37th NSRA Street Rod Nationals - Alter-Nats

Slick and trick is the only way to describe David Dickinson's tastefully modified '39 Buick convertible.

The bronze paint on Jim Pearsall's '39 Oldsmobile can't help but grab your attention as it glows under the sun.

John Gardner has his '34 Plymouth sedan sitting just right on a set of wide whites, perfectly set off by the bright yellow paint.

The Nats is the place to come if you're looking for rodded luxury models. Terry and Trinka Treneff rodded a rare '38 Packard.

Dave and Sue Sylvain are proud of the fact that their '34 Chevrolet cabriolet is all steel underneath the rich Brandywine paint.

Danny Bolender gave Bow Tie fans something to get excited about with his '38 Chevy coupe.

Joe Wagner's elegant '39 Cadillac sedan looks like the perfect people mover for those long trips.

Recently awoken from a 40-plus-year slumber in a leaky barn, this '31 Chevrolet cabriolet was ready for a new, more caring, home for $22,000.

Restorers would have cringed years ago at the thought of rodding a luxurious early Cadillac sedan, but as moods change, it just makes more sense to modify these classics and actually use them rather than let them sit as stockers in collections.
