35th Annual Austin Custom Car & Hot Rod Show


	Sundown Promotions 35th Annual Austin Custom Car & Hot Rod Show January 16, 17, & 18, 2009 Palmer Event Center Austin, Texas Pictures By Richard “Too Low” Haas 2 Pages

The 35th Annual Sundown Promotions Austin Car Show was quite a showcase of what's happening in the Hot Rod, Custom and Collector Car world, with many cars that were shown for the first time and some old favorites too. This indoor show happens at just the right time of the year when most gearheads are about to climb the walls, wanting to "get out and kick some tires". It may be necessary to find a larger venue pretty soon to hold all the fine rides that are wanting to get out and show off." Richard "Too Low" Haas
