Classics Legends in the park, Locos United.

Classic Legends Lowrider & Kustom show, Japan.

On Saturday March 7th the day before the big show we were treated to an outdoor show sponsored by Classic Legends association and Old Memories CC Japan. Together they presented the Locos United show in the Aichi Tokoname Rinku bay area.

please check out,            http://classiclegends.jp/locosunited        for more information.

Situated along the shoreline of the Nagoya bay, it was a perfect location for an outdoor show. Music, BBQ, Hot soup, ( it was a little cold ) and great tacos!

And there were some cool cars too!

This first picture is Mr. Howard Gribble.
I had an opportunity to talk to Howard in Nagoya. He is such a great man and a wealth of knowledge. A car enthuisest and photographer, his collection of lowrider photography spans more then 5 decades and he often shares them with us. Thank you for your time and for attending the show.

Happy Hoppy

Summer Sadness

The end of a Lowrider,
This 1965 Impala named Summer Maddness, belonged to my older brother. He sold it many years ago and it went to Japan. It had not been seen in decades then all of a sudden these pictures pop up on a Japanese FB member's page. There is much speculation, but the story is not clear as to why and how the car ended up like this.
There is rumor that is will be saved, but looking at the pictures it is safe to say the Mario Gomez - Walt Pray paint job is lost.
