nomad's land
Besides coupes, station wagons are – imho – the only cool body style of post war cars. And while I'm not a big fan of tri chevys, I especially like the '55 nomads with their factory radiused rear whe...

One of the best parts of a hot rod show is getting there. (photos © Beat Schuppli)
Maybe you remember that drive down sunset strip in 1964. Here we got something similar but what really adds to the awesomeness is that it is from the 1940s! Hot rod archaeologists may have to pay spe...

The 1940 Ford Coupe is one of the nicest cars of the 30s and 40s. It's a beauty in stock condition but also makes for a great kustom and even works with a hot rod stance. This is how I saw Paul's for...
The annual Headbanging in Finsterwalde, Germany is the closest you can get to entering a time-machine and heading back to the post-war era. Limited to pre-58 cars and taking place on an old military ...

Remember the other dirt track event earlier this summer? German movie makers faust & heisler produced this great little vid about the 2011 Rust'n Dust Jalopy Race so we can ride along and enjoy it fr...
Why is it that all the good events have to happen on the same weekend. One can't be everywhere and it seems like I can't do anything about it yet. So, it's great to count on the support of good frien...
When it comes to high quality car culture videos, the name Josh Clason is a hallmark of excellence. Whether he covers hot rods or japanese cars or anything else with wheels, you can be sure to look f...
The final w.a.r. wasn't much of a war but rather a cool little car show with a lot of nice people. The term "final" on the other hand was the unfortunate truth as the amazing location, an old warehou...
During my last california trip in June, I came across these ageing beauties. I don't remember where it was but it was a cool sight in the evening light. Follow the link to see more roadside relics.
Check out Flake & Flames - Teaser III and take a sneak peak into the world of "Flake & Flames", an upcoming Kustom Kulture documentary featuring international artists like Dirty Donny, COOP, The Pizz...

On a nice summer day, grandpa did a cruise with his grandkids. He enjoyed it a lot but he could hardly keep up with the youngsters' pace. Oh youth.
To be honest, I don't like collecting stuff. It just keeps getting in my way, it eats my money and it collects dust. So, it's cool to visit the collections of other people. That way, it's their busin...
I ran across these two classic Chevys by pure coincidence. And that's one of the things I love about California. The birthplace of car culture. Picture taken in May 2011.
Dana Harvey's 1933 Ford Roadster, built by Circle City Hot Rods. I took this picture in early June 2011.
The annual a-bombers old style weekend in Sweden is one of the best and oldest traditional hot rod and custom events in Europe. And the number and attitude of cars never ceases to amaze me. Check out...
We all know those car show pics. But luckily, there are other ways of capturing a car show. UK based photographer Nick Grant is a master at finding that different angle, that view beyond the obvious....
Got up at sunrise on saturday morning and took the 49 for a spin. The early light was fantastic and turned the meadows to gold and green. Perfect timing for a little photoshoot.
The first movie on Fuel Tank TV is online: Factory 6: Craig Metros. "Craig Metros is a Detroit born car designer, artist and hot rod builder and talks to us about moving from Detroit to Melbourne, wh...
There's something special about old color photographs. Not unlike that movie I posted some time ago, they seem to bring you closer to the past. If you dig stuff like that, feel free to dive into the ...
"Customs are for getting girls. Hot rods are for getting rid of them." Not necessarily, I tell you. Have a fantastic weekend.
One of the coolest places in Zurich is the »Offene Rennbahn Oerlikon«. It's an old concrete race track built in 1912 for bicycle racing. Once a year, they use it for show runs with vintage race cars ...
