German Street Rod Association Car Show

posted by Hechtspeed

Car Show Pictures from Germany: I've got the latest scoop from our German Hot Rod informant, Pascal.  The German Street Rod Association (GSRA) is the only German club for street rod owners, which is now up to 300 members and was founded in 1993.  They have a website gsra.de you can check out, but its all in German.  Now, on to the sharp photos by Pascal and the rad hot rods from Germany. It's cool how 20's and 30's traditional hot rods can transcend time in any part of the world, as we've seen from Tano's '26 T Roadster with Olds V8 power to these rods in Germany. One of the traditional type rods that can be found worldwide is the Speed Shop truck.  I wonder if hot rodders from the 40's and 50's knew that their work trucks would be turned into street rods?  It makes sense though, I mean, you can hop up the big V8's they came with, you can slam them, put some chrome reverse wheels on 'em with baby moon caps and white walls, add the name of your speed shop and logo on the door...

American Hot Rods and Customs in Germany

posted by Hechtspeed

The last post I did using Pascal Hein's photos was German cars in Germany.  Today, I bring you American Hot Rods and Customs in Germany.  It's an interesting idea to think of an American Muscle car or a traditional roadster as an "import" car.  As we saw with Tano's '26 T Roadster from Japan, there are some very cool American rides all over the globe.  Let's see what Germany has in store for us... Here's a great line up of 20-30's hot rods.  I spy a sedan, a roadster, and a pickup.  Looks like we're at a car show on main street USA right? Low ride height, white walls.  This is a beautiful 40's (right?) cruiser.  I'm not good with cars from the 40's.  Anyone know what this is? Now, something from the 50's.  A well used 4 door Chevy Bel Air hot rod project.  A little rust here, a little primer there, mismatched doors.  I love it.  You know this car gets driven. Dig this mild custom Ford Edsel!  Ya, Ford Edsel.  You can't get any more American than this.  ha ha  As big of a failure as it was back in the day, the...

Aircoolers in Germany

posted by Hechtspeed

I think its time for some more aircooler LOVE!!!  Remember our German Facebook friend, Pascal Hein?  We blogged about his cherry Lemon (lemon is what he named the car) classic 1973 BMW 1802 Touring.  Pascal took these pictures at a big VW Bug and Bus Meeting in Germany, home of the "People's Car" brand.   Most of the bugs you'll see came from Great Britain, Belgium or from Netherlands. I thought I'd grab my favorites from Pascal's photo website  http://www.vipallica.deviantart.com/. This is my favorite picture.  I'm really likin' this blue Cal-Look big window bug.  It's got the big single turbo muffler, nerf bars, narrowed front beam with all the chrome trim.  Bugs with a nice raked stance are one of my favorite cars of all time. One of the coolest vdubs is the early buses or Kombi's.  When slammed, they are saweet kruzers!  This rust-a-rific bus is rockin' some white painted Porsche Fuch wheels on low pro tires.  I think this is a barndoor model.  Also, check out how you can see right through this car with the barndoor open.  ha ha Gold Member anyone?  Polished Fuch Porsche wheels are always...

Facebook and a Rare BMW 1802 Touring named “Lemon”

posted by Hechtspeed

You're on Facebook right yall?  No?  Get with the program!  That's how MyRideisMe.com and Pascal Hein got together, through the MyRideisMe Facebook Fanpage.  Go check it out and join our Fanpage, right after you read this cool story of course. Pascal is from Germany and he has shared his classic bimmer he calls "Lemon".  A 1973 1802 Touring model.  Sit back, grab some Kugen (yummy pastries my German grandma Hecht makes for desserts) and enjoy storytime from the motherland.  Take it away Pascal! "My Bimmer was built in 1973. The so called "Touring" was BMWs first try to build a hatchback and also the last try until 1993, when they introduced the compact edition of the 3 Series. Actually people didn't like this concept in the early 70s so just around 30,000 Touring models were produced and just around 970 of them were 1802 Tourings like mine, while there were houndreds of thousands of normal BMW 02 sedans. So in 1984 my father managed to buy this car after he wanted to have one for many years. It had two owners before he bought it and had some damage on the rear...

August Meanwhile the whole US-Car Scene is getting more and more popular in Germany. Really beautiful cars! - I think the Hamburg show is one of the smaller parts of the show Days - but it´s really quite near to my home. This year I have been in Hamburg for the first time because I REALLY love US Cars - especially Hot Rods and Pickups. It´s a real nice event. Feel free to visit their official website: http://street-mag-show.de I look forward to the Hannover show in August to take more shots! Thanks for the info and pictures. Hot rodding is...
