Arkansas Valley Vehicle Showcase Brings Out The Chrome

Description: A Variety of Local Vehicles Were Displayed and Lots of People Came Out To Attend The First Time Event.

Arkansas Valley Vehicle Showcase 

The event was sponsored and put on by Nick Ramirez with Garage Doors+ 

Saturday morning the Coffee Holding Company parking lot in La Junta became a showcase of local vehicles. 

This Impala had paint this photo can't do justice. It was very, very clean and had silver metal flake in depth. The etched chrome trim let's the average onlooker know attention to detail was not spared by the owner.

Again, it's hard to see the complete intricacies of the etching on the headlight bevels in this photo, but you get the idea. Meticulous hours were spent on fine details. I think the classic silver leaf patterns compliment the modern halo headlamps, the car presented well with modern improvements dressed with classic lowrider style.

This car show certainly had variety. You could almost fit a lowrider under this lifted truck.

A few classics made an appearance too. This isn't the first time I've seen this very clean C/10 Chevy pickup around as it's been in several local shows. 

The "Devil's Chariot" stood out between a modified Subaru and Dodge Charger.

This local car came to the show from the next county over. What a clean classic delivery this lucky owner gets to Cruise.

There were several bikes at the show. This new Indian is a different breed of bike. One "cool" feature is that the engine is liquid cooled and the radiator is built into the frame.

Large chrome wheels were the order of the day, however...

They were unexpected on this wild ride.

According to the owner, this midget race car was restomodded to be a lowrider show car. It started life as a 1934 Ford, was chopped into a racecar, then it was went under major modifications to be transformed into a lowrider. Complete with a deeper drop via further suspension mods, and even the addition of a sound system.

Those white walls stick out...about as much as this mad little machine. I overheard the owner answer many questions from the crowd. He said, "Yeah, I actually drive it." "It Might Be For Sale" and "Hell Yeah it's fast."

The "Until We Meet Again" build took dedication to another level.

The First Arkansas Valley Vehicle Showcase had enough entries, entertainment, and car show attendees to be considered a success in a season of car show cancellations and challenges.

Thanks to Nick and everyone who helped with the show for bringing some polished chrome to a tarnished 2020 car show season.
