Outstanding! and it's cool...
A good bud has a '54 Century hardtop for sale. Is even the same two tone color scheme, aqua and red oxide! It has a bit more "patina" than yours, specially in the floors.
Hey, good luck and have a great time.

fixed that.

I'm not into the whole rockabilly scene or the ratrod garbage. I prefer well built cars. I think I just needed to have a reason to get the car out on the road. and it was worth it. I will probably be more ambitious next year and drive to Lone Star Roundup in Austin TX or to the West Coast Kustoms show in Santa Maria CA. Those are a little more my style. good times though for sure.

Great pics!
Your buddies Chevy reminds me of the 54 I had, Black, 210 sedan, full factory chrome package, factory skirts, stovebolt & a glide. I should have kept that car but the 65 Chrysler 300L I traded it for was very cool too.

Looks like perfect cruising weather & a fun car to do it in! :thumright:

Good lookin' cars at that show.

Man, I see they haven't finished that bridge yet at the Hoover dam. They have been working on that forever, it seems...about 6 years, that I know of.
At least you got plenty of damn pictures of the damn Dam. :lol:
