Black Betty, A 50's Caddy With Great Style.

How can ya have a Rockabilly show without a classic Cadillac? Fortunately we didn't have to find out because Black Betty here showed up for the show. Once again I didn't get much info, this time it's because I was in a hurry to get in and hear the bands. Sorry, that's how it goes sometimes. I gave the owner one of my cards so if you see this go ahead and post some details in the comments. Basically from what I could see the car is mostly stock with a few choice mods. The paint is flat black, but the roof was bright green and shining like a gem. Throw on a little pinstriping to get people to stop asking what color it was gonna get painted and you have this sweet ride.


Love the wide whites and Caddy hubcaps.


You can see the shiny green roof here.


The proud owner of this fine ride.


Love the small fins on these cars.


Nice view of the pinstriping.


Very cool plasma cut metal adorning the engine. This is a great very lightly molested car that I would LOVE to own. I hope this ride sees a million more miles before it reaches the end.


 How could I post this car without sharing the pic I took of the Big Boy tattoo? Gotta love it. Saw a TON of great ink, but I felt weird about just walking up to people I didn't know to get pics. I'll get over that one day, it's just a left over from those awkward shy teenage years .



Some of the hula hoop practice got a little interesting.

The Rockabilly Luau was a Blast...

Even though we got rained out before some of the good stuff happened. I saw a couple of songs from a band I didn't get the name of and got to see the entire set from the Psycho Devilles. They even did their last couple of songs in the rain. That's hardcore when your instruments are made of wood. It sucks that the rain cut off the rest of the show, but it was still a good time and I got to see the small car show and a few bikes that were ridden in. I hope they do something like this again. I'd love to go back to Atlanta for more.

Another view, this bike was pretty damn original and looked like it was ready to ride a million miles.


One of the MC's for the show. She was done up right!


Crazy sportbike/Frankenstein with a hand shifter. Pretty wild, but it was ridden in and THAT is always a bonus. Can't say this one is cookie cutter, that's for damn sure.


The other side, dig the extended swingarm and custom made rear section and exhaust.


Hairbraine's chopped Softail. Check out his pinup work!



A few shots of the Psycho Devilles. They put on a great show and I can't wait to see them again.

Singin' in the rain!


Steve "Burnout" Barnett still pounding the skins even with the liquid sunshine.


I told you they were HOT!!



I'll post some more pics later from this one. There were some damn nice cars and a few folks worth showing to ya.
