Top 11 Viva Car Show Favorites – You VOTE!
I think its safe to say that there’s a little bit of everything at Viva Las Vegas. So instead of just bringing you back pictures of all the cool stuff we saw at VLV13 – Pikesan, Swanee, and I thought we’d give ya’ll a chance to put in your own two cents. So time to VOTE!
MyRideisMe’s first official, Top 11 Viva Las Vegas Car Show Favorites!
We’re each including our top three picks (plus one from my Dad, plus Pikesan’s added a 4th) …making for a varied and diverse choice of 11! Leave a comment and vote for your choice!
From Kristin & her Pops, Picks and Pics:
#1 Suede 1953 Chevy Custom with fade…
#2 Suede Ford Pickup with Green Flames
#3 (another) Suede 1936 Ford 3 Window Coupe
#4 Custom ??
From Pikesan, Picks and Pics:
I’m cheating and making it the top 11. Never conform, right!? I would have ended up with all customs (and what’s with the orange theme?) so I picked a pair of hot rods to contend!
#5 Pike’s Pic of the 1953 Chevy Kustom with fade…
(sorry GreaseGirl! This is probably my favorite pic from the show!)
#6 Orange 1953 Mercury Mild Custom
#7 Unpainted 1940 Mercury Coupe from the Dead Sleds
#8 (Pikesan’s bonus pic/pick) Pair of Patina’d Model A’s
Then from Paul “Swanee” Swanson, my chief shutter wizard, Picks and Pics:
If you don’t know Swanee, he’s a man of few words. I think he’d say, “I like these best.”
#9 “Lil Dutch Model A 5 Window Coupe
#10 Racer Paul Tracy’s 1951 Mercury Custom
#11 Rusty Model T Surfin Coupe

I gotta go with #6, the 53 Merc. Not only was the car sick, but it had a kick’n stereo tucked into the trunk. This was my favorite from Viva. The 53 Chevy was a close second… that paint was too cool. Keith Kaiser, is this how Gene Winfield’s painting your car??
53 Chevy…your pic is better overall of course pikesan, but I like that mine shows the color. Gee, 3 suede picks from me…it seems I have a thing for suede!
I had to go with the 51 Merc, love the flames…
I liked #3, it is more my style. I’m not the low to the ground type and too young for the Model T types. Nice picture everyone!!
I had to go with #9, the A coupe. I’m just a sucker for white walls, white headers and traditional hot rods. A super close second is #1, the orange suede custom.
#8 The Model A’s its more my style and a close second is #9
Cool Ride!! Its an Extension of who you really are… Cool…
It’s always great to see the Kreations that only Rick Murray could dream up. Keep the shows going Rick your truly a legend in your own time. Such a display of talent for as long as I have known you, you never cease to amaze me your number one fan Diana
# 5. hands down.
#4 Has got to be the BEST! You just never know what is going to be thought of next – way to go RIck!
#4 – Sensational for a custom built car!!! Kreations of a mad scientist is all I can say.
#5 sure catches the eye, but I’m partial to 49-54 chevy’s
#9 Going Dutch!!!!….I love’s me a bitchin motor in a cool hot rod and they did a awesome job carrying the them through out the hot rod……=]
“awesome job carrying the theme throughout the hot rod”
#4 Seems inspired by the old school masters. When you find out it was built from spare parts and in only 52 days, exceptional!
A TRUE RAD ROD is #2 Ford Pickup. There is nothing like rust, cracks, scratches, bare seats……and so on! The Patina Model A’s are also awesome. You dont need fancy paint, plush seats, air conditioner, radio…… For a gal like me as long as its LOUD and RUMBLES!!!
# 4 is wild
#2 I like the ford with green flames its a true rat rod. there were so many neat little tricks the builder came up with the picture does not give this truck justice,disc brakes all around. hand built frame,they took junk like an old Craiger center cap and turned it into a gas cap,turned one mans junk into his treasure . if that don’t say rat rod then i don’t know what does ..anyone can bolt on aftermarket parts if they have money but this truck is captures the true meaning of Rat rod….OLD FORDS NEVER DIE …ROCK ON
#2 THE BEST ONE IV’E SEEN!!!! BAD ASS FORD!!!!
#4 ROCKS!!
got to give it to #2 all the way has the support group good picture in his head of what he want and one hell of a builder for a true rat rod not a car from a comic book rat rods are suppose to be old time dragsters not undriveable comic cars!!!!!!!!
#2 is a bad litlle truck. Nothing like having all original body and a lot of imagination to add all that other stuff in the man’s head.
I like Mercury
All those Hot Rods are on point.
