Video: Edelbrock’s 8th Annual Revved Up 4 Kids Car Show – RodAuthority.com.
Some great cars at the Edelbrock Kids Car show (which kids – big kids? both!!!)
I love his Malibu!!! Under appreciated when they came out and still today they are more often thought of as the lesser brother the the Chevelle.
Cragger and the like. Great looking car.
Update: First drawing is July 15, 2013.
I haven’t held a contest in a long time. So it’s way over due and I have a lot of model cars and DVDs to handout.
So here is what I’m going to do.
I going to take the next 20 individuals that register with Average Guys’ Car Restoration, Mods and Racing and toss them into a virtual hat and pick 10 winners. They will receive one of 10 Motor Mint model antique cars.
You just need a valid email address to register at https://www.average-guys-car-restoration-mods-racing.com and you will be entered to win. If you comment on one of the articles, you’ll be entered twice.
I never share personal information with anyone and no one but myself has access to your email.
Good luck and thanks for reading.

I love book and the movie, and I even started considering collecting one. When I was a kid (back in the early 70’s) across the road from our house, in a field, sat an old Plymouth Fury – can’t recall cars year but it did have fins.
I remember asking my Dad why we didn’t drive it and he said it needed a carburetor. It seemed in my young mind’s eye that the carburetor wasn’t much more than a can looking thing with a butterfly looking think in the middle. So I fashioned one out of a soup can and the metal dividers in an ice cube maker – yes kids it was before ice fell from a frig with a push of a button.
Stephen King said he chose a 1958 Plymouth Fury to play the inhuman title character in his book from the year prior because Furys “were the most mundane Fifties car that I could remember. I didn’t want a car that already had a legend attached to it like the fifties Thunderbird, the Ford Galaxies etc… Nobody ever talked about the Plymouth products.”
Enjoy this article at the link below (and go pick up a Hemmings periodical). You’ll love them.

Normally, I do a Auto Factoid piece and you’d find a entry that would say on May 14, 1969 the last Corvair rolled off the factory line.
Some folks loved the car and many collectors still do. There were a few that really disliked the car for various reasons and one guy in particular, Ralph Nader, believed they represented all that was wrong with the U.S. auto industry. Although he may not have single-handedly contributed the end of the Corvair’s production, many believe he was instrumental in it’s early demise.
That’s why in a border town car show in Nogales, AZ I found this humorous:
What’s funny about a 1966 Corvair?
How about the Ralph Nader for President bumper sticker?

There was a time in Ford history where the same car carried several names at one time. This was my favorite car at this show. The Ford Starliner also carried the name Galaxy (the Fairlane also carried the Galaxy name). This one is a beautiful 1960 Starline and I love it.
Enjoy the pics.
’60 Starliner – great looking interior
Great Lines – imitation turbine taillights

Just down the street is a new eating establishment. From the outside it looks odd, until you realize that the shape on the roof is a car air filter. On the inside it’s very unique.
While dinning you are sitting slightly above and do the West of a very large working garage. The glass walls allow patrons to view the projects that range from a built from scratch race platform (not yet a car but tube framed out), a Cobra body – mostly likely a kit, any early 1900 Ford, a 50’s Chevy and few other.
It has a great atmosphere with lots of car and racing memorabilia (with a complete Sprint and drag car) and lots of TVs tuned to all types of sports. Food is good and prices are reasonable.
Hot Rods
