22nd Lone Star Nationals – Searching For “The” Truck!

Goodguys, Texas, Hot Rod, Antique, Fort Worth

Last week I shared some detailed photos from the Goodguys 22nd Lone Star Nationals show with my parents. It was a great time but I LOVED looking at some of these gems. This week we’re going to take a peak at the full body of some of my favorite vehicles from the shot.

Can’t you just picture “Down Home Traveler” written on the door and cruising down the road? No specific destination in mind, windows down, music on the radio under a giant blue sky with big, puffy, white clouds? Sounds like paradise!

The Details – Good Guys Car Show 2014

Good Guys, Car Show, Antique, Car Detail

My parents recently came to visit and my dad had a mission – to attend the Good Guys Car Show at Texas Motor Speedway. Mission accomplished! We set out for a few hours perusing the sales and checking out the shined up cars at the show.

It was pretty fun walking around with my dad. He’d tell me about certain vehicles and check out the details. The details are definitely pretty interesting and unique. You never quite know what someone will be inspired by and how they will incorporate it into their vehicle. This post is completely dedicated to exactly that – the details!
