Fall USA trip, The show at the Art center of car design…

Some more pictures I couldn’t withhold from the show at the art center. The art center is a college (like university) for car design, many of very high qualified and talented car designers found here their roots!

Once a year they do like an open house with a car show along and try to raise some funds… I was happy to be around this year so decided to pay it a visit, left Drag Day on time, this show was running till about 4 a clock…

Some pictures of various cars around…

  1. You can catch a glimpse of the restoration of the GM “Futurliner” tour bus on the last episode of the TV show “Bitchin’ Rides”.
    Incredible rebuild, not a fan of the show myself, but well worth watching.
