We recently attended the 2012 Northeast Rod & Custom Car Show in Oak, PA. The quality and variety of customs and hot rods was impressive, so we thought we’d share some with you. It’s great to get out and visit car shows whenever you can – there are great ideas for your own collection, and an opportunity to meet other and share your passion. Now that spring is underway, we hope to be visiting many more car shows in the upcoming months. We’ll keep you posted!

Condon Skelly visited Scottsdale, Arizona last week to check out some unbelievable classic and custom cars. Scottsdale is actually a hotbed for collector cars, custom hot rods, and a gathering place for gearheads across the country to gather, share, and race. Here are some of the beauties we found.
