Smart’s Auto Wrecking started out in Wenatchee Washington in 1955. With a passion for old cars Bud Smart helped keep those old rigs running by meticulously collecting, tagging and selling parts over the years. Smart’s is now closing down and selling the land. Before that happens Buds family want to preserve their Dads legacy by saving as many of these fine parts as possible by selling them to collectors. Everything has to go and whatever is not bought will be gone forever after being chewed up in the recycler.

Leaving Vegas in the angry SS Camaro I took the wrong ninety something highway trying to head south to the Salton Sea. Always take the long way and enjoy the ride because when you do you stumble upon the greatest of adventures. Its the desert so you can fly without worry and the SS was doing just fine at about 95, at 100 the convertible top would start to complain. Blasting through 93 and in the middle of what looked like the surface of the moon I whiz past a lil parking lot of heavenly American Iron.

Over at Hemmings they have a look at the last World War I Cadillac to be found and documented. A fascinating story of how a dedicated owner tracked down the history of his Caddy to uncover its ownership chain. No doubt this adds to the value of the car but more importantly it documents the history of Cadillacs used in World War I. Unfortunately most of these ground breaking and revolutionary cars where recycled after the war.

At some point in the long life of Bill Hines, the official honorary God and idol of Big Barkoz Speed Shop, he had no idea how to cut metal or sling around lead. How did he then get to his status as chop top legend and leading God? He taught himself. Onto the new generation of car kustomizers you can see this self taught process is still alive. Skoty Chops does an excellent and humble job of telling everyone how he got to where he is today, he went into the garage and figured it out.

The last XXX RootBeer Drive In in the USA hosts a car show every weekend in the summer. They sell alot of burgers and shakes to the crowds of car folks walking around and oogling at beautiful art and sometimes not art parked in the lot. My top show by far this year was the All Cadillac & LaSalle show. Enjoy the Caddy & LaSalle porn.

Todays sermon has the Reverend teaching us table manners. Pay attention as these fine ladies learn some proper food etiquette to go along with their fine rockabilly roar.

I might have to take a trip down to Lake Tapps and check out this stash, seems like a few gems could be hiding here. 15 Cars and Trucks. Most Restorable with Titles. Some with rebuilt engines and newer brakes. Plus a 30 year collection of parts. NONE RUN Several are just a few hunderd bucks from being streetable Prefer calls over text. I ran some of these as Daily Drivers over the years and had a great time.

I grew up watching NASCAR. I loved seeing the bumper to bumper banging action as the drivers plowed their way to win no matter the cost. But then the bumpers changed from metal to plastic. Once we lost the metal bumpers in NASCAR we also lost some of our car soul. I can trace the dying American car back to metal bumpers, when the metal left the soul left. We are now stuck with jellybean shaped, no soul having generic mobiles.

The featured marque of the 2013 show, the finest from Ford.

Double Clutching an International Harvester S100 Im lovin this vid! Its got great info on how to shift an old rig without grinding the shit outta the gears but its also a thing of beauty to see that old girl trying to hard to keep running. The worn out old International Harvester Wikipedia - International Harvester sounds groggy and grumpy but its trying hard to motor down the road. Notice the shift level setup.

The Reverend teaches us the sanctity of marriage in this cautious tale of revenge and sin.
