Winnipeg World of Wheels sneak preview

Winnipeg World of Wheels opens today, which un-officially opens the car show season. Unlike most shows, this one ain’t free-$9, tickets available at the door or at any Piston Ring location here in town. It’s a small price to pay, considering what you get to see. And while you’re there, look out for the guy with the camera following the A&W Root Bear around-that’s me. I will be there all weekend following the show for A&W’s “Cruisin’ the Dub,” and we’d love to get a shot of you getting a free Root Bear Hug.

The license plate reads “2HLNBK”

Yes, it’s a real police car. And yes, we’re all screwed.

Tony Costas’ 1959 Oldsmobile Rat Rod

This is the third, and shiniest, version of this rat rod Volkswagen Beetle seen on this site. Check out the last incarnation here.

According to legend, this (very) oldskool T-bucket was on the cover of Hot Rod Magazine back in the 50’s.

Well, my cab is here-I gotta jet. Stop by the A&W Booth, pick up a stuffed A&W bear and say hi!
