Each year it\u2019s held in Long Beach aboard the Queen Mary \u2013 which is a huge, Titanic-ish ship. There are tons of tattoo artists exhibiting and doing tattoos. There\u2019s dozens of bands playing throughout the day. Pinups are around too of course &#8211; vying for the $2000 grand prize in the contest (why don\u2019t they award cars that much when they win?!?) And obviously\u2026 custom cars. This show is all about rockabilly and kustom culture. So of course the cars showing up are along the style the rockabilly crowd likes &#8211; Classic rods and crazy customs. The show runs for 3 days\u2026I only wish I was there for more than part of one\u2026there\u2019s always next year, right?!<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"highslide\" title=\"nice car\" onclick=\"return vz.expand(this)\" href=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/bohuffdixiedeluxegg2b.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[4118]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-4126\" style=\"border: 2px solid black; margin: 4px;\" title=\"bo huff made dixie deluxe\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/bohuffdixiedeluxegg2b-228x300.jpg\" alt=\"Bo Huff made kustom called &quot;Dixie Deluxe&quot; at Ink and Iron\" width=\"228\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/bohuffdixiedeluxegg2b-228x300.jpg 228w, https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/bohuffdixiedeluxegg2b-114x150.jpg 114w, https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/bohuffdixiedeluxegg2b.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 228px) 100vw, 228px\" \/><\/a>I mostly went to check out what I\u2019d been hearin\u2019 about for years.

Never would\u2019ve guessed I\u2019d be meetin\u2019 and hangin\u2019 out with Bo Huff \u2013 a well known custom builder and all around cool cat. Not only that but also taking some pics alongside Dixie Deluxe as well as Rockabilly Playboy.

He\u2019s been doin\u2019 customs since he was a kid in the late 50s and now has a shop of his own in East Carbon, Utah. Bo isn\u2019t just a car guy \u2013 he\u2019s livin\u2019 the rockabilly lifestyle. And you can tell it when you check out his cars \u2013 they\u2019re classic, powerful, and playful&#8230; or as they say &#8220;a work of art on wheels.&#8221; Other than cars Bo keeps it real around the scene by attending many shows throughout the year and hosting a couple of his own. Coming up in July is The Bo Huff Rockabilly Car Show in Sunnyside, Utah and than in September is Rockabilly Route 66 Car Show in San Bernadino. <em>(More details can be found on his website www.bohuffshop.com or find him on MySpace.)<\/em><a class=\"highslide\" title=\"Custom kulture\" onclick=\"return vz.expand(this)\" href=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/bohuffdixiedeluxegg4b.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[4118]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-4127\" style=\"border: 2px solid black; margin: 4px;\" title=\"Bo Huff made Kustom with Grease Girl\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/bohuffdixiedeluxegg4b-300x192.jpg\" alt=\"Bo Huff made Kustom at Ink and Iron\" width=\"300\" height=\"192\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/bohuffdixiedeluxegg4b-300x192.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/bohuffdixiedeluxegg4b-150x96.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/bohuffdixiedeluxegg4b.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Sometimes it <em><strong>is<\/strong><\/em> funner being a girl\u2026 I don\u2019t know if Bo would\u2019ve suggested we follow him back to take pictures with his cars if I were a guy!? Lucky day I was wearing a red dress which made for a great contrast next to <strong>Dixie Deluxe<\/strong> \u2013 a <strong>1949 Mercury<\/strong>. I first saw Dixie at the Grand National Roadster Show and self-proclaimed her as having \u201cBest Paint Job\u201d of the show (<a title=\"Grease Girl's Picks from GNRS\" href=\"http:\/\/greasegirl.wordpress.com\/2009\/01\/26\/grand-national-roadster-show\/\" target=\"_blank\">see my other picks here<\/a>.) To me this 49 Merc is just the right combination of beauty and fun. Customized but not too far. Pretty but not too serious.

Becky Sue and I hopped in the back seat and it didn\u2019t take too much coaxing for Bo to hop in the driver\u2019s seat. This car is pretty much over the top with an amazing attention to detail!
