NSRA STREET MACHINE NATIONALS LOUISVILLE KY 2022 PART #1



 CARHUNTER ADVICE; 

You should attend the NSRA Nationals at least once if you like 1000's of hot rods, distillery tours, Bourbon and Baseball Bats!!  


The Kentucky Expo Center is a vast venue with large inside display areas and large outside display areas.






Rain led us into the huge building to find many vendors and the best of the best vehicles on display!










This Roadster is just perfect!







Who knew a red interior with blue body works so well!














There was a lot to see on this one, too much to mention?



Turbos in the headlamp assemblies!










CARHUNTER loves finding old school survivor cars

























Gasser Gulley! 








Oh that rain persisted, I guess it thought it was the Nationals South in Knoxville!




























It's the Esso Oil Drop man and his girlfriend!








I had fun here, but no one beleived me that this was a stock GMC truck option TWIN SIX GMC engines forming a V12 702 CI; 1 block, 4 heads. I was getting dirty looks from people who wanted to believe someone welded 2 engine together! 







Very rare arais V6 HEMI





A bunch O' 32's coming up


Blast from the past



















Still an OHC SPRINT SIX






Hey it's Glenn See!! With PROhabition!






















Gotta look around as in events this large you may never spot that car again and I did not! Chevy Monza 
































5.7 Diesel factory, no was not a converted gas engine, it just used the the Olds Gas engine measurements! 










































Kelmark GT kit car










A Packard Hawk, they went out with a bang in 1958, but it is just a Studebaker with added fiberglass pieces, but I still want one!  





Look at this, a pair of 39 Plymouths!
































Willys's!



































Yeah? Nah! Maybe? 
























































Interesting, I guess if it is bolted solid up front only 1 tire works on it!








Graham Shark Nose!











I wanted to get more info, but my attention was pulled away!




















Louisville is UPS's Hub and they are a big sponsor plus we saw UPS planes all day heading into the nearby airport. 










What a custom Opel GT! Oddly not getting too much attention, but CARHUNTER gave it some love!









Don't ya just love Kustom Kemps?









Rare Ardun Hemi heads for flathead Fords


Not much info to be found on this one!








Yes UPS has restored parcel trucks! 



















I still don't get the expanding vehicles allowances when they have their own events? 





























Always thought AMC Rebels were overlooked













Ben Hur was here!
