Last May we launched the monthly Long Beach Cruise-In. After summer let the weekly @longbeachcruisenight take over. Before I move to Texas who thinks we should have one last cruise-in over here? #hardtotellitsnotthe50s . . . . #greasegirl #thisislongbeach #lbc #longbeach #classiccar #hopup Sweet little lineup of big kid toys at Hot Wheels Legends Show. Catch my full gallery at DrivingLine.com⚡️ . . #greasegirl #drivingline #hotwheelslegends #hotwheels #carshow #automotivephotography #classicvans #gasser WowCrazy nugget of Long Beach history! #Repost @longbeachize ・・・ #TBT time, #LongBeach, and today we go back to May 22, 1958 along #TheLBC/#SignalHill border where one of the worst fires burned for three days and killed two people. Retired Long Beach firefighter Justin Bartlow told the Press-Telegram in an interview honoring the 50th anniversary of the blaze that the fire was so frightening that he "took one look at that smoke and thought maybe I should go back to the Police Department." #lbc #socal #classiccars
Moving... must sale⚡️My ‘60 Ford Falcon is not trekking to Texas with us. Original paint minus redone hood and engine bay. Upgraded front suspension & 200 ci straight-6, Auto trans with floor shifter. Datsun wheels seen here, which are rad, also comes with original wheel/hubcaps. Solid starter car. Search Long Beach Craigslist for it & DM me with questions .. . . . . #fordfalcon #1960 #classiccar #carforsale #hamb Texas bound⚡️LA you’ve been great, but it’s time for bigger pastures. Ethan & I will be landing in the Fort Worth area later this summer & are so excited to make Texas our home! For those of you who work with me and Driving Line... nothing about that is changing, I’ll just be doing my job from another state! To all my LA friends I will miss you but will still be in town frequently & you’re always welcome for a visit at the ranch.♥️ Thinking of that drive I took with Peter Brock, the designer of the Shelby Daytona Coupe and all-around marvelous guy. This car is my favorite of the Shelbys and the design was groundbreaking for the time. I was reminded of Pete & I’s conversation while listening to the news. Pete mentioned if he had the time and money he would dive into design that shifted with movement. [Think: a car that changes shape to brake.] It ends up they’re doing some research into this area in aeronautics right now. Once a visionary, always a visionary⚡️ . . . . #greasegirl #drivingline #peterbrock #shelbydaytona #daytonacoupe #vintageracing #hooverdam #carsofinstagram #classiccar
So it begins. I saw my new house (that we bought sight unseen... who does that?!) And the move to Texas is underway. Plus, I found a happy corner of the shop that I’ve claimed for my own. The rolling door opens up to my favorite tree on our land. This is going to be such a huge life change y’all! CA➡️TX. City ➡️Country. Alley living ➡️Lots of Land. Renting➡️Owning. So many things. Stumbled upon this... me & Studie both looking a bit younger. #tbt to this from my 1st photo shoot to get pics for launching GreaseGirl.com way back when.⚡️ . . . . #greasegirl #feelingolder #olderandwiser #cargirl #womenwhowrench #pinupstyle #vintagegirl #studebaker #classiccar Celebrating 10 years of life with Stude!⚡️This was Studie’s maiden voyage to attend Viva Las Vegas in 2008. Stude & I set off from LA to Las Vegas less than 24 hours after she was road-going. Pictured here with my nephews who live in Vegas, it’s the only decent pic of my car and I during that journey! I wish I could be at Viva now, but life is serving me up another big adventure - can’t wait to share more. . . . . #greasegirl #adventureswithstude #classiccar #vintagestyle #womenwhowrench #aunty #studebaker #vlv #vivalasvegas #whereitallstarted
