1934 Rat Rod

Driving out to pick up our new pup, we noticed a Ranchero in the driveway last year. Instantly we fell in love with our new Jack Russell Terrier and the Ranchero. Contacting the family about an addition to our family, this Rat Rod came into play. Not yet, 17 Lane has the skills for the classics. Along with this rat rod, he picked up a 1949 Farmall tractor to add to his collection. His passion is buying, fixing, and selling dirt bikes, an entrepreneur in the making. Thanks, Lane, for adding this classic to our collection.

1964 Ford Falcon Ranchero

This is Lane’s Ride, Loretta, a work in progress.
Thanks for the sign that Otis is going to move into the Car Show world with style.

Check out Lane’s ride along with our Ranchero line-up here.

Picking up Otis

Yesterday was a big day; we had made arrangements to pick up our new Jack Russel Terrier. The drive was long enough that we had to guess on the timing, we were a half-hour early, so we decide to find the address and then drive around checking out the landscape. As we turned the corner there it was, a ranchero, a 1964 Ford Falcon Ranchero, fate, luck, happiness a new Jack and a Ranchero finding all on the same day.

So many thanks to Wendoverterriers for their professionalism, if your looking for a Jack Russell Terrier the experience was off the charts.

We will be introducing Otis once car shows start up again and he’s old enough to enjoy the adventure.

Belmont Shore Car Show: Zagato Perana Z-one

The perfect ride

You never know what you may find at a car show. Getting to a show early has advantages, and this shot proves it. An hour later getting any kind of photograph of this Italian exotic would have been impossible with all the car enthusiast surrounding it.

Hey buddy let me tell you about a ride.

Hiding in the hood.

Something New!

There are a lot of photos that take on a different character when it comes to the ride. Those little gems are usually left out of the GALLERY. When posting photos of classics the whimsical part of a car show can sometimes get left out. So we are adding a new section that takes on the smiles that light up when you see something stand out on the ride, kind of like the blue q. Our Ranchero is a great little truck, the color, stance and ghost flames make it a one of a kind but when the blue q tags along well the smiles break out and the duo take on a new meaning called cool. So we are going back through the archives to showcase the whimsical, the reflections, the beauty of the details that never make it into the car show Gallery starting with this sweet little creature hiding in the hood.

Hey buddy, let me tell your about my ride.  Taken July 2009.
