Aladdin, Truly Spectacular


The name Aladdin sounds a little odd for a lowrider but it fits perfectly for this one as it looks totally out of the world. This 1961 Oldsmobile Starfire owned by John D’agastino is magic or a ‘Genie’ on wheels.

The best part of Aladdin is the halogen lights with the 1954 Chevy big tooth grill in the front that adds sparkle to the vehicle. Painted in beautiful candy apple red, this lowrider has got no door handles like most customs. As far as the tail lights are concerned, they are placed sideways to look stylish. But it doesn’t hamper the classy look of the original Starfire and blends perfectly well with its rocket like look.

Thus this lowrider car has the classic looks of the original Starfire but yet stylish and is truly spectacular.

An Exotic Red Roadster at the Goodguys Show


Ford Roadsters have ruled the roads for many years and they are even considered as well known examples of typical hot rods. We came across an all red 1932 Ford Roadster at the last year's Goodguys Auto Show. Owned by Mac Boone, this hot rod boasts of a Chevy ZZ430 engine, which pumps out over 400hp.

The unique feature of this car is that it's totally red from top to bottom with even red tail lights, red running boards, red fenders, and the red engine. It also has strips inset into the running boards and the color used is an 'hot meltdown' shade of red, not used by any make till now. With a 5-speed manual transmission and custom made gauges made to fit the color of the car, this one's an exotic in its own way amongst other lowriders, hot rods and custom cars.
