The Best Car of 2023...and it's a Buick. The Cal Auto 60 Invicta + What's in the Shop/67 Vette

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

First off Happy New Year, and Welcome to 2024
We are ending the Year with a bang ,and photographing the simply amazing 60 Buick Invicta by Cal Auto Creations for GoodGuys and Modern Rodding.
The Buick won everything it entered in 23 starting with the Slonaker Award at GNRS then an elite list of the best of the best shows across the US.
The list included:
GoodGuys Custom Rod of the Year
Triple Crown of Rodding Best Custom
SEMA Battle of the Builders overall winner at the SEMA show, and the list goes on and on and on.
Also while I was there I had Erik Hanson give me a quick walk through of his daily driver blown flathead powered hotrod, and my second favorite Corvette of 23 haha.
Hope y'all have a great New Year, and enjoyed the video Im going to do more of these in the New Year.
Thanks for Watching

    Happy New Year as well, and thanks for watching. Wish I would have had a bare metal video for all you guys to go along with it, but just wasn’t in the cards.

    Superb Buick! The engine didn’t sound like a 401. No wonder it’s a winner with so much attention to detail. So pleased that your van is back up and running. I will look forwards to your work throughout 2024 that’s for sure. Cheers and all the best take care.

    Yea that engine bay is a knockout just like the rest of the car. The van has been running great I’m currently sleeping in it at Johnsons hotrod shop doing some photo work on their upcoming AMBR contender that will debut next month at the roadster show. Looking forward to making and posting more videos this year so I’m glad at least one person will watch 😂

    Hey thanks for the kind words, and I love Nebraska……… when it’s not December 😂 . I actually kept putting it off after Scottsdale goodguys trying to get a day in the 50’s, but I think that happened two days after I left. Thanks for watching I’m going to do more of these shop/car videos this year just trying to figure out how I want to do them.
