I don't think we'll find a single EV in this review of the oddities of this year's Hot Rod Power Tour.

Just take some time to look at these beauties! Think of the hours spent to create them!!

Participation was huge this year with over 5500 who did the entire Long Hauler (entire tour) and lots more who did day trips to participate. Here's more info on this year's event:

OAG - 2022 HRPT Long Hauler



For me, I started in and returned to Wisconsin - 2600 miles round trip!

I thought that tri-five Nomads were expensive until I saw this '56 Pontiac Safari version listed for $175K..

We're having a string of beautiful Fall days here in WI. It begged me to get the latest toy out and go find some spots for photography.

(Winner's Circle at Road America)

There are some roads we wish would just go on forever on a day like this............

Nice, and nice color. A future collectable classic for sure.

I bought one for my ex wife, an '05 (last year made), black on black, got plenty of compliments (German tourist wanted to buy it from me at a gas station) but it was somewhat of a lemon, unfortunately. It had engine knock (detonation) even with the highest octane gas I could find and the dealer could never get the tires and wheels properly balanced. Sold it when we split up..
