Michael & Vickie Robey from Claremore, OK, love cruising their ’48 Ford Woodie. Michael bought it from Oklahoma Salvage in 1966 and it currently runs 40-year-old metallic brown paint, fresh Cleveland 351 power, a Heidt’s Mustang II IFS, a Bronco rear bumper, and 15-inch American Torq-Thrusts.
James & Wanda Hallman cruised up from Benton, AR, in their just-purchased and “Rep/Safety Pick” winning ’67 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Holiday Coupe 442 that is super stock, but has had the four-speed replaced by a Tremec 5-speed and the gears changed to 3.08 from 3.73.
The “Thumbs Up” award is for hot rods that normally wouldn’t be honored but are cool in a fun low-buck way. Dennis & Michelle Kelly out of Lee’s Summit, MO, have been having fun in their owner- painted ’34 Ford Tudor for as long as we can remember.
