Images ~ Street Image x Toyota SEMA Project Vehicles

Once again Toyota contracted the masterminds at Street Image to produce a couple of vehicles for the annual SEMA show. Eric Valdes was given a Toyota Venza and a Toyota Camry Hybrid this year and here are the results of the builds. The Toyota Venza, a staple of school carpools, morphed into a dream ride for extreme athletes at the 2009 SEMA Auto Show. The Toyota/Billabong Ultimate Venza is laden with gear for outdoor lovers, including a heated shower system, a custom roof rack and a hidden...

Here are some more shots from the SEMA show yesterday. Stephanie & I spent the day at the show again and then headed home. Look for more coverage in a future issue of DUB Magazine. When we were checking out of the hotel, we ran into OG ABEL who was staying there too. We walked over to the show together and we hung out at the House of Kolor booth while he did a demo. This was in the House of Kolor booth. So low, so sick, so green! Alex from Bakersfield finished this Monte Carlo in time for the...

Interview with the Builder of our “Guess the JDM Minivan” Minivan

Thanks to all the participants in the “Guess the JDM Minivan” posting here on CarDomain. We do have a winner, and its noname666, who happened to guess it almost when the posting went live. So much for the experts here at SEMA! Continue reading after the jump! Any way, I did an interview with the creator of this one-of-a-kind custom (I say one-of-a-kind, because unlike Japan, there are virtually no JDM Minivans available in the US). Introducing Mr. Shin Okamoto from AirRunner...

Italian Masterpiece Art on an Italian Masterpiece

This Lamborghini Gallardo was sitting next to the Tap Out slammed Surburban at the Goin’ Hard Wheel booth, and while I find customized Exotic Cars quite nauseating, this one was actually quite tasteful. Continue reading after the jump! I couldn’t find any information as to the actual sculpture this artwork is based on, but it is a depiction of the Madonna and the body of her son Jesus. If I remember anything about the original, it is sculpted in Italian marble, and housed in either the...

International Street Rod flavour part 2

As promised, we offer some additional photos from Australian car shows with a definite American car influence. These shots were taken by our friend Rhonda Martinez at the Custom Hot Rod Show in Newstead, Victoria, on October 4. My favorite is the rat rod pickup truck, but the finned Cadillac looks very much like the 1960 model 62 we have sitting in the museum here at Hemmings HQ.

IMSA GTV Gallardo LP 560-4

Der Lamborghini-Spezialist IMSA hat dem neuen Gallardo LP560-4 neben einem Leistungskit auch optisch ein wenig auf die Sprünge geholfen. Neben einer neuen Frontschürze, Radhausverbreiterungen für vorne und hinten und neuen Seitenschweller verbaute IMSA eine Heckschürze sowie einen für mehr Abtrieb sorgenden Spezial-Heckflügel. Alle Komponenten wurden dabei in Handarbeit aus hochwertigstem Kohlefasergewebe gefertigt. Besonders edel wirkt die polierte Edelstahlauspuffanlage, die für...

Saturday morning I had to been in San Diego first thing in the morning for a photoshoot.  The Impala was not the subject of the photoshoot, the owner of the car was but I couldn’t resist snapping a few of the ragtop! On the way back from San Diego I stopped in Pomona to say hello to my friends from Groupe CC. They were having a show in the Pomona Arts Colony. Saturday night was Halloween with the family. Here’s Caila, Julian and Jackson getting ready to head out for the candy...

It’s A Diesel!

Another thing that’s going to be huge at SEMA this year? Diesel performance, and not just on trucks. This big mean Caddy puts a hot-rod spin on the trend, with a Viva Las Vegas-style sparkle top and a pretty burly turbo peeking out of a hole in the hood. I’m really looking forward to finding out more about this badass oil-burner.

International Street Rod flavour pt. 1

Nicely done right hand drive ‘34 convertible coupe. One of my great friends from Australia, Rhonda Martinez, who is full bore into American-built motorcycles and street rods sent me some great pictures from two street rod events from down under earlier this week. They look like your typical car show resto-rods and radical one-off street rods, however, many of them are right hand drive which only makes them even more interesting to me. Some of these photos were from the Castlemaine...

IMSA Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4 GTV: Der geschliffene Kampfstier

Der Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4 stellt eine Symbiose aus extrovertiertem Design und Fahrleistungen auf Rennwagen-Niveau dar – ganz im Zeichen des Logos mit dem wilden Kampfstier. IMSA nahm den schnellen Italiener unter seine Fittiche und präsentiert jetzt das gesamte Paket, nachdem der deutsche Veredeler im Februar 2009 einen ersten Vorgeschmack gab. Für den mehr als kräftigen Vortrieb sorgt eine Leistungssteigerung auf satte 590 PS. Im Falle des aktuellen Gallardo LP560-4 musste IMSA die...

Industry Analysis: Carflation, or The Ongoing Bloat of Once-Small Vehicles

Have you ever noticed that the car model you owned in the past has grown in size, in weight, and in displacement? This phenomenon affects almost every car line from BMW to Honda, with a few exceptions. Remember when the name Honda was synonymous with lightweight, economical cars? The company established itself in the United States in 1970 with the N600, a small four-seater. It hit pay dirt with the introduction of the larger 1973 Honda Civic, a car that was light and fuel-efficient yet could...
