Ron Brooks recently was given an old photo album to copy that includes a lot of very neat Bay Area Hot Rod and Custom Car photos. Ron is sharing these on his Facebook page and we will be sharing them here for everybody else who does not use Facebook and to keep them here all collected.A lot of them are Hot Rod oriented, but there are some Custom Cars in the pictures as well, and these photos show how it was back then really well.
From Ron Brook….
“Some times the planets do align! Everyone knows I love Hot Rod History. This morning at breakfast my buddy Jimmy Frey drops an old photo album in my lap for me to copy photos. After looking at the photos for a while, I realized there were lots of photos of my first car , long before I owned it .The first photo is from the 1951 Oakland Roadster Show , second photo is of his club , the Hayward Rod Benders and the Benderetts , third photo is me in 1968. What a find!”
