POSSON SCULPTURE "RUNNING AT THE LAKES"
NOW AVAILABLE THROUGH HOP UP

Just after WWII, hot rodding got a start when young men took their cars out to the dry lake beds to see what they would do.

They began a whole new industry right there on the dry mud.

"Running at the Lakes", a new bronze sculpture by Steve Posson, captures the spirit of the early lakes meets.

The car has Kelsey-Hayes wheels, a dropped axle and a race car steering wheel, but everything else is pretty much stock.....and well used.

The '29 body has the cowl gas cap and the '32 grill still has its original trim and cap. The interior is tired, the door handles sag, but you know all the work is in the motor!

The racers are in blue denims with rolled up cuffs, t-shirts and boots.

"Running at the Lakes" is 26" long, carefully made by hand in lost-wax silicone bronze on a marble base. There will only be 15 made. $8,000.00

For more details contact Morty at (909) 788-2500.

DOUGIE

We got the dope on Dougie. In a candid interview we found out what really make this car guy tick. What is it that drives him to all this pleasure-seeking through traditional rods and customs and racecars and.........?

Since we go way back with Dougie, some items had to be 'off the record'. The interview went like this:

HU: Dougie, how attached do you get to a car like your '32 Tudor that you've worked so hard on? Would you ever consider selling a car that means so much to you? Will you keep it forever?

DOUGIE :
(Response off the record.)

HU: Dougie, you run your own business, have a large family, but still balance all those duties with a successful hobby. How do you keep all those balls in the air at one time?

DOUGIE:
(Response off the record)

HU: Dougie, your old Pal R.Dub dabbles in the hobby, too. Is there any competition between the two of you?

DOUGIE:
(Response off the record.)

HU: Dougie, how much cash do you keep in that buried coffee can in your back yard, waiting for that 'right' deal to come along?

DOUGIE:
(Response off the record.)

HU: Dougie, you're choking me!

DOUGIE:
(Response off the record.)

Next month's candid interview: Jesse Jackson
