43rd Mid-America Street Rod Nationals —
Table of Contents Photo Although we didn’t get the name of this cruiser at the 52nd Street Rod Nationals East, he was proudly showing his Kustom off. It looks like an original back-in-the-day ‘49/50 Ford Shoebox, quarter windows loaded with stickers, ribbed bumpers and custom work that could use some refreshing. Other than the NSRA sticker, all the others appear more recent than the scallop paint job on this history piece. We love seeing young ones carrying on our rod and custom heritage.

On The Cover There is something to be said for comradery and we’d bet when these wicked coupes gather a good time is to be had. The Ozark Empire Fairgrounds had plenty of cool to go around so check out our coverage and then skip to the East!
