NSRA Western Nats, Bakersfield, '07. Held at the Kern County Fairgrounds in Bakersfield, over the weekend April 27-29, 2007, this event attracted just under 2,000 cars, and 20,000 visitors. Kerry Fehlberg motored down from San Francisco to cover the meet, and to get close to some of the finest cars in the region.

Jerry Wessler, from Stockton, was in the running for the PPG Outstanding use of colour award for his striking candy orange '32 roadster. Note the unique tube steel nerf bar.

This '50s style is still popular all over the world, particularly where the build starts with an all-steel car.


That's Mike & Francis Botzon's '41 Willys coupe which appears to have just eaten a massive Weiand supercharged rat motor.

PPG would have been well justified in picking this car for the colour award - though the competition was fierce.

The red '31 roadster isn't masquerading as a deuce, but the '32 grill shell will throw some off the scent. A's are generally cheaper than '32s - the green deuce was for sale for $110,000.

Commercial vehicles are always well represented, even the rarer '29 sedan deliveries.

The colour and detailing in Richard's deuce is such that he won One fine deuce at Spokane last year.
