Inside the Auction tent on display is the Black Knight, built by Rich Evans of HuntingtonBeachBodywork.com Victor Scalco from Mothers adds some shine, in this picture he's using the 83432 Foam Pad Polish from Mothers Professional Line.  Official Sponsor of Barrett-Jackson Auctions
Mothers is the official polish and wax Sponsor of Barrett-Jackson Auctions and Mothers also runs the official detail centers where the auction cars are cleaned, polished and perfected before going over the auction block and when going over the block Mothers Technicians keep the cars shining by wiping off dust and finger-pints. Looking good!  
A couple forum members from the primary forum I post on, AutogeekOnline.net stopped by to say hi while checking out the cars and all the vendor's booths...
Can’t remember this gentleman’s forum name… if he contacts me I’ll edit this post and add his name.  Merlin  Swag!
It was a lot of fun working the Mothers Special Event's Team on Friday and Saturday at the Barrett-Jackson Auction in West Palm Beach and they loaded me up with some really cool Mothers Gear at the end of the show...       
Mothers Shirts, Hats and the really cool Mothers/Chip Foose Detail Bag can be found here, Mothers Cool Gear  | |

Now on to the Mothers Virtual Power Tour with pictures of cars at the 2010 Barrett-Jackson Auction in West Palm Beach, Florida 
If you look at the B-Pillar on the car below, you can see rotary buffer swirls, this is why I always say, Quote: |

Back in the 1950’s Continental Kits were very popular as a way to hold a spare tire without taking up room in the trunk and adding a little bling at that same time. 
This is an AMC Javelin, I think it was a 1970 or 1971, these had the Coke bottle style fender lines like classic Corvettes from the 1970’s and 1980’s and you could get them with BIG BLOCKS!  Firebird in very original shape… 
The fins on this 1960 Impala are referred to has “Horizontal Fins” as compared to the "Vertical Fins" on a 1959 Cadillac.  Behemoths… there isn’t any cursed black pebble textured plastic trim on cars like these 
This is a Jeep Scrambler which was a convertible Jeep Truck available in the 1980’s I believe, they are pretty hard to find now days…   1957 or 58 Ford Fairlane Retractable Top Convertible 
Check out the cool lights and siren on this old Fire Department Emergency Car, this would be the vehicle the Chief would usually ride in to the scene of a major fire.   | |

Continued... Note: I didn't have time or the ability to carry a clipboard with me and write down details about each car, there were too many cars to look at and too much ground to cover.
My comments about years, makes and models is drawn from memory about these cars and by usually looking at the grills, hoods or body styles to place the year of manufacture. If I make a mistake on the title of a car please let me know and I'll make the change. I'm pretty good at getting close but don't always get it perfect when dating a car, make and model.  Pontiac Safari Woodie Station Wagon, don't remember what the grill looked like even though I looked at the front of the car but judging by the fender lines I would guess this is a 1952 or 1953 vintage.  This is an Oldsmobile Rocket 88 and my guess is it's about a 1952 to 1954...  1964 Chevrolet Malibu  If you don't know what the word Yenko means, do a Google search and type in the name Don Yenko  1959 Cadillac Coupe de Ville - These had the largest vertical fins to ever come out of Detroit and came with a 390 Big Block Engine with a a 4-Speed Hydra-Matic Transmission.
(I've owned 5 of these cars but none were ever as nice as this one).   Massive Fins and Dual Bullet Taillights mark the 1959 Cadillac as an Icon of automotive design at the end of the 1950's....  Everywhere you go you find muscle cars often times with Big Blocks, like these two Chevelles...  Going by the curves of the back fender, I think this is a 1951 to 1952 Belair Coupe  More SS Chevelles...  This is about a 1951 Chevrolet Belair... note the Split Front Windshield  1965 to 67 Pontiac, not sure the model... Tempest?  Here's a very well preserved old race car      Buick Skylark I believe, about a 1972...
Back in the late 1970's and even early 1980's these were looked down upon when compared to a Chevelle or Mustang...  This was cool looking, I like it because I always referred to my Sanger Drag Boat as a "Corvette on the water"  Oldsmobile 442 Convertible... my guess is about a 1968 or 1969, the fender lines are throwing me...  | |
