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.

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.

People used to identify with their cars. Not so much any longer.

These cars are works of art.

Enough words for this post. I have lots more photos. I love rat rods but I am going to do another post for that.
