Jeep FC 170 Forward Control | '62 Impala | '69 Barracuda | Olds 442 | '54 Chevy | Gold Rush Car Show

Nestled in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada, Oroville, CA plays host to the Gold Rush Car Show, where we mine automotive gold like a '54 Chevy, a strong '69 Cuda, Forward Control Jeep, an Olds 442, and a. Already close to gold, this custom tangerine "54 Chevy exemplifies a well done custom. All the standard shaved and cleaned choices, but also retaining a lot of what's good about the original. A very clean, mild custom with eye catching color contrasting with the white inside and out. The Barracuda clearly isn't stock either, modified in the way these old muscle car bodies beg to be. Not classy. Powerful. This streetable, full race build is not a "sleeper". It runs in the 10s and is an interesting combo of street and strip. About as unique as any custom you'll ever see, this "Forward Control" Jeep is the craziest STOCK thing you're gonna see all day. Sitting above the wheels, this is sort of their version of a Cab Over. Part of the oddness is just how tall it is, and for some Jeeps that's saying something. Minimalist interior and exterior, it's all business. Kind of a power wagon feel with a funky cab. Ready to do work, not that you're gonna with something this rare and nice. The 442 has an interesting color choice, but it too is factory, as rare a combo as it may be. The interior too, period, and nicely restored to "Code G" Willow Gold. So cool. Like showroom all around. Back to the tasteful customs, we round it out with a '62 Impala 409. They never came in this color combo! Red-Line Red and a Dupont Alabaster, trimmed with green. You could tell someone you were choosing these colors and you wouldn't give it a though, but it really works in practice. This also was the first year for the fake "convertible roof", and you can really make out the pseudo ribs in the top. Stock in pattern, the interior has been updated in leather and carries through the color scheme throughout. Even the speedometer! Stock font, updated color. Engine turned metalwork flowing all over, even the 409 engine magnificently carries the theme. Absolutely stunning to see when truly everything has been touched on the car to make every inch a work of art.
