Vista Rod Run cool cars














This heavily cutomized Muntz Jet has been in more magazines than any other car I can think of.

Cool dashboard stuff

Possibly the best looking factory design I've seen all year


Above: More curved than an AMC dash! This is a '70 Galaxie 500... and I hadn't seen one before. The I noticed that the radio is on the left of the speedometer... how many left handed people cried out for the radio to be relocated for lefties?

Photo galley of the Hendricks Museum (one of the great private collections)

1930 "Model J Duesenberg LWB, Hibbard & Darrin Transformable Cabriolet". There were two made. One for the King of Spain and the other for William Randolph Hearst.
To contrast the ridiculously rare and expensive.... the following truck, which to me is equally as cool and unusual.
