a fabricator with K&N Engineering wanted a different look for his 1995 Lincoln Town Car


In 2010 Contreras drove the car 1,600 miles to Vaca Limousine and asked the staff to create a custom car that had the look of a 1934 Ford.

It took Vaca about two months to convert the car and it remained at the Vaca plant for two years and displayed at car shows in Mexico.

not just a beauty of a showbox, it also won a free chop from Bill Hines


“I’d heard about a KKOA [Kustom Kemps of America] contest to win a free Bills Hines chop. A few months later after entering I got a call saying I won. I thought it was a joke and hung up the phone. Then Jerry Titus called back, telling me not to hang up again, it was no joke! So, with less than a week to spare, I closed shop and stripped the car down for the Leadsled Spectacular in Salina, Kansas. I got to spend four days watching Hines coach his crew [including Brad Masterson] on the style he saw for it.

The previous ranch wagon post is deleted. But here are a couple photos to show what Troy Martin of Full Scale Hot Rods built over a 2002 Z06, a cool '53 Ranch Wagon

Speaking of "on with the show" this wagon won the 2014 Best of Show at Cruzin Pismo Beach

and was featured in Gear Heads 4 Life magazine summer of 2015 issue


and that is a lot of good coverage for just one car.

if you're just seeing this for the 1st time, I already posted this wagon from photos from another website because that site did a good job with photos and the basics of the story, but the prima donna was upset I didn't get her permission to share with you her cool story and post, and zapped me an email telling me off for not "asking permission" to use her photos. So I pulled those photos and credit to the little princesses site (if you'd met her, you'd agree) and instead, did this cool wagon over a Vette chassis justice with a proper post of what this car maker has accomplished, where he's brought the wagon, the trophy he won, and the full magazine feature he's been given for his car's outstanding craftsmanship.

But her attitude? Nasty.
Well, ain't that a bitch. Try and share with my readers what a cool car she found and she blows a gasket.

But get this...

here is her incredibly fast and mistaken reply:

Please check yourself. I don't appreciate the comment on your site calling me a bitch. That is totally inappropriate and uncalled for. I never asked for you to take it down. I simply asked for you to come to me first before illegally downloading my images. I didn't want to have to involve my lawyers. I have a reputation to uphold, and I'd appreciate you not calling me derogatory names online. 
I'm not sure where you get off speaking to a fellow enthusiast the way you have. I don't remember meeting you and I was probably too new in the industry when I did to realize you meant downloading my images. And to be honest, I find your response to be more immature than the polite e-mail I sent. 
Take down the post you just put up. I don't want to have to involve my lawyer. But I will if necessary

Daddy's lil princess trotted out the ol lawyer threat. Ha! If she even bothered daddy's lawyer with this, they'd laugh her out of their office, and charge her dad an hour just for having to put up with her whiny overpriveldged attitude

the Fairlane GT a Go Go, by Gene Winfield! 1966 Chicago Auto Show


Ford Fairlane “GT A Go Go ” on display at the 1966 Chicago Auto Show. It was a tastefully modified two-door hardtop designed by the Corporate Projects Studio and built in California by customizer Gene Winfield.

The unique exhaust system on the 390 V-8 engine allowed for street or track driving. During competition, the driver switched a cutout sending the exhaust through tuned straight pipes with outlets in the rocker panel molding, ahead of the rear wheels.

Finished in a white metallic paint, the body was accented by blue racing stripes that ran the full length of the hood, roof and trunk lid.

Notice the small Tigers above the Fairlane badge... representing GTO tigers beaten at races? Is that the Playboy bunny between the tigers?
