what suicide desire causes an idiot to have just 3 lug nuts on his ride? Found at Viva Las Vegas

this is a front tire, worse than having a rear tire come off... lose a front tire and how bad would it get? I don't want to be there on the same road.

cool flames on a suede and chrome

For another source of a good gallery of the Viva Las Vegas: http://www.rodauthority.com/news/event-news/viva-las-vegas-rockabilly-weekender-in-sin-city/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=viva-las-vegas-rockabilly-weekender-in-sin-city

did DeSoto ever make a truck? I know that though they are rare, Plymouth, Packard, and Mercury did... but does anyone know if this is not factory made?

My award for most stunning paint at Viva Las Vegas 2013 goes to this car

I came across a "bug" atti at Viva Las Vegas

Why the windscreen is only in front of the passenger I don't know

Edsel car, what is the complaint? Looks cool to me!

More cool cars from Viva Las Vegas this past Saturday

 for contrast and comparison, the Pontiac above and below

 First time I've seen half a car lace painted... interesting

The above was just featured http://www.rodauthority.com/news/one-sweet-48-merc-cruiser-hits-the-streets/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=one-sweet-48-merc-cruiser-hits-the-streets  I saw it at SEMA this past year.. it's really good looking http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2012/11/nice-mercury-in-sema-infield.html

Might be a survivor of the WW2 era truck mod for gas rations, or just a cool custom built to honor that pick up bed on a early car look.

The most involved conversion for the 1940 Champion coupe was the "coupe delivery," or "pick-up coupe." This involved a cute cargo box measuring 31 inches wide and 18 inches high that could be slid into the trunk cavity as needed (the trunklid was furnished loose). There was even a tailgate with stamped-in "Studebaker" lettering. The box sold for just $25 in black, $26.50 if painted another color. 
Also Hudson at the same time offered a pull out pick up box "

Thanks SB! 

cool DeSoto paint and lettering

I've never seen an Invicta except at a car show, they sure are good looking when fixed up

this car has a lot of good things in small sizes, flamejob, pinstriping, scallop, and cool overall motif

great scallops on this 60 Chev that I mistook for a '59, but have been corrected.

good looking Chrysler station wagon, did they wear through the paint, then clear coat it? How'd it get so shiny, but so patina'd?

 

it's an overhead V8.. but it's incredibly clean!

how did they get this so clean? And no water spots!

really good looking station wagon, really cool subwoofer in the cooler!

more cool and unique stuff I photographed at Viva Las Vegas

isn't it ironic that a license plate touting the "Colorful" nature of it's state, should be so drab?

the right rims, set the car off just right

I don't think I've seen artillery wheels on a truck before
