TOM MEDLEY PASSES
 Courtesy Rodder's Journal As many of you have undoubtedly heard, Tom Medley has passed away He was born in 1920 and would have turned 94 on March 20th of this year. When we think of Tom Medley the first thing that comes to mind for many of us is the jovial and slightly mischievous cartoon character that he created back in 1948; Stroker McGurk. But, after hearing of his passing we began to give a little more thought to what he had accomplished in his lifetime and it is truly amazing. It has been said that there aren't very many people who leave this world markedly different than it might have been if it weren't for their efforts. Tom Medley was certainly such a person. How many others can say that their names were on the masthead of Hot Rod Magazine starting with the second issue back in February of 1948? Medley stayed at the old Petersen Publishing until retirement in 1985 and always seemed to be in the center of the action. He created the iconic Stroker McGurk character for Hot Rod's third issue, was listed as the Cartoon and Humor Editor and contributed many of the best-remembered early photo features. Tom became Hot Rod's ad manager with the May 1955 issue and in the late-'50s he was deeply involved with a group of racecar builders and hot rodders that created the go-kart movement. After spending a little more than a decade as ad manager at HRM, Medley was named the publisher at Rod & Custom in December of 1965. At the time, R&C covered everything from drag racing and go-karts to model cars, mini-bikes, street rods and indoor car shows.

CLICK above to view LORDS OF THE CAR HOARDERS  Every year finding unrestored classic American cars is becoming a thing of the past. But there's a secret treasure trove of automotive relics that still exists: Car Hoards -- the last frontier of the American Classic Car. Now, WWE superstar Chuck Palumbo and hot rod guru, Rick Dore are out to rebuild legendary cars and help car hoarders thin out their stockpiles of classic cars in LORDS OF THE CAR HOARDS.  Each episode of LORDS OF THE CAR HOARDS features Palumbo and Dore helping car hoarders by offering them a deal: pick one dream car from their overcrowded car collection to rebuild while covering the costs of the remake by parting with and selling other cars and car parts from their massive hoard. Every hoard is a surprise, a treasure hunt, and Palumbo and Dore don't always know what they're getting into. Junky hoards mean tight budgets and tight deadlines which is unknown in the custom car world. The pressure is on and they don't always get along, but together they have a passion for cars that touches these hoarders' lives, changing them forever.  Palumbo, the 6'6" athlete and wrestling superstar holds numerous world wrestling titles, including two WWE Tag team titles and four WCW World Tag Team titles. He left WWE in 2008 to pursue his passion for cars and motorcycles. As a longtime hot rod purist, Palumbo is in it to win it. Dore, a classic car legend known for his vivid imagination, has been in the custom car building game for more than two decades. He's been inducted into numerous automotive halls of fame and his one-of-a-kind creations regularly grace the covers and pages of hot rod magazines, including Rod & Custom, Rodder's Journal and Custom Rodder.  A recent Dore creation, The Black Pearl, won every category in its class at the 2014 Grand National Roadster Show.  On Discovery Monday March 17, 2014 10/9 Central

HUMOR ?
A woman answered the knock at her door and found a destitute man. He wanted to earn money by doing odd jobs, so she asked, "Can you paint?"
"Yes," he said, "I'm a pretty good painter."
"Well, there's a gallon of green paint and a brush out back, and a porch that needs repainting. Be very careful. When you're done, I'll look it over and pay you what it's worth."
It wasn't more than an hour before he knocked again. "All finished!", he reported with a smile.
"Did you do a good job?" she asked.
"Yes, but lady, there's one thing I'd like to point out to you," he said, "That's not a Porsche back there -- it's a Mercedes!"
You know its time to change your car when..... 1. You spend more on oil than on gas 2. Your car leaves three types of liquid in your parking space 3. You offer a friend a lift and they say no because they are in a hurry 4. You feel good if you beat a cyclist at the lights 5. You get invited to join a car restoration club 6. Your neighbors all chip in to buy you a car cover 7. Your car leaves more smoke than a David Copperfield show. 8. Hitch hikers hide when they see you coming 9. And Finally, you know its time to change that car when some old timer tells you that they are the best car ever made.

