May 31, 2012

Wrapping up the coverage from the first Fitted event today with some more Euros, Subarus, IS300s, VIP cars, Domestics, and Nissans.

Hats off to the crew at Stretch & Poke for organizing and hosting such a great start to their season, of course they have no time to sit back and reflect on their accomplishments as they are back at it Sunday at CSCS.

Euro

A couple European cars managed to make their way over to today’s coverage.

Subarus

Unrelated to Stretch & Poke but the TSC Spring Fling is taking place this weekend in Burlington for all you Subaru heads.

subaru_wag1 — It seems like I only see this wagon once a year, the front end has come down some since I saw it last

subaru_perf — No stretch, no poke, just a purpose built Subaru

JP's car sans a few unnecessary cosmetic pieces

Mazdas

mazda_miata_cj — Chris sold his Subaru and picked up this Miata over the winter, these XXRs are temporary as far as I know

mazda_miata2 — A boosted Miata that is the perfect balance between function and form

mazda_fb — Got a chance to talk to the owner of this RX-7 for awhile, visually it looks very similar to last year but underneath is a new suspension setup that actually gives him more travel

Infiniti

Jeff and Blain are now on another level, I should start calling them the untouchables, two of the best looking G’s in the city.

infiniti_jeff — Jeff's also switched up his wheels over the winter

infinit_jeff2 — They suit the car perfect

Liberty

Toronto’s Liberty VIP members on point as usual.

brett_yudi — Yudi showing his B side and Brett bringing his A game

lexus_Brett — Ride low park lower, you will never catch Brett fully aired up

aidan_blain — Aidan's car is parked in basically the same spot every time

IS300s

The amount of nice IS300s at this event was a little surprising honestly.

lexus_is300_wrap — Fairly sure this car will be out sliding on Sunday at CSCS

lexus_is300_wht — Where did this one come from!? Very impressed looks terrific

Domestics

ford_monstour — Probably one of the lowest Contour SVTs you will ever see, or Mondeo depending on where you are from

chevy_cobalt — There's currently a debate about painted lettering on Stance Works, I don't mind this

chevy_cav_jeff — Jeff said if he didn't get impounded or break an oil pan he would be at the meet. Then he broke his pan (in the US no less), fixed it, skipped sleeping, and came out anyway, dedication.

Hondas

honda_ruk — These look cool sitting but I always find people look awkward riding them... might just be me though

honda_prelude — I love these 3-pc Enkei wheels, kind of hard to come by, but so much potential as seen here

honda_s2000_dan — Dan on his newest set of Works

honda_civic_brian — Brain hood less like always

honda_s2000 — The opposite end of the s2000 I posted on Tuesday

Nissan

nissan_240_volks — Clean black paint on a straight body is a hard thing to beat

nissan_skyline_wide_front — Tons of rumors circling around about what is going to happen with this car in regards to fitment

nissan_skyline_wide_rear — I'd hate to see unpainted flares covering up that paint but at the same time this looks awkward

nissan_skyline — This on the other hand is basically perfect

nissan_dylan2 — Pictures do not really do this car justice

nissan_dylan — The owner commented Tuesday saying that the car normally doesn't run this much camber

nissan_dylan3 — I could see it looking even cleaner with camber that matches the front

The next Stretch & Pokee event is this Sunday, where these are up for grabs.

Dammit Chris…

Event Coverage: Stretch & Poke: Fitted-1 Pt.1

One of the most anticipated events of the first half of the summer season was the first ‘Fitted’ event and Downsview Park put on by Stretch & Poke.

Everyone expected it to be big but I don’t think I was the only one who rolled up and was shocked at the turnout.

I’ve been to a few events at Downsview before and the last one I can remember on anything close to a similar scale was probably Honda Tech in 2009, but that was so long ago my memory can’t be counted on.

The low/aggressive fitment crowd in Toronto has grown so much since the initial Stretch & Poke event at Dave & Busters that it is almost hard to comprehend, all those are wishing for this ‘fad’ to roll over and die are going to be waiting a few more years yet.

Coverage of this event will be broken into two parts with this is actually the lighter of the two.

