Real Americans only drink meat-based beer
"Hey, this beer is pretty good, what's in it?"

"Wheat, barley, and hops"
We are in an inescapable vortex of stupidity
I think I speak for all of us when I say we need to have a rigorous 25 year media quarantine on anybody from the city of New York
In fact I would go farther and say that anyone who has spent more than 4 weeks in NYC in the previous 10 years should be kept away from all cameras, microphones, and computers until science develops a safe vaccine
j/k New Yorkers! We all love your brash confidence that wherever you go, you are now in charge

yes ma'am, all 3 are owned by my pal Beau Boeckmann and built or restored by my other pal Dave Shuten; 2 nearest are Ed "Big Daddy" Roth's Beatnik Bandit bubbletop and Tweedy Pie T bucket. Blue coupe is the Iron Orchid 34 Ford 5 window.
I believe all 3 are currently at the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green KY if you want to take a gander. For my money, the Iron Orchid is the bitchin'est hot rod built in the last 20 years. ImageImageImageImage
fun story about the Tweedy Pie T: it was owned by Ed Roth, but originally built by Bob Johnson. In 1959 it won best of show at the 1st Annual Disneyland Car Club Day & Autocade. That was also the Last Annual, due to the tire-smoking antics & general delinquency of the hot rodders ImageImage

Welcome to a special Os-Car Night #DavesCarIDService Late Show! No requests please, I'm just posting a thread of some of my favorite vintage stars with some of my favorite vintage cars.
Let's start off with the Best Automobile In a Supporting Role. And the winner is: 1941 DeSoto Coupe in Cool Hand Luke. Here supporting the hard-working Joy Harmon
And on the topic of blonde bombshells, here's the OG blonde bombshell Jean Harlow and her stately 1934 Cadillac V12 Town Car.

parked curbside: 1948-52 Studebaker 2 door sedan
before diving into today's batch of ID requests, here's yet another tedious reposting of the guidelines. Sorry, but seems like no matter how many times I repeat this people ignore them (especially my plea to use the hashtag) Image

A very happy 57th birthday from #DavesCarIDService to the Ford Mustang, born (or at least publicly debuted) this day at the 1964 NY World's Fair, and star attraction of the Ford Pavilion 'Magic Skyway' ride.
It was arguably the most successful car launch of all time, with 680,989 1965 units sold; the vehicular version of the Beatles. And internationally considered America's national car - what the Mini is to England, or the VW is to Germany, or the Citroen 2CV is to France.
The Mustang is so iconic that I get very few car ID requests featuring them- because even among non-car people no ID is necessary. And speaking of car IDs, I again thank you in advance for respecting the guidelines:

The problem with that bobcat body slam video: unreasonable expectations by women who think they deserve a man who will body slam a bobcat for them, and men who think they deserve a woman worth body slamming a bobcat for
I mean I've protected my wife from a few rodents and garter snakes and flying insects, but whether she crosses the bobcat threshold remains a strictly empirical question
I will say this: if a bobcat ever attacks my wife in the driveway, I will spring into action of some sort

I get this Q all the time, and the answer is you can; just not from a dealer show room. There are plenty of independent shops who can rebuild a 53 Pontiac or whatever with all the modern conveniences, even as EVs.
And the reason car manufacturers don't do it is because it would be 100% illegal, crash safety regulation wise. Same reason most all Detroit retro designs are ultimately disappointing (at best).
I dig Jaguar's C-type / D-type / XKSS continuations. They had unused 1950s VINs for the originals, which (in the UK anyway) allowed them to make brand new replicas. Don't expect A/C & GPS, and if you have to ask the price you can't afford it.
