A few trucks from the 2019 Portand Roadster truck.

Very few in fact as there weren't many AD or TF trucks in the show to begin with.

The Blue AD was in a wheel display and had a knock out beautiful blue paint color.

Re: A few trucks from the 2019 Portand Roadster truck.

Cute little stock AD but why do guys who are "restoring" a truck to showroom stock think the engines are orange?
Between the orange engine and a color combo that didn't exist from the factroy on AD trucks (no different color fenders) it was pretty nice.

Re: A few trucks from the 2019 Portand Roadster truck.

I tried a couple of different times to get to the other side of this TF but it seemed to be the most popular rig in the show spectator wise. My buddy would be talking how "radical" it was for hours.

Sorry about the bad photos of it. The truck didn't appeal to me but the work was top notch.

Broke my not rat rod photos rule on the other one simply because it was and AD and they were few and far between this year. Pretty scary workmanship there.

Re: A few trucks from the 2019 Portand Roadster truck.

Just as I walked up to this Cameo to take photos the whole Roadster show judging team showed up in mass.

By far the best looking of any trucks in the show no matter what brand or year and it had a great display to boot.

The last photo came off my phone that may have worked better indoors than the camera did.

Re: A few trucks from the 2019 Portand Roadster truck.

A couple of later models including a patina 67/68 and a pretty decent sqare burb.
The F100 was pretty slick even if it is ot but trucks were scarece outside of pre war Fords.

The Deco cab over was pretty interesting.

That's it. The show was a bit of a dissapointment this year because the over all quality of vehicles was quite low to me. Too many patina rigs, too many rat rods and over in the high school display there really wasn't anything offered and if you were in Auto shop in the Portland area you got to enter your car it appears.

There was a custom car display that had several well known custom cars on display that were the big draw for me.

Re: A few trucks from the 2019 Portand Roadster truck.

Saw it but didn't find it interesting enough to take a photo of when I only had one camera battery with me. I'll be real honest in saying that normally I only take photos of about 30% of the cars and trucks in a show as too many just don't spin my wheels enough to warrant a photo. This year it was camera battery and people getting in the way that cut down the total photos There were less than a 20 nice trucks all together in the show if you counted the late models in some of the vendor displays.

Here is another shot of the Blue AD a 54 with a padded top that was in with the rat rods and a nifty power wagon.
. I am only half way at getting the rest of the photos ready to post to Smugmug.

Wow, I figured that it was a total trailer queen. That truck probably drew a bigger crowd than any rig in the show as there were always so many people in front of it I couldn't begin to get a shot of the other side.