VWs

As a title sponsor of the event all of the core idub.ca members came out in along with a number of other local VAG enthusiasts.

vw_jetta_golf — I think these two cars were from a' Insufficient Funds'

vw_racks — I've already said all I am going to about the bike thing on facebook, but I am curious how long the wheels in the foreground took

vw_monolo — This car pops up in threads all over the place online

vw_wht — Justin's winter wheels > a whole lot of peoples summers

vw_wht_air — Beautiful trunk setup! Simple and tidy

vw_bassman_josh — Josh's MKV as clean as ever

BMWS

There were quite a few nice BMWs at Downsview last Sunday with Stance Factory having some part in a a lot of them. Jay’s car and his new ‘Lexington Steelies’ were quite a hit but the e30 m3 on HRE’s below?

Ridiculous.

bmw_528e — Eta on what look to be Gottis

bmw_basit — The Importfest 6, first time I have personally seen it outside

bmw_e30 — Carman's e30 proving that not all Bronzit's are destined to an early doom

bmw_monolo — Justin wasn't the only one on sick looking winter wheels

bmw_e36_will — The best BMX bike at the event was IN this car not on top, real rider.

bmw_sam — Sam is perhaps the only other car in the area on BC wheels, the red with his paint is perfect

bmw_jay — Jay told me the specs of these wheels but all I heard was big, and BIGGER

bmw_e30_m3_front — Probably the classiest car of the entire event

bmw_e30_m3_rear — Period correct but still more than enough to show us all who's boss

Benz Coupe

This car was apparently finished hours before ‘Fitted’ was set to begin, and somehow I had never heard about this build prior to fitted.

Only one picture of this car because shortly after seeing it I got a chance to drive and FR-S thanks to Alex Pascua and Scarborough Scion which was an unexpected surprise.

It’s been awhile since I’ve been behind the wheel of a RWD car so I didn’t do anything to outrageous I can say that this car lives up to the hype behind the wheel.

scion_1 — Can't wait for people to start modding these

scion_3 — The 'flippy paddles' took a little to get used too

scion_2 — Hats off to Scion for bringing these out to events, marketing is doing it's job

Scraped Crusaders

The Scraped Crusaders get close out honors today, always doing things right.

subaru_gil — Gil's latest set of BBS wheels, I think these suit his car the best out of all the wheels I have seen, though the steels were pretty bad ass

bmw_e30_steve_1 — Steve's e30 from the build thread Theme Tuesday last week

bmw_e30_steve_motor — People are finally starting to notice what is under the hood

bmw_e30_steve_roll — Exactly how an e30 should look

That’s all for today but if you are wondering what more there is for tomorrow, here’s a peak.

Stay tuned.

Theme Tuesdays: Dat Ass – Fitted Edition

May 29, 2012

This Tuesday I’ve opted to bring back the ever popular ‘Dat Ass’ theme but fill it with only cars that were at Sundays ‘Fitted’ event put on by Stretch & Poke.

Gathering this Theme Tuesday took second priority to capturing as much of the event as possible so I might have missed a few significant rear ends but there is still a good amount of variety and the last picture is sure to draw some controversy.

nissan350 — One of the best 350z in the city... in my opinion of course

blain — Blain's car is now on air, suits it very well

honda_gold — The famous Acura clipped hatch

moonman — This car looks strikingly similar to another car in the area from the rear

steve — Steve's e30 always has a crowd around it

audi_tt — Wish I took the bottle off the rear of this

phil — Phil's gone crazy with his car this year.

Risked getting run over by a smart car for this shot, so really no risk at all

dylan — I love how you can see exactly how much tire is actually used based on dust ha

blue_skyline — And I am honestly hoping the same for this

More ‘Fitted’ coverage to come… this is just the beginning.

Guest Coverage: Gumball 3000 2012 Toronto Stop

I arrived in the Bloor-Yorkville area around 9:30pm and walked to the Park Hyatt hotel, where I believe the Gumballer’s were spending the night.

Three streets had been shut down across from the hotel to allow a U-shaped row for the Gumball cars to park and rev their engines for the crowd. Their cars were fenced off from the public, and rightfully so – the place was packed.

A few civilian cars managed to slip by and got turned back at the checkpoint. These cars included a Shelby Cobra, a Fisker Karma, and even a guy in a motorized wheelchair drinking a beer.

