Show us some car porn. Flame jobs, airbrushed lowriders, commercial vehicles with company logos, custom vinyl graphics (i.e. stickers). Lead sleds, chopped tops, and other sculptureal creations. Basically, anything not stock in terms of visuals. Difficulty: vehicle must appear to be operable. (museums, good; junk yard, bad)

Many thanks to Yoyo for the theme suggestion!

Having to go back and reprocess some photos for this one, was a bit post-crop vignette happy with some of my shots from the one and only car show I have photos from.

Yo, YoYo! Does this have to be a stock car that’s been customized, or is it any car that’s not stock (stock in this case meaning “as out of the factory”)?

Would stuff like fire trucks be considered ‘non-stock’?

The vehicle in question should show evidence of visual modifications.

If it’s a stock fire truck, then it’s stock. If it’s a fire truck that the municipality had repainted pink to support breast cancer awareness, then it’s not stock. If it’s a fire truck that has custom engine-turned gold-leaf applique… (Mind you, I have not memorized the America-LaFrance catalogue, and I doubt most voters have either.)

CISS, I’m not sure I understand the difference between “customized” and “not stock”. I suppose if you’re talking about a Harley-Davidson, you could totally customize the bike with all stock parts (i.e. optional parts that H-D dealers keep in stock). If this is your question, then I’d be cool with “customized”.

YoYo, an example in clarification of my question might be a dragster. It’s definitely not a stock car, but neither is it a stock car that’s been customized. Another way of asking – does the vehicle have to have originally been a stock, buy-it-off-the-showroom-floor car or truck that’s been customized, or can it be any vehicle that is simply not stock including vehicles that were never stock?

Ah…got too busy quilt-making and didn’t take the time to go shooting for this…have to sit this one out. On the other hand, got a lot of the quilt done…

Yes, fully custom built vehicles would qualify for this one (even if that’s not the main intent).
Besides have you ever seen a rail dragster that didn’t have nice visuals?

Now a stock body 5.0 Mustang with a 460 under the hood would be right out, as the idea here is for visual modifications, not mechanical modifications.

Thanks. all 3 were archive dives but I hope to get at least 2 or 3 votes.

The weather around here also mandated archive dives. I’m pretty happy with what I got, though. Just hoping to show up someplace respectable.
