    Goodguys in Puyallup

    The Goodguys car show was in town. I did not take my truck because it's spendy and I don't like to sit around for 3 days..maybe next year. They were expecting 2500 cars, but I think there was closer to 3000 (or more). The fairgrounds was jam packed, never seen it that full. With the exception of last year, I've attended every year for the last decade or so. Trucks are really popular right now. In the past, true hot rodders kind of looked down on trucks and did not really accept them. This year I guesstimate that 75% of the vehicles were trucks. Even the inside pavilion, which is reserved for very high dollar builds had a majority of trucks.

    So here's a few vehicles that really caught my eye. A mini winnebago on a golf cart chasis, a few micro cars and personal scooters and a 1926 Star hearse with 2 small block engines.

      It took me forever to edit my photos and get them posted on the forum. I'm a super moderator on C10trucks.com.

      Dude, I looked at that converted hearse, and said to myself, "Wut?"

      Here are more pictures of it from another fan:

      As a side note, it made sense when vehicles were horse-drawn for the driver to sit outside, but once they became motorized, it strikes me as a class-driven concept, e.g.:

      (tinyurl link for wikipedia article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brougham_%28car_body%29)

      However, a vehicle where the driver sits outside while the dead are cozy inside? };-)

      Kera..often show vehicles are cool looking but not really made to be driven.

      Yeah, I getcha about the people who make/remake these fantasy vehicles. }:-)

      However, I have to wonder about the mindset of the people who designed, built, and bought the original early twentieth century motor-driven broughams.

      Look at this one with the burl walnut dashboard:

      Aside from any concerns about the poor driver, who would have wanted to expose that beautiful wood to the notoriously wet climate of Great Britain?

      To say nothing about the climatic extremes of the New World, but then perhaps the designers weren't worrying themselves too much about the barbarians on the other side of the Atlantic.

      Yeah..the poor driver has no cover while the rich guy in back is eating his "grey poupon"..lol