The cops didn’t seem to mind though and were actually pretty cool the entire night, one even cringed after the Nissan GT-R let the rear loose, she nonchalantly remarked with a bit of a chuckle that she thought he was going to crash.

gumb_above — The view of Yorkville Avenue from the parking garage roof

gumb_above2 — The view of Cumberland Street from the parking garage roof

Eventually the arrival area got too packed, so I went cut through the garage located between the two closed-off streets to find a new location. In the garage were a few intersting local cars like a Lamborghini Gallardo, LP-640 “Interceptor”, Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale, a stanced G35, and an Audi S8 with an R8 front end plus tons of Carbon Fiber.

Lots of other random nice local cars were in the area from other local patrons including imports, domestics, exotics, and even lowriders. There were also a lot of motorcycles that came out to the event and their exhaust notes echoing off buildings made judging the Gumballer arrivals a bit harder.

other_interceptor — This LP640 can be spotted all over the Toronto area

other_interceptor2 — I'm sure very few mistake this for a cop car

other_audi_forgito — R8 Front and S8 Rear?

After shooting all the cars on the street, I took some shots from the roof and as I was heading down a garage employee ended up giving me a lift in his golf cart which put me at ground level just in time for the loudest arrival of the night by none other than, The Dudesons.

They arrived redlining their bright yellow “Dudeson’s Lifeguard” Nissan and hanging out the window clad in bright yellow monkey suits and swim gear.

gumb_e46 — Lutz Performance M3 looked real nice

gumb_olson — Stormtroopers Audi R8 - Jon Olsson is a lucky man

gumb_lamb — Beautiful Team Galag Lamborghini Reventon

gumb_benz — Equally stuning Team Galag SLS AMG

Around 1:30 after all of the Gumballers arrived I packed up to head hone.

Overall, the night was fun and an awesome display of high-performance exotics, but it left me wishing I had $40,000 and a team of traffic lawyers to allow me to compete in the rally next year. One day.

Event Coverage: Hot Wheelz Customer Appreciation

May 28, 2012

This entire week will be full of event and guest event coverage so if you often check the site from your phone you’ve been warned.

Leading off the week of is coverage from the Hot Wheelz & Tirez customer appreciation show & shine that took place on Saturday at Hot Wheelz & Tirez in Mississauga.

Sic Ryde, Street Concepts, promoted this event along with the Hot Wheelz staff which drew a lot of the west end cars out.

The free, unlimited BBQ, was a definite highlight of the show with Sic pulling out all the stops and buying top quality burger patties for the event, I’m not sure what brand they were but they were delicious.

Free eats aside another small detail that stood out were the unique trophies pictured below, I know a lot of people who the more typical plastic trophies just throw them out after a few months so something like this people are much more likely to keep.

sic_trophies — Much cooler than your standard plastic trophy

Kiwee’s Flex

Over the winter Kilian (Kiwee) completely ripped out the air ride setup he had in the car last year and redid it which put it right on the floor where it belongs, he also painted the wheels which really brings the vehicle together infinitely better than they did last year.

A lot of you thought the same on facebook as well, I may end up shooting more photos of this sooner rather than later…

ford_flex4 — The reverse rake from last year is now a thing of the past

ford_flex5 — Air management setup was also completely redone

ford_flex3 — Color matched lips are vastly superior to the chrome before it

Domestics

Moving on to some of the other domestics I shot at the show.

cav — I parked beside this car at ride height then came back to find it aired out making me look like a 4x4. Damn.

cav_trunk — I figured I might as well look at the setup while I was getting schooled

ford_ranger — This was honestly one of the exterior brightest colors I have seen

pontiac_solstice — This Solstice is one of very few cars in the area on BC wheels... not sure they took off like BC hoped

Euro

The euro turnout was a little on the smaller side but consisted of a solid group of very tastefully modified cars.

vw_vr6 — This MKIII was just passing through but very clean

porsche — Sic's Porsche of which I expect big things in the future

audi_ccw — The A3 is on my shortlist of future cars, the owner of this one let me know what motors to avoid

vw_overboost1 — One of these day's I'll have to find out kind of horse power numbers this car is putting down, always been curious

vw_overboost — He took home the Street Concepts 'tanked' award

Fiat 500

In addition to Kiwi’s flex many of you were also interested in this Fiat 500 the second I posted it on the fanpage.

