Chevy & GMC Vans

I always thought Gremlens were neat.

My next door neighbor built a show Gremlin years ago. Candy Apple red with a 383 stroker in it.
Would chirp a tire in the driveway going from park to drive. Wonder it didn't torque itself into a knot when you mashed it.

I know this has nothing to do with the pictures of the show, but speaking of overpowered cars...

I had a friend in tech school that had stuffed a 509 inch Cadillac V8 into his '91 Camaro.
If the road was wet it would scratch the tires with the lope in the idle speed when his foot was off the brake.
If the road was dry and he opened the throttle with the brakes on, it would start to spin the tires at 1400rpm.

It had lots of torque!

Once again Zam comes through with some great photography. Thanks. Love that 51 Chevy fastback.

I thought the rear fender chrome reminded me of the '50. It seemed like the '51 was shorter and wider and then they added a "tail" off of that for '52. Thing is, my memory is only ONE of the things that isn't working like it used to.. Loved the pics, tks.

Cool pix Zam!

A little sumthin for the flame lovers


and the interior...


Studebaker...check out that nose


The chrome on this baby looked sweet with the red paint...


Even the hippie vans were there, made me think of T Lows new pop-top, the orange van had a single person hammock and the green van had a similiar set-up to what TLow has in his for sleeping...


Thats all for tonight we'll post some more in the morn

Yeah-the Stude is my favorite fat rod in my favorite color.

that orange vw is the exact one that I went on a road trip out to BC in with my uncle back in 85. with the roof lifting that way i think it's a 73-74 westfalia model ..later models lifted the other way like the yellow one.

once again .. great pics. what model/brand of cam are you using zam?

Love that Pontiac, was that a Bonneville? I do have to admit though that I don't the idea behind upholstering the inner fender well. Look real close on the left front you will see the same style of material as the dash....

Awe I see we struck the memory button Rob, lol. The previous 6 pics plus this one were taken by Maddy using my Canon A620.Starting with my next post they were taken with my Canon S5IS

That Studebaker brings back a memory. When I was a senior in high school my best friend let me drive his Studebaker. One afternoon after school I returned the favor by turning it over. We climbed out the windows, flagged down a large feed truck and had the truck driver wrap a chain around the now very crunched Stude. He flipped it back on its wheels and after a heart felt thankyou we were on our way. Ah !!!!!!!! Youth. Those were the days.
