Families and friends wandered between the sun-dappled custom and restored iron lounging beneath groves of shade trees in Featherly Regional Park in Corona, California, during the 7th Annual Chevy & GMC Truck Show and Shine. The event is run by Brothers, a purveyor of '47-'72 classic GM truck parts, and accepts only Chevys and GMCs from the golden age of the aerodynamically challenged, homogenization-be-damned late 40s to early 70s. Throughout the range of oddly eclectic customs to the truest of resto renditions, many of SoCal's finest pickups and SUVs basked in the appreciation of passersby. Browse through the next couple of pages for a sampling of what was at the show.
Congratulations!