It’s cool to see someone jump in with both feet on what is still a relatively new platform.

fiat_1 — Cops probably love the red fogs and halos

fiat_2 — I will not spoil the surprise but new wheels are on the way

Imports

Japanese Imports are always out in force at any show in the GTA and Hot Wheelz and tires wasn’t really any different.

honda_flare — I foresee issues with this setup down the road knowing Honda quarters

honda_sonic1 — Lick Your Lips actually took home best team

honda_sonic2 — Sonic 2 > All... actually Sonic and Knuckles is alright too

acura_wb — If I am not mistaken the last time I saw this BC wide body RSX was at Rish's BBQ in 2010, had different wheels then

toyota_matrix — One of the better fitted Matrix's I have seen

mazda_rx7 — Seeing people out of context is such a trip, I actually ride with the owner of this car

honda_rsx_side — This RSX was pretty clean

acura_tl_front — As was this TL which is a regular at events around here

acura_tl_rear — I have always liked how 19-inch WORK Varianza's fit this car, nice luxury sport style

team_jh — Behind the Acura was Team JH who was on hand spectating

ryan_steve — The wheels in the foreground are for sale if anyone is interested

infiniti_g35_front — This Infiniti took home best of show I beleive... I waited until it was all closed up to get a picture that did it justice

infiniti_g35_rear — Vossen wheels are popping up everywhere these days

if_2 — Very, very, complete build aesthetically and I wouldn't be surprised if there were equally impressive mods underhood

if_3 — Just the right amount of teal to set it off without being gaudy

Luxury and VIP

I’m going to close out the Hot Wheelz coverage with a few of the Luxury and VIP vehicles.

sic_1 — If Sic is not in the dually (Sic Load) he is in this

Both Yudi and Brett were reppin’ hard for Liberty VIP, Yudi with his A side/B side look and Brett with almost complete makeover as seen on Liberty VIP’s blog.

brett_3 — The LS460 retrofit bumper works very nicely with the car and updates it as well

brett_2 — In addition to modifying his front and rear bumpers he also smoothed out his fenders

This week is just getting started, look out for some guest Gumball 3000 coverage later today!

WTF Friday: Nashty

I mentioned in Mondays coverage from the Street Classics season opener that the teal Nash Metropolitan present was the first I had seen in some time in stock form motor and all.

Most of the Nash Metropolitans visible online and at shows (at least in my experience) are heavily modified just like this one currently up for auction on ebay.

Up for 30,000, with a current high bid around half that, this 2010 Hot Rod Magazine featured ’54 convertible is really more custom than it is Nash.

Sitting on a square tube chassis with Mustang II front end, and custom ladder bar rear end, this Nash sports an LS1 where the factory double digit horsepower motor used to live the.

Bags, 17×8 and 17×10 Torque Thrusts, a black interior with a satin black exterior, complete the car and the owner states i gets around 25 MPG highway.

This is one of the nicest and most street-able looking modified Metropolitans I have ever seen’ the only thing that’s got me a little puzzled is the retention fifth wheel on the back which seems a little out of place after all of the other modifications.

If you’ve got deep pockets it is still up for grabs.

Thanks to Cody for the tip.

Site Updates

Shows on shows, on shows this weekend.

First up the Gumball 3000 is in town and rolling through Yorkville, and though I can’t make it this year but I should be able to get some coverage up for you thanks to a helpful reader on twitter.

Saturday I will be at the Hot WHeelz and Tirez customer appreciation event:

While Sunday I will be at Stretch and Poke (weather permitting):

Also happening Sunday is this Summer Sizzle 4:

Since the Gumball is back in town lets go back to the last time they were here which was 2010.

More 2010 Gumball coverage here.

I will have some of the store stock with me all weekend for those who want to pick stuff up.

I feel as though at any time you could say “Dan recently got new wheels” and stand a 70% chance of being right.

Dan being a member of Level One, and the owner of the yellow s2000 you have probably seen on Tuned-Life, Stretch & Poke, and Stance Nation, in addition to event coverage here.

Non locals probably have no idea how often he changes wheels so here is a quick photo run down starting with his latest set all the way back to the earliest I can remember, including his previous s2000 from the first ever Stretch And Poke Meet in 2010.

The craziest thing is I feel like missed one…

Looks like gabrielb25 from jdmrides caught Pfaff Tunning’s 964 project out in the wild on Sunday.

Erik has been keeping me updated on this project since the beginning but these photos really do a good job of showcasing just how nice this car came out.

If you want more info on this car check out Pfaff Tunings facebook page that basically outlines the entire build.

Hopefully I can catch up with it soon….

