Saturday I headed to Tulsa’s Expo Square to check out the Starbird Car Show. I have been going every year the last several years.
This car show features one of a kind cars, Custom Cars that are heavily modified for shows.
High gloss paint jobs and displayed with lights and mirrors.
I think the owners spend a lot more money than they will ever receive.
But I, along with lots of others, love to look at them. I had never seen such crowsds at the show before. It seems cars have had steadily lower status in our culture for years now.
“Kandy Gold Color”
People used to identify with their cars. Not so much any longer.
“Jade Idol II
These cars are works of art.
And not very practical.
Enough words for this post. I have lots more photos. I love rat rods but I am going to do another post for that.
I am linking with Our World Tuesday

I just love old retro and vintage cars especially the yellow one – looks very sci-fi.
I had a co-worker who was into fixing up the old cars. I think they invested lots of $$ in them and they’d travel all over the country to show them. Whatever makes you happy. I like the jade Fairlane.
My husband and I had a vehicle we took to car shows and parades but after he passed away I sold it. I really like going to car shows.
I like the 38 Chevy best
I do love old cars and these are all beauties!
I favor the 38 chevy!

I think old cars is a guy thing. Bob would like this show. I’d like a ride in that yellow bubble sports car.
Spectacular vintage cars, Yogi. They don’t make them like this any longer!
Wow. I love the lighting on these cars – it adds so much to the glamor! What I like best about them are the colors – certainly shades you would never find on a stock model today – the colors have become so boring …. thanks for sharing these one-of-a-kind masterpieces with us!
So shiny! Nice.
Awesome cars. Beautiful pics.
Hello, they are neat cars, some do look like works of art. Wonderful details. Great photos.
Enjoy your day, have a happy week ahead!
Both hubby and I would enjoy this car show. The cars are so beautiful!
Looks like a lot of fun
I’ll stick with the little trailer.
I´ve all ways loved vintage cars, especial American ones. And these all looks mighty cool. Really love the -49 Buick, orange is my fav color. Thank you so much for sharing!
OMG. Stunning.
My jaw dropped….
Missed it again!!! I really need to put this event on my calendar and make the trip to Tulsa to enjoy the show. I learned how to drive in a ’38 Chevy sedan. I still have a Barrett-Jackson auction on my bucket list. Thanks fro sharing some great photos. Have a blessed day Yogi.
