Second Annual Spokane Speed And Custom Show

Story and photos Brian Curtis

The second annual indoor custom car show at the Spokane County Fair and Expo Center was a wonderful experience. The buildings were filled with the greatest of customs, rods and related cool machines. Nostalgia cars were in abundance! Remembering the hot rods of the past and show cars from years gone by were all of us old guys who have been involved in the hobby for many decades. We saw the Orange Crate, the Widow, the '48 Anglia, and Touche' Away '32 Ford coupe and others. Several cars have been making the show circuit for many years and bring memories to those of us who have seen them.

The new builds are exciting. Having Mabelline, the '58 Lincoln, the Mulholland Speedster, '36 Packard and other excellent quality cars from top notch builders in the northwest made this show one not to miss. Brian Anderson and his crew of volunteers did an amazing job putting this event together. Looking forward to the next one!
