A few high lights from Hot August Nights

Now, I am not so much into the cars represented at the Hot August Nights events, but there were a few nice one's that stood out from the rest. Hot August Nights events only allow cars from the 50s and 60s. I think maybe up to 1970 or something, which to me, is right before when I really started liking cars. So that kind of makes things a little boring for me, since most of the cars are not really all that "cool" to me. I really don't understand why anyone in their right mind would paint a car powder blue, or pink and purple, or lime green. But I guess that's how it was back then??? Anyway, the following photos are of a few things that caught my eye.






One of the cooler looking 'rat rods' at the show.






Tough looking Chevy.


This thing was awesome.  I love the black eggshell paintjob.


Another black eggshell paintjob.  I love the low sheen stuff.


Yes, another, but wtf is with the rainbow colored seats???




And a perfect example of what I mean.  A GORGEOUS Mustang...but it's POWDER BLUE.  It just
KILLS all the meanness this car is made of.


I heart old Broncos.


Now, here's a nicely done Firebird.


And another wicked matte black paint job.


And another cool rat mobile...save for the newish looking wheels.




Now, this thing had a terra cotta flat paint job, looked kinda cool, but as usual, would be better in black.


Sweet.


Wicked, but lime green.... :/>

Joe Dirt.






Now this car looks like the Bat Mobile...I like it.
