In the morning it was off to the Expo Center. The place was packed with traditional rods and tons of people. It seemed that the most popular booth at the show belonged to Austin Speed Shop.
There was a good size swap meet held at the expo center as well. I cruised the aisles looking for cool stuff for my garage, but unfortunately did not find anything that I could fit into my suitcase.
This is actually the side of an old Chevy Suburban. A local license plate seller covered his old SUV in registration tags.



The weather wasn't the greatest, but there were still plenty of people and classic cars.
This Hi-Boy Coupe is prepared for anything.
Like most traditional rod shows there were a lot of 50's Customs and '32 Fords, but it was great to see a lot of cars from Texas that I hadn't seen before at any West Coast events.

This pickup has its own parking meter and a pair of metal armadillos.
There was a stage outside that featured popular rock n' roll groups throughout the day.

This show doesn't just attract hot rods with primer paint or rust. There were plenty of colorful and unique paint jobs on display.

Check out this custom interior. The white leather interior looks great, but the custom baby seat in the back to match was too cool.
A highlight of Saturday was the afternoon mini bike races. Brave local mini biker riders took to the dirt to show just how fast (or slow) they could make it around the track.



There were plenty of cool cars with wide white wall tires and original paint on hand.



This is one way to get around Austin.
What's next? I will be out at the Mopar Spring Fling this coming weekend so stop by and say hello. You can get a complete list of events that California Car Cover will be attending on our website. If you live in the Los Angeles area, I will also be on air with "The Motorman" Leon Kaplan this coming Sunday morning on KABC radio.