THE DAY THE L.A. AUTO SHOW WENT
UP IN FLAMES
Courtesy Daniel Strohl - Hemmings Daily
Hundreds of show cars went up in flames 85 years ago at the Los Angeles Auto Show.
Unlike today's auto shows held in permanent structures, the 1929 Los Angeles Auto Show took place in a group of four tents set up on the southeast corner of Washington Boulevard and Hill Street, on what appeared to be an empty lot at the time, with a renaissance fair-looking entrance facing the boulevard. Also unlike today's auto shows, the 1929 Los Angeles Auto Show included displays from aviation companies, one of which was Monocoupe builder Mono Aircraft of Moline, Illinois, which a year prior had moved from Davenport, Iowa, when it became a subsidiary of Velie Motors. We know this because the Los Angeles Times reported that it was near the Monocoupe display that the fire began on the afternoon of March 5.
What exactly caused the fire was the source of some confusion. Initial reports blamed an errant cigarette, while followups attributed it to an electrical short. Whatever the cause, the fire spread quickly, aided by the wind (and, as reported, by the fuel in the tanks of the vehicles in the show), though not so quick as to prevent the 2,500 or so spectators in the tents to escape. Nobody was killed, and only three people - two of them firefighters - were injured.The tents and their contents, however, were a total loss, as illustrated..........CLICK on the photo to read the article and view the photos.

AMERICAN RESTORATION
 AMERICAN RESTORATION on the History Channel features Rick Dale and his crew of loose screws at Rickīs Restorations in Las Vegas, Nevada, as they take rusty, beat-up items and restore them to their original glory. Whether itīs a giant gas pump from the 1940s or a Hopalong Cassidy bicycle from the 1950s, every restoration is a high-stakes business project where worthless rust is transformed into a valuable collectible. However, these restorations arenīt easy. Every project presents unique challenges for Rick and his team. 
When it comes to restoration, Rick Dale is the Pawn Stars go-to guy. AMERICAN RESTORATION follows Rick's work as owner of Las Vegas-based Rick's Restorations, a family business that finds, restores and up-cycles cool objects ranging from Cadillacs to Coke Machines.  Rick's very nice Ford F-1 Pickup can be spotted on various episodes of American Restoration. Did we mention Rick's pickup is:

FIREROCK GRILL
The Sheepherder Inn is now THE FIREROCK GRILL
Back in 1913 The Citrus Inn opened in this very building on Folsom Boulevard. Citrus was sold in front of the building to everyone that passed by on busy Folsom Boulevard.
Folsom Boulevard was a main thoroughfare for the gold rush in the mid 1800s. Many immigrants and forty-niners were in search of some of the gold that James W Marshall and John Sutter found in the American River. The railroads that are still visible across the street today were the same railroads that were constructed in the late 1800s.
Rumor has it that over the years The Citrus Inn became many different businesses, including The Edwards Hotel, and at one point, a brothel. Everyone came to the building to eat good food and to have a good time. There was drinking and dancing 'til late at night.
Later, the building became known as Sheepherder Inn. It was a place for Basque sheepherders to come and rest upstairs in the Inn and enjoy a hearty meal downstairs, which probably consisted of meats, fish, lamb stews, legumes, cheeses and Basque cider.

Lee detailing his bike with Surf City Garage Speed Demon Wax Detailer. He was so impressed with the products that he stocked up on it. He was not sure if it was going to be available back home in Georgia.  Lee was at the show with his award winning bike and display each day. And each day, all day, he would let the kids hop up on the bike (with Lee's help) and have a photo taken. The kids just lit up! You just don't see this happen with bikes of this quality and details..... Thanks Lee!  In the hallway to the Suede Pavillion at the Sacramento Autorama.
