Sunday was an annual event known as “Dream Machines” in Half Moon Bay, California. It’s basically a gearhead’s wet dream as it’s filled with old airplanes, old utility motors, vintage tractors and of course, lots and lots of cars, mainly old school muscle cars but the event is open to anyone and lots of great cars came out. There were many cool slammed ones as well. The weather started out cloudy and a bit cold but by 12 the sun had come out to warm things up and both skies made for interesting backdrops. Plenty of people came out to show off their prized possession.

The first car I saw entering the show is one of my favorite cars ever, a Porsche 911, this one in a nice racing style

The grey and black fuchs were a perfect choice this car.

Not far from the Porsche was this nice… um… Buick? I’m not super knowledgeable on old American cars and I forgot to take pictures of some of the cars’ window paper that said the year, make and model so please excuse any errors and if you spot one let me know and I can fix it.


Bel Air Convertible.

Cool Ford Galaxie

This Buick makes me want to go on craigslist and find a one for a cheap project. Really good looking car.

Someone brought out their minty burgundy E9 on Alpina wheels.

Local group of bagged trucks came out to showcase their rides and I loved the deep dish brushed metal lips on this one.

Amongst the trucks was this nicely bagged 300c and looked great with this color combo and shaved doors.

Most of the trucks in this group were running this interesting frame setup.

You don’t see too many of these, a ford two wagon I’m unsure of what it is (and couldn’t find searching) and a drag prepped b110.

Under the hood of the ford you can spot a large intercooler on top of the engine and a turbo just under it.

You don’t see too many of these old muscle wagons.

Someone brought out their collection old bikes, both pedal and motorized.

Very clean old ford truck.

This old man came out with his rickety jalopy that looks like it came out of the grapes of wrath or something. Hard to believe it worked.

And amazingly the dmv gave it plates.

What’s a car show without bugs? But wait this is Slamburglars…

Warmer…

WARMER!

YOU’RE HOT!!!1!!!1!


This bug is very special.

The engine looks nothing special, but the thing is it’s a fake.

And the tires are wider than normal.


The real engine is up front, total sleeper.

Relative of the beetle, the 914.

Odd lowered cars are cool, like this Rambler American

Or this Chevy pickup with a camper on the back.

As you would guess there was plenty of modified old trucks



Kinda odd for an older car to wear a hood bra.

This one here was basically perfect.

A mobile dyno was on site and this truck did 408hp/408tq. *not bad obama face*

A few Datsuns came out.










Challenger + Airrex Struts + Accuair Management + VIP Modular Wheels = This

Pretty cool shot I got.

VW Vans, man.





Corvette on Hayashi Racing wheels



Slammed army vehicle

Golf R on H.R.E.s

Mean Cobra on CCWs

Chameleon paint Bel Air

To end this post, an oni camber tractor.

That Ford with the turbo is a Ford Pinto Cruising Wagon (yes, that is the name) with a 2.3t likely from a fox Mustang.
Legendary!
Thank you for the great article and images.
