Hot Rods on the Tarmac at Lyon Air Museum (2022) - Drive-Ins and Leaving

The Lyon Air Museum and Bobby Green of the Old Crow Speed Shop really knocked it out of the park with this gathering of traditional hot rods and early custom cars! To celebrate their special display of belly tank racers and WWII's influence on hot rodding, the organizers curated a special display of 1942 and older traditional pre-war and post-war hot rods and custom cars. The cars had the opportunity to park on the tarmac in front of the museum, which is on the west side of John Wayne Airport in Santa Ana, California. This was definitely one of the best events I have ever attended, and it was a great opportunity to see a carefully curated, once in a lifetime gathering of early hot rods! The display of belly tanks, called "War Surplus on Wheels," runs until Labor Day 2022. This video shows almost all the cars driving onto the tarmac, the belly tanks on display, and many of the cars leaving the museum. Thanks to the Lyon Air Museum, Bobby Green, Ray Dunham, Stephen Harvey, and the other organizers for putting together an unforgettable event. And a very special thanks to Jose Leon (1932 Ford 5-Window Coupe at 7:40 and 12:42) for giving me a ride to the exit gate to capture a majority of the cars leaving!

Badass.. sorry I missed it . Have the flyer right here ..

[@markweitzman4943]

Damn, sorry we missed this show. Great turnout and great coverage.

[@twinrodders]

Thanks. It was like no other car show in SoCal, probably one of the best events I've ever attended.

[@mr.dstalder.606]

Cool!!😎👍

[@RandysFiftySevenChevy]

So many A bones in a fitting location. The Belly Tank Lakesters belong in this museum right next to the planes that help create them. Ive been to the Lyons twice with my father and was thinking about bringing my 37 Roadster to this event.

[@twinrodders]

I last went there in 2015 for their Duesenberg exhibit. It was good to be back and check out the new belly tanks display

[@ono147]

What a great show, so glad to attend,,,, well done

[@twinrodders]

I'm so glad I went as well! A once in a lifetime opportunity to see so many quality cars in one place.

[@waynejohnson1121]

[@timewarpambience1956]

[@twinrodders]

It sure was. Period correct hot rods with planes from the same era made for an awesome event!

[@aafille]

Sweet rods!!

That's what I want my funeral procession to look like

[@emilianojimenez5208]

Exelentes autos

[@miker7294]

Amazing cars!

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

They are Mike!

[@twinrodders]

They sure were! I've seen a good deal of them at other events, but to see them all in one place without any muscle cars or street rods around them was unreal.

[@johngrepo9976]

More quality cars than back in the days!

[@twinrodders]

Can't beat what they had back in the day, but this comes really close!

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Great video..... 👍👍

[@twinrodders]

Thanks for checking it out!

[@VIRIV8]

[@ryanfrederic7100]

Bonus: how many Louis Stands owned cars can be seen in this video?😂😂

[@twinrodders]

Haha, all of them! 😂 Glad the two cars he used to own stayed in SoCal and are brought out often!

[@ryanfrederic7100]

@@twinrodders for sure! A great guy with great taste.

[@twinrodders]

@@ryanfrederic7100 Absolutely. So glad to have met him and so many other great people through the hot rod community on Instagram

Not one with a DuVall windshield

[@aafille]

I saw one of the duces going up Newport Blvd this morning…thought they were going to the derelicts …

[@twinrodders]

Some of them met up as a group at Donut Derelicts in the morning before heading to the Lyon Museum
