The
2007 Lone Star Rod
& Custom Round Up, was another stellar hot rod event in Austin, Texas.
The Kontinentals have continually built this show into one the premiere shows
in the country. Year after
year cars come from all across the country to participate in this 3 day event.
And each year the number of live music venues associated with the show continues
to grow. As always, Saturday night is cruise night downtown on Congress Ave
as hundreds line the street to see the seemingly endless parade of hot rods
pass by.
Here some shots from 2007 of just a few of the hundreds of great rides.
| The 32 Ford, or Deuce as it is known, offers endless possibilities for restoring and customizing. | |
|
A 1934 Ford coupe and a '34 Plymouth may look similar but you can be sure the owners feel their ride is distinctive. Late 1930's Fords, like the '39 and '40 pictured below, are also extremely popular for creating street rods.

Some hot rodders go for the unusual like the leopard print paint on the 49 Mercury, while others prefer the sleek monocolor scheme of this rockin' early 1950's Oldsmobile.

|
| Tri-Five Chevys offer a rich canvas to express the owners vision of cruisin' style. Color, fabric and accessories allow the builder to showcase many skills. With enough money, the possibilities are endless. | |
|
Even
the traditional family car from the 1960's makes an appearance at the
Lonestar Roundup with a decidedly distinctive look.. some more so than
others.
|
|
|
Some
prefer the glitz of eye popping paint and chrome, while others go for
the old school look of the rat rod.
|
|
|
From
classic racers to high dollar weekend show cars, there is something for
every taste at a Lonestar Roundup. Even the kids get into the spirit.

In 2010 I'm developing a fiberglass cargo trailer designed for street rods, customs and sports cars. Anything I can do to enhance the hot rod experience for everyone. |