Theme Tuesdays: Local Builds Part 1

By

DaveT

-

May 22, 2012

It’s been awhile since a build thread has appeared here, and with the season almost completely in full swing today seemed like the perfect time to post some of the local builds I’ve been following.

I wouldn’t be surprised if a couple of these builds are at the first Stretch & Poke event on Sunday.

Jeff’s Cavalier

Leading off with a Cavalier is a little risky but hear me out, this one is low, tubbed, and boosted and the owner isn’t taking the build to serious at all.

At the same time he isn’t doing anything half-assed, it’s an interesting balance really.

The thread has taught me that both Camaro and Neon brakes can be swapped into Cavaliers information which I am sure might come in handy one day in some sort of trivia game.

Maybe not…

Bulild thread

1JZ E30

It seems like the dominance of the m50 swap is over because people are way more creative with their e30 motor swaps nowadays, especially locally.

The first of two Japanese powered e30s posted today borrows it’s motor from a Supra.

The owner has been taking his time with the build making sure everything doesn’t come apart on the first shakedown and it recently came out of paint so chances are it will be road ready sooner rather than later…

Build Thread

Steve’s E30

The second local e30 powered by a Japanese power plant belongs to Steve who is a member of the Scraped Crusaders.

He had this car running near the end of last year season (most notably at h20i) but he’s done a ton of work to it since then including freshening up the bay, swapping out the suspension, and adding new wheels.

Looking forward to seeing this car around again this year.

Build Thread

JP’s WRX

Like Steve’s car above this was Subaru was also out and about last year after JP finished the initial build which included shaving the trunk, installing v9 STI side skirts, HSD coils, and OZ Futura wheels.

Everything seemed great until the motor spun a bearing last October. That incident turned out to be a blessing in disguise as JP has used it as an excuse to basically completly redo the motor starting with an STI swap and ending with an exterior makeover.

Somehow he is doing all of this while starting a new powder coating business and going to school.

Build Thread

Liam’s Cefiro

This build is most likely pretty fresh in your minds as I posted about it not too long ago, but if you didn’t see that post this insanely awesome sedan was built by Liam of Dorimoto.

Though heaviest lifting is done the build thread is worth a read, this car is on the road and I would be surprised if I don’t see it Sunday.

Build Thread

Oliver’s 72 240

Oliver, the other half (or is it other quarter? I’m not sure anymore), of Dorimoto is building this RB20DET powered 72 Datsun 240.

This car started out really rough but he has done an outstanding job of turning it around and considering this photo of it unfinished took facebook by storm awhile back it’s safe to it will be a big deal when it is complete.

And to think at one point he wanted to sell it.

Build Thread

Weirtech’s RWD CRX

Linking to a build thread that is nearly 50% broken images isn’t the type of thing I would normally do but, this happens to be a RWD turbo f20 powered CRX built by one of the best fabricators in the city so I will let it slide.

This build is moving fairly slow as he is often busy with other peoples projects but the updates are always worth the wait.

Build Thread

Tim’s Batmobile

How could I not include this build? A bagged Tim Burton era Batmobile built by one of the nicest enthusiasts I’ve ever met?

Easily one of the most unique builds I have ever followed and perhaps the best uses of a Chevrolet Caprice ever.

Build Homepage

Rudy’s 2002

Just when you thought this post was all wicked daily drivers and the occasional pop culture car here is a dedicated track build by a well known local e30 nut.

Rudy has been building this car for what seems like forever (2008) and his thread goes wildly off topic at times but this project recently started to resemble a car and as of about a week ago had it’s first go around the track.

I think a 2.0 m10 that has been converted to fuel injection sits under the hood right now with plans of boost (Callaway setup) in the future.

Build Thread

Street’s Alfa Romeo Spider

I have been following this Alfa Romeo Spider build since January 1st 2011 and somehow just realized it was local.

In my defense I was so flabbergasted at the amount of fabrication and attention to detail put into literally every part of this car that small details like license places and area codes lurking in the background didn’t even register (read sometimes I am a little slow).

The builders attitude is awesome and he takes the time to address everyone who responds in the thread which is rare.

Purists are mad.

Build Thread

Chopshop’s AWD Jetta Coupe

Kevin of ChopShop decided that if Volkswagen wasn’t going to make the car he wanted he was going to do it his damn self so he started cutting up his already awesome Jetta to make it a 2dr. bagged, boosted, awd monster.

