I was parked with the Morris woodies and I checked out that particular car
and shot a few photos of it. It was an absolute classic LA hot rod. Very
well done machine ready to cruise on a Friday night. The yellow color was
almost painful it was so bright and shiny. Under bonnet was spotless, with
enough chrome to do a few Sprites. Of the bizarre modifications of LBCs, it
beats the heck out of the Morrizuki 4WD Traveller. I'm sorry I didn't get
the name of the owner or get a chance to talk to him. Watch for him at Palo
Alto this next year.
