Grand National Roadster Show - Granddaddy Makes History ... Again

R&C did two "Daisy Duke" type covers with Pete & Jake-the first featured Jake's '34 along with the California Kid; the follow-up mimicked the original, but with Limefire and the "pre-Jacoupage" version of Jake's '29 tub. Thanks to Pete Chapouris, Jason Slover, and Jake Jacobs, we were able to have both covers represented in four-wheeled presence.

Among the prized pieces of art on display, Richard Munz brought the Neal East'32 roadster (in all its restored glory) that graced R&C's first "full-size" cover after the magazine had abandoned its "little pages" format.

Current caretaker Julian "Jules" Alvarez brought out past R&C editor Bud Bryan's '29 roadster, which was featured on the '71 Winter Quarterly, with another R&C alumni, Jim "Jake" Jacobs.

The Historic Race Car building was literally packed wall to wall with museum-quality rolling vintage art. Like the Hilborn car, the Eddie Miller Lakester was another piece of Bonneville history on hand for all to admire.

The Warth-Hilborn Streamliner is without a doubt one of landspeed racing's most important pieces of history-even if it doesn't exist any longer. Thanks to the Lattin brothers, people can appreciate the car's heritage with their beautiful replica of the record-setting racer.

On Saturday and Sunday, the Suede Palace expanded its perimeters beyond the building's walls-there were probably just as many, if not more, cars outside this year. Among them, Dave "Skittles" Cervantes' '60 El Camino.

The Suede Palace once again had plenty to offer, from satin to shiny and even some bare metal. Pauly Stone's dark green and gold scalloped Buick is a perfect example of the quality and style of cars on hand-nice, simple, and sensible!
