Me and my partner Mike went to an interesting exhibit of hot rods built by
Vern Tardel here in SF yesterday. The details are below. When we were there
they had a '32 Highboy, an original '32 3-window coupe, a '34 4-door with a
chevy engine, a blown flathead lsr roadster, and a '27 T roadster pickup.
All Fords, and all flathead V8s except the '34. Plus, there were a lot of
good pictures of Vern's garage and of the salt flats. An interesting part
of the display was a section of wall made up to be like a workbench in an
Vern's garage, complete with greasy old tools, bit's and pieces of cars &
carburators, and corrugated tin all over the place. It was a fun show and
will be there for a couple of more weeks.
Here's the info from the Fort Mason website:
