(Words and photos by Doug Gregory) –\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>In here you\u2019ll find mostly pre-49 stuff and a few things newer.\u00a0 These range from full-on restorations all the way to virtually everything has been modified with most being somewhere in between.<\/p>\n

I am partial to these older types and I really like all of these, but a few stand out for me.<\/p>\n

The big red Power Wagon is a no-brainer to love.\u00a0 Timelessly-rugged looks and a heritage of toughness make this an easy envy.\u00a0 This black \u201936 Ford Tudor is a gorgeous restified specimen of what I consider to be some of the finest-looking to ever emerge from a Ford factory.<\/p>\n

The \u201929 A-bone sounded healthy and pressed a lot of the right buttons for a mention.\u00a0 It would be hard to stuff myself into this thing, but I\u2019d certainly try.\u00a0 Oh look, another \u201936 Ford I\u2019m adoring, but this time it\u2019s a 5-window coupe.\u00a0Simplicity and cleanliness goes a long way and the subtlety of the overall look draws you in.<\/p>\n

Lastly is this \u201935 Ford pickup with many of the cues I like about early rods.\u00a0 A fenderless rod running fenderwell headers rules in my book.\u00a0The injected big-block is a serious wow factor on this build.\u00a0 The stance is good with the pie-crusts being the icing on top (or bottom\u2026).\u00a0 It has a roll bar so hopefully this thing has or will make passes at the track.\u00a0 Uncap the headers and let it eat.<\/p>\n

This early stuff has so much character which is completely lacking in today\u2019s offerings which might be one of the reasons I gravitate to this stuff.\u00a0 The last photo is of the \u2018Best of Show\u2019 winner which we also saw at the Cincinnati Autorama back in January.\u00a0 This green, fat-fendered Chevy is tubbed and sports a clam shell hood.\u00a0Pretty trick.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s two more items left covering the ALS show so come back to check them out.<\/p>\n
