Me and Merc Convert 33

"The Houston Autorama took place this past weekend, and while I don't do many indoor shows, this one is always good for spotting new trends and seeing some of the "magazine cars". Chip Foose continues to design and build some very trend setting cars and makes me want to see the rest of John O'Quinn's collection......this guy has some fine rides!!! I miss the old Astrodome shows but Houston's new Brown Convention Center is a great venue for just about anything. This show is usually the wrap up for the year's car shows, indoor and outdoor, and there is plenty there to carry you over to the new year.
While we are waiting for the new car show season to start, be sure to check out my Book Review section here at Hot Rod Hot Line.......there are some very good new automotive books out now. See ya next year, Richard "Too Low" Haas
