If you missed yesterday's coverage of the Temecula Rod Run, you'll definitely want to check it out here. If you liked the first taste of what the Rod Run had to offer, you'll love the second half... IMG_1787r IMG_1792r IMG_1791r IMG_1790r IMG_1789r This little roadster, titled Half Moon Bay Bomb Factory, had killer detail. The owner hit a perfect 10 with this chosen theme, right down to the bomb shell air cleaners. IMG_1785r IMG_1786r IMG_1780r IMG_1783r IMG_1782r IMG_1778r IMG_1777r IMG_1776r IMG_1775r The paint choice on this vintage beauty was superb - the matte blue finish and the pinstriping design made it a knockout! IMG_1774r IMG_1772r IMG_1773r IMG_1769r IMG_1770r IMG_1768r IMG_0435r IMG_0432r IMG_0429r IMG_0430r IMG_0428r IMG_0427r IMG_0425r IMG_0424r We loved the sleek, streamlined presence of this Impala - the length of this car alone is incredible. Wouldn't you have loved to see this beauty cruising the highway? IMG_0423r IMG_0420r IMG_0419r IMG_0418r IMG_0416r IMG_0417r IMG_0414r IMG_0413r IMG_0412r Talk about a show stopper - this car drew tons of attention from hot rodders. The metal flake in the burgundy on the roof was a great touch. IMG_0409r IMG_0408r IMG_0407r IMG_0406r IMG_0403r You may recognize the plate of this Corvair from Monday's vanity plate post... "LA VAIR." IMG_0401r IMG_0399r IMG_0397r IMG_0396r IMG_0395r IMG_0392r IMG_0391r IMG_0390r IMG_0389r IMG_0387r IMG_0386r With incredible length and a fascinating profile, this beautifully restored '58 Olds was quite the presence at the show! IMG_0384r IMG_0383r IMG_0382r IMG_0381r IMG_0377r IMG_0374r IMG_0370r IMG_0369r IMG_0368r IMG_0366r IMG_0365r We loved the two-tone green paint scheme on this hot rod. The pearlized darker green on the bottom made this vintage vixen stand out from the crowd. IMG_0363r IMG_0362r IMG_0360r IMG_0357r IMG_0356r IMG_0354r IMG_0353r IMG_0349r IMG_0350r IMG_0348r IMG_0347r IMG_0346r IMG_0344r IMG_0343r IMG_0340r IMG_0339r IMG_0338r IMG_0336r IMG_0329r IMG_0331r IMG_0334r IMG_0333r So... you know you're a vintage car nut when you see an emblem like this and your first thought is that it would make great art for your house. Yep, I'm not ashamed to admit it. I seriously had that thought when I saw this "Dynaflow" detail. IMG_0328r IMG_0326r IMG_0309r And last but not least, the winner of the most extreme themed car (yes, it beat the hearse from yesterday's post) is this truck... IMG_0323r IMG_0322r IMG_0321r Now you can see why it beat the hearse, hands down! So what I really want to know is - does he really take this car to go fishing?The Temecula Rod Run was certainly a show worth attending. Hundreds of classic cars in the midst of a great classic town, drawing an enthusiastic crowd out to support a great cause. Be sure not to miss it next year!
