Eye catching cars at X-mans Cruise for the Cause

This is Xavier's car.. since he goes to all the effort to make this show happen, the least I can do is post his car up first










This guy really likes his Raiders , I've never seen anyone go this far to show team support










Go full size on the light purple area in the trim spear, it's full of airbrushed skulls, really well done.


This is the rare old Willys Knight that has been bagged, and I did a gallery on it in 2008 but I can't find it right now

Cool old russian vehicles!

1913 Rus­sobalt Type-Kegresse



1939–1946. Total 33 840 units were pro­duced. This truck is pow­ered by gas gen­er­a­tor that used fire­wood (or coal) to pro­duce gas that pow­ers the engine. Because of this it has low power and speed, it is dif­fi­cult to ser­vice and not so easy to start up. But because the lack of gaso­line in some north regions this truck was indispensable.


Yag -12 all four front tires steer, 1932 to 1941

Pro­duced 1949–1953. This inter­est­ing car is kind of GAZ-M20 Bobeda based six seat mini­van


This is a 1956 4 wheel drive airplane towtruck, and can be switched to just front wheel drive. (only 13 made)

Hudsons, quite the difference between stylish cars, and odd looking trucks

The owner told me a bit of Hudson Hollywood information I've never learned before, the Hollywood was fundamentally a convertible chassis with a coupe top. They had to switch them between assembly lines from the convertible line to the hardtop line after getting all the undercarriage and chassis done. This is why it has such a roomy interior
This one is new to San Diego... it was just purchased from Florida. What does that matter? Well, I like the Hudson Hollywood look a lot, and realised I hadn't seen this one before, so I asked if it had been here long or if it was recently brought to San Diego.