The amount of work into this car already is baffling and it’s really only the tip of the iceberg knowing what he is capable of.

Not sure if he has a completion date in mind but I haven’t seen him at Joyride for awhile so who knows…

Build Thread

Going to end it with Kevin’s build lest this post go on forever but I’ve got a few threads earmarked for part two, if you have one I should be aware of just send an email through.

Event Coverage: 2012 Street Classics Season Opener

By

DaveT

May 21, 2012

The 2012 Street Classics season offically started this past Saturday May 19th at the usual Canadian Tire Etobicoke location.

Over the winter a number of retail shops opened which has shifted things a little bit in regards to organization but thankfully the entire cruise in didn’t move.

Saturday was that perfect ‘not too hot not too cold’ evening weather which made for an excellent turn out and as I mentioned on Friday I took my father with me to give him a chance to relive his glory days as an enthusiast.

chevy_van2 — While I'll take pictures of 70s van interiors I don't think I am adventurous enough to ever set foot in one without a hazmat suit

chevy_van — Close up of the awesome mural

nash_metro — The first Nash Metropolitan I have seen in some time that actually has it's factory motor

daddyfatstacks — Caddy on bags with "Daddy" on the drivers door rollin through...

There’s always a number of interesting late model cars that come out to these events, more often than not ones I do not see at other venues.

aston_martin — Aston did a great job designing this car, aggressive and classy

corvette — This car looks like it means business I wonder if the owner tracks it

corvette_rear — While I love these tails I am sure glad that they stopped showing up on trucks

About four or five Vipers showed up this week, which started a debate with my dad and I, what burns more gas at the end of the day a strip ready classic, or standard trim Viper?

dodge_viper1 — Accurate plate is accurate

Of course Vipers were not the only snakes with venom at the meet…

This sled that represents for the Lead Kings car club is a car I never tire of seeing, the miles of grime accumulated inside that cavernous grill is a good indicator this car gets driven.

cutitupfront — Hubs and whites time and time again a winner with the right height

cutitupshifter — Not sure if this is new or I had just now noticed it

americanstance — The many shades of classic stance

Two cars before I came along and ruined everything my old man owned a Thunderbird so he pointed this one out.

ford_thunderbird2 — The textured blue continued into the (gutted) interior

ford_thunderbird — Not your standard wheel setup thats for sure... SRT wheels up front I think

If you are anti General Motors you may want to keep scrolling because here comes that aforementioned clump of GMS.

pontiac_transam1 — An incredibly clean 76 Trans Am

chevy_impala — Dale always brings out his previously featured Impala

chevy_camaropg131 — Strip ready second gen Camaro

chevy_camaropg132 — Interesting plate...

chevy_elcamino1 — Perhaps the best looking of this generation El Camino I have ever seen in person

chevy_elcamino2 — Never really occurred to me just how long these are

chevy_nova2 — In addition to one of the sweetest paint colors ever...

chevy_nova1 — This Nova also has an immaculate engine bay

chevy_vega1 — Another ridiculous car creation by A&d Performance in Brampton

chevy_vega2 — I can not imagine how this is to send down the strip

One of the main reasons I enjoy attending Street Classics events, and classic cars shows in general, is because I always wind up stumbling across a vehicle I have either never seen in person before, or just plain didn’t know existed.

Sitting almost at the outskirts of this weeks event was a Lamborghini Espada, which was one of those cars.

lambo_espeda_front — More accustom to their sports cars I found this one rather unusaul

lambo_espeda_front2 — However don't take that to mean I didn't like it

lambo_espeda_rear — Unique lines all around

lambo_espeda_int — Evidently each model of this cars interior changed drastically from one year to the next

lambo_espeda_motor — The owner was chatting about replacement parts for this car.... he must have a stash of arms and legs

While the Lamborghini above was a treat this Cadillac was the car of the meet in my eyes. I spent a great deal of time looking admiring this car and waiting to see if I could get a few snaps f it from a far.

Next time I see it I am going to have to seek out the owner, I would love to shoot this car on it’s own.

caddy_front — The interior was actually wrapped in plastic like a couch in the 80s to keep it spotless

caddy_int — The interior was actually wrapped in plastic like a couch in the 80s

caddy_side — Almost completely on the floor....

This year I hope to swing by more Street Classics events then I did last year, the next will probably be mid June.
