This is the 3rd straight year that my wife and I have made the trek up to the Detroit Autorama. It seems that almost every year, we have to fight the weather conditions, but it is ALWAYS worth the drive. SOOO many cool vehicles, like this sweet Chevy Impala.
Why don't the big three take a listen to consumers?!?!?! I've ALWAYS argued that Chrysler made a mistake with the Plymouth Prowler. They built a VERY cool modern hotrod roadster. However they put a little 6 cylinder under the hood. I've also always said, "Someone should take a Prowler and 'beef' it up." Well, imagine my delight when I looked over this sweet little red Prowler with a HEMI under the hood!
Well, here is another place were the Big 3 should have listened. I saw three different custom Pontiac Trans Am/Firebirds built from a new Chevrolet Camaro. There are a lot of diehard Pontiac fans out there that would have loved to own a new Trans Am!
I was a bit disappointed when I got home and looked through my pictures. This is the first year I've taken my new camera to Detroit. Looks like I need to read up on how to adjust for the lighting they have in the Cobo Center. Lots of my pictures came out a little light. Nonetheless....this '57 Chevrolet was VERY kool...(although my car club buddy who owns a chrome plating business would not have thought so. For some reason he doesn't like it when a car has painted bumpers/grilles/trim/etc. :)
Peroxide Blonde in a Hopped-Up Model Ford - Brian Setzer
Well I went out a cattin’ on a Friday night
I was dressed to kill, I wasn’t lookin’ for a fight.
I looked in the mirror, just a waitin’ for the light,
I saw a hot chick that really looked right.
I’m draggin’, draggin’ down main once more,
With a peroxide blonde in a hopped up Model Ford.
Now I’m draggin’, draggin’ down main once more,
With a peroxide blonde in a hopped up Model Ford.
Well I pulled on over, she asked me for a ride,
She moved real close, side by side.
I looked out the window and to my surprise,
It was a hot rod Ford just a passin’ me by.
I’m draggin’, draggin’ down main once more,
With a peroxide blonde in a hopped up Model Ford.
Well we drove down Main, just to make a scene.
I barked my tire when the light turned green.
I slapped it to the floor, let out on the clutch.
What was left on the road, well it wasn’t very much.
We flew out of town, we were side by side,
Twin carburetors were open wide.
Tires that smoked, engine started to whine
I tell ya, that blonde left me way behind.
I’m draggin’, draggin’ down main once more,
With a peroxide blonde in a hopped up Model Ford.
Now I’m never, never ever, draggin’ down Main no more,
With a peroxide blonde in a hopped up Model Ford.
