We don't know who, what why when, but we do know that it might be located somewhere in Panama City, Florida off high way 98. Will the owner of this Batmobile mod step forward and tell us more about it and where to get one.

Ugly Corvettes or Art Cars in Disguise?

Ugly Corvettes or Art Cars in Disguise that is the question I have for you today. Over at Jalopnik
this Dragon Corvette is considered ugly but here its an art car in "process". Even though it was voted "single worst custom Corvette in history" it will find save haven here with the rest of us who took perfectly good cars and added "personal" touches. While I was out an about I found a few more corvettes that needed to come out of the rain.

Corvette ZR1 Full Review and Pics

Corvette zr1 is designed to take on the world. With a 638 hp supercharged v8, lightweight aluminum skeleton, and carbon fiber galore, the zr1 is the most sophisticated 'vette ever built
Corvette zr1 is the mighty bugatti veyron. Stock form, the zr1 does not stand a chance. However, i believe that with the right modifications a corvette zr1 could beat the veyron in top speed battle.
2-liter v8 ls9 engine that's good for 647 hp and 819 nm torque. The corvette zr1 has a 0 to 100 km/h acceleration time of 3. 6 seconds and a top speed of 330 km/h. Corvette zr1 for prince albert von thurn und taxis.

River Valley Cruisers Car Show Newaygo part four

River Valley Cruisers Car Show in historic downtown Newaygo. This is part four of four.

Here is the last of the beautiful, kool and hot cars in Newaygo, 2009. It was a great day in spite of the rain. The rain did hold off until the end, but started just as they began to hand out the trophies. I didn't get all of the winners, but did get some pics of a few of the recipients. So gather round, take a look and get excited for the next show!!


American Motors did make some hot looking cars. This AMC AMX is a prime example of what they did at their best. Very exciting design restored to its original condition. Thanks for bringing your car today!

Like most cars in this show, quality was the number one job of restoration. Hot Rod lovers can drool. What a nice, clean, straight car. The paint job was remarkable.

Not just another pretty face, this Hot Rod came with all one needs for buzzing around town. Great looks, great paint and nice folks. I would love a ride in this kool Hot Rod!

I noticed that I chose these two '55 Pontiacs to feature last year. Both are top notch cars with that kool hood ornament. I have always wondered....do they light up at night? If not, I think I would put some bright lighting system inside and make them GLOW!!

This neat Cushman sits inside the next truck. Colors match and all. A very nice display, guys! Does that little Cushman still run? I remember the day.....

This is the Ford that hauls the Cushman. A very good job in restoration and display set up. I always say, presentation is everything and this was presented very well. Great job....

Note the jacket on the back of the seat. Man, would I love a River Valley Cruisers jacket!! What would I do for one of those? Someday, when I join, I will have to steal...er..buy, a jacket like that!

Studebaker Lark, I do believe. So glad someone took the time to restore this car. I have so many memories of riding around town in my buddy Lee's Lark convertible. Wild times! Well, that is the way I remember it anyway, Lee!



Hot little VW. My daughter got her pic taken sitting in this bug. She is a true bug lover. I got to talk to the owner. They have the bug and Elvira sitting next door. Very nice folks, enjoying a day at the car show.



Elvira standing tall and looking good!

And the winner is....

Another winner!!

Great looking Chevy wins an award!!

Well, that is all from the River Valley Cruisers Car Show in Newaygo, Michigan. Hope you enjoyed the pictures as much as I enjoyed taking them. Some very special cars were at this show and I regret that I didn't get a pic of every one. Maybe next year I will get some more!!

Our thanks to the River Valley Cruisers who volunteered to put on the show, and the many sponsors who donated time and money for all of the awards given. Our thanks again to Jim Mieras for his great job of Masters of Ceremonies. Like always, he was quick witted and ready with something interesting to say at any time! To the Dairy Queen and Mugsy's Drive In, thanks! Great sauerkraut dogs, too. I will cherish the mustard stain I got on my new River Valley Cruisers T-shirt.....

My thanks also, to Hagerty Collector Car Insurance for providing me with so many things to give to this show for their contestants. I am sure everyone enjoyed the bags, magnets, pens, etc!
