This year the Grand National Roadster Show is BangShift central. You can’t walk 30 feet without seeing someone wearing a BangShift Hat or Shirt, and most of the folks wearing them have a camera stuck to their face taking great photos for all of you to enjoy. In fact, as I write this blog item [...]
Here is our second gallery of photos from Scott Liggett, including some of the outdoor show that happens on Saturday here at the Grand National Roadster Show. Despite ugly weather, nobody is going to miss this show, as the list of celebrities and who’s who of hot rodding just gets bigger every year. Chip Foose, [...]
Scott Liggett, a long time BangShift.com contributor, grew up going to indoor car shows. Living in the upper mid-west where snow kept everyone from running around outside and playing, the winter indoor car show season was special. Mirrors, velvet ropes, and carpet were just as big a deal as the car that was sitting on [...]
Hall 6 is one we love to visit during the Grand National Roadster Show. It’s a throwback because there are tons of custom choppers that look like they are straight out of the 70s, along with really bitchin Lowriders and some pretty trick Muscle Cars. This gallery is just from Hall 6, so don’t for [...]
Last year we though that the Grand National Roadster Show, formerly known as The Oakland Roadster Show, had a wider variety of cars than we had ever see. Nowhere was that more evident than in the heavily contested AMBR, or America’s Most Beautiful Roadster, category. Well, we’re glad to report that this year is not [...]
2013 marks the 64th year for the Grand National Roadster Show, which makes it one of the oldest in the country. Famed builders like Andy Brizio, Chip Foose, Troy Trepanier, Roy Brizio, Steve Strope, and more all flock to this event to win awards, rub elbows, and enjoy some good Southern California weather. Well, we’re [...]
Our virtual stroll through the sprawling Dezer Collection Museum in Miami, Florida continues with a gallery that takes a peek at the insane collection of scooters and vintage motorcycles housed in one of the two buildings at the Dezer. We went with a sort of highlight reel in this gallery as we could have taken [...]
Our week long photo tour of the massive Dezer Collection Museum in Miami, Florida continues today with a look at the huge number of American classic cars, military vehicles, odd rods, and even some weirdo cars from eastern Europe that we had never seen before. As we’ve been telling you all along, this place is [...]

In this gallery we’ll show you more of the awesome drag cars, dirt track race cars, sprint cars both new and old, classic trucks, and parts that were on display at [...]
(Photos by Joe Grippo) – Every winter, hot rodders, racers, and gearheads of all backgrounds in the greater Philadelphia area gather at the Philadelphia Expo Center for the annual Motorsports Expo.

We’ve been taking you through the massive and diverse Dezer Collection Museum in Miami, Florida this week and we continue today with this gallery of some seriously neat stuff. One section of the museum is dedicated to a huge gathering of antique motorized bicycles that range from really old to ancient. There are Whizzer bikes [...]
Miami, Florida’s Dezer Collection car museum has a massive grouping of famous movie and tv cars like one of the original Batmobiles (#3 made), a General Lee, the Monkeemobile, a Starsky and Hutch Torino, and on and on and on. With the sale of Batmobile #1 for 4.2 million dollars over the weekend we decided [...]
While I was waiting for Chad to show up in West Palm Beach for the 2013 PRO Winter Warm Up last week, I shot down to Miami and took a tour of the massive Dezer Collection car museum. I shot almost 600 photos while at the museum and will be sharing them with you throughout [...]
Despite the Saturday rain, we had a killer time at the 2013 PRO Winter Warm Up at Palm Beach International Raceway in Florida. We saw Courtney Force make the fastest 1000′ funny car pass in NHRA history at 322 mph, a bunch of top fuel dragsters run into the 3.70 time zone, and racers like [...]
We’re here at PBIR for the 2013 PRO Winter Warm Up and the teams are making runs hot and heavy. All of the NHRA’s big nitro hitters are making runs and working on their combos for the Winternationals that are coming in only a few weeks. The PRO Winter Warm Up is the place to [...]
Our on-going series of car specific galleries continues today with a collection of 52 photos concentrating on gasser style cars. In truth we could probably run a gallery of 500-1,000 gasser photos from our archive, but we’re going to bleed them out slowly! These days it seems like there may be more straight axle gasser-rods [...]
