You never know what will be there ad for us to turn up in numbers will be a fun day for sure as there is plenty of places to park etc and is sure to be a brilliant day to watch the racing and to talk to like minded people.

 

 

It is not to be missed just for the Nostalgia alone and I am looking forward to walking around the pitts and checking everything out there.

Watching crazy built Altereds is amazing to see and hear as their Motors scream the 1/4 and smell the Nitro as they perge at the line.

Marky from the Shifter ran his Purple people Eater and that was super to watch it launch off the line.

I have known Marky 15 years and watched him create this when i was with them and at Anthony Castaneda’s shop back in the day and so great to watch this Altered Roar down the tarmac, spitting fume and fury all over the place, a fantastic show just for this ride alone.

He flew off the line a couple of years ago and had everyone a gasp, but last year he had a solid run and it sounded like Thunder.

Even watching fun old Whizzer style Push Bikes try for a 28 second pass is hilarious and I am sure you will agree?

 

 

So if you like to watch Vintage racing at its very best, head on out to Fontana for the Antique nationals on the 28Th of June or ride out with us from Anaheim, you will thank us later after you have seen all that goes on there.

You never know what you may see there, its different every event.

 

So – Don’t miss the 45th running of the Antique Nationals – the original nostalgia drag race.

The Antique Nationals is the original nostalgia drag race. Racing is open to any 1954 or earlier type vehicle (Ford Trucks OK thru 1956). Race cars must pass tech inspection which requires seat belts and helmets in all cars. Open cars running 13.99 or quicker must have an NHRA approved roll bar/arm restraints.
