Doug & Carol Kasel from Golden, CO, made the last four events in their ’40 Ford Woodie and in Kalamazoo we gave them the “StreetScene Pick.” We picked it because back in Burlington we saw Carol talking to a guy as she sat in the driver’s seat. He was having the time of his life, and as passenger on the other side of the ’40 Doug was explaining to anoth- er rodder how they did a custom trick on the tailgate. That is what rodding is about!
The whole reason to have a rod is to get out and enjoy it, which we could tell Don Bryant has been doing this year in his Caddy-pow- ered ’40 Ford coupe out of Buchanan, MI, that sits mean on steelies.
National Field Director Charlie Bryson picked Darrell Swanson’s ’35 Ford pickup running a boxed stock frame, a 350/TH400 power combo, a ’55 Olds rear, American Racing five-spokes, and 1966 Cadillac Tropic Green Firemist paint for his “Pick.”
