On the heels of the success of our new cast aluminum Style Steel Wheels, we now have Magnum 500 Wheels cast in one piece aluminum.

Honestly, these pictures do not do this new wheel the justice that it deserves. It's a super nice wheel. If you are shopping for a cool looking wheel, this may be it. If you have been considering Magnum 500's and are not doing a stock, Concours style car (we have the original style chrome two piece version too!), this is definitely a wheel you will want to consider.

Friday after the judging, the evening banquet and program was held right there with the cars in the same room.

The Popular Vote Car Show was held the next day at the Pocono Raceway where the open track events were held on the Thursday and Friday.

Enjoy the pictures!

Monterey Car Week should be on every car guy's (or gal's) Bucket List! What a great week of total "auto overload"!

The week ends on a Sunday with the famous Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance held right on the 18th Green of the golf course. This year was especially great for Shelby Fans as the show honored the 50th Anniversary of the GT350 Mustang with a special class. Eight '65-66 were chosen to participate. The top three in the Shelby Class received awards, and we are proud to say that they are all Virginia Classic Mustang customers!

Enjoy the pictures, and check out the captions! There were, of course, lots and lots of interesting cars, but we are just covering the Shelby products here in this post.
