I've been a big fan of his Decoliner ever since I first saw it's construction photo's in Hot Rod. (I've always been crazy about the style of the old White truck cabs, and the old milk truck "walk-in" delivery vans.
The old GM Autorama fleet grabbed my attention as well. All works of Art in my book.
My Daughter use to live in Vegas up until a couple years ago, and she could have got me into the SEMA show, I wish I could make it out there this year.

Hi Mike,
Randy Grubb is a good friend; I consider Randy as the foremost automotive artist in the world and have never looked at my tripod as anything but a work of art. The picture below of the Decoliner has me on top standing up waving, we took it up to the giant redwoods (about 45 min from my house). His latest project, which will be in my booth for it's unveiling, is just plane wild. For all who don't know who Randy is, look up his name on the internet and click on pictures. He blows his own glass too, that beautiful black roadster enjoys a glass grille, the portholes on the decoliner get gradually smaller in size as they go back an also pick up a decreasing line as they stick out. The deco liner is cool, especially driving it around the big redwoods from the flying bridge, you can't believe how high you are. A little unknown fact, Randy started his artistic career with glass, his paper weights commanded prices in the 12 to 25k range and usually took 25 to 40 days to make.
I'm rambling on, getting back to your post, if you can make it to SEMA, stop by, email if you have trouble getting in, I might have an extra pass.
Dave
