<VV> Low Riders

[Taruffi57 at aol.com]

You are right, Matt.  (beauty in the eye of the beholder)..  It's  just 
that my "eye" STARTS with 1930's French custom body builders like Figoni et  
Falaschi, Italian artisans like Scaglietti & Zagato, Brits like Malcolm  Sayer 
(Jag E-Type), Gordon Buehrig's incredible work in the 1930's on the  
greatest cars of America, and even Harley Earl & Bill Mitchell with  GM.  One only 
has to go to any local weekend car show to see masses of ugly  
"personalized" autos.  And in most cases, the owner has lowered the value  of the car.
 
Actually, it's more the gaudy - "look-at-me" paint jobs that I find  
tasteless.  So you see, some like 'em, some don't, and since this is still  (maybe 
not for long) free America, I reserve my right to throw my 2 cents worth  
in the ring.  I also don't see any reason to make a car hop like a giant  
Pogo Stick.
 
To confirm that I am not just a leave-'em-stock kind of guy, I am - right  
now, working on a custom Corvair.  The only difference is that it is  
tasteful, performance oriented, and will be appreciated by those who know the  
history of racing.
 
I'm pretty sure that I will never go out of my way to be "P C" - on  any 
subject.

Joe!  "Low Riders"  are just "Mobile works of  Art"... few try for 
performance... but there area few who would embarrass you  and your cars....


What's the difference  between these cars  and the numerous "Trailer 
Queens" we see at Conventions??


All are works of art / dedication / craftmanship / attention to  detail..




"beauty is in the eyes of the  beholder!!!!
