Lonestar Round Up 2016: Photos From The Massive Texas Hot Rod Happening


Lonestar Round Up 2016: Photos From The Massive Texas Hot Rod Happening

(Photos by Charles Wickam) – It has become one of the premier hot rod destination shows in the world and year after year it just keeps getting better. We’re talking about the massive Lonestar Round Up which brings half a gazillion cars from all corners of the country and hot rod fans from all corners of the globe to Austin, Texas each year. Charles Wickam was our man on the scene as he has been for some time at the event and he sent us a massive collection of images to share with you.

From full on period correct hot rods to kustoms and things that cannot really be defined, the Lonestar Round Up is an event like few others in the sense that it is not about power parking or being seen but it is about doing as much as you possibly can over the course of the event. From walking the grounds to see what’s parked there during the day to cruising the streets of Austin and visiting hot rod shops at night or taking in some of the absolutely killer music that is going on, there’s literally something for everyone.

If it sounds like we’re cheerleading, maybe we are but it is always great to see success stories like this one in the gearhead world. It is an event that has taken off because the people who have attended had such a great time they want to come back and everyone else wants to see it because of how good the rest of the world claims it to be. In essence, it is working exactly the way a good event should.

Enjoy this first load of photos, we’ll be back with more tomorrow!

    HEY!!! that’s my brothers 33 Ford and his buddys chopped/channeled/sectioned 36 Chevy. They drove from Saskatchewan, Canada to the event then were driving to Viva Las Vegas this weekend from there then home. Massive road trip and they are having a great time.
