With my parents living in North Carolina, I don’t get to see them more than once or twice a year now, so when they came up to visit over the last week, I wanted to get in some guy time with Dad. Too cold for the garage, so the day after Christmas, I took him to the Saratoga Automobile Museum to see the Right Coast Rods exhibit, where I snapped a few photos to share here. It’s an impressive exhibit, giving credence to an often overlooked subset of hot rodding with its assembly of unique cars that blurred the lines between hot rodding and customizing.
As for my dad, he’s always been a muscle car guy, and aside from a year in Rhode Island as a young teenager, he never lived in the Northeast, so I didn’t think these would be right up his alley, but he nonetheless enjoyed seeing how the cars were modified and appreciated all the stories that went along with the different cars.
The Right Coast Rods exhibit at Saratoga will run through May 8.
