They say nothing goes together like hot cars and Rock & Roll music, and there was a fantastic theme display at the 2014 Muscle Car And Corvette Nationals that showcased them both! The "Color My World" display demonstrated the wild array of colors offered in the Muscle Car era, and Patrick Krook was there to show us a new line of G&L Guitars that are painted to match.
This 1969 Pontiac Firebird is a very unusual 'Bird being a prototype for the 1969 Pontiac Trans Am program. We learned the story at the 2014 Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals in Rosemont, IL.
Original Chevrolet big-block cars featuring the L89 aluminum head option are pretty rare, and the L89 display at the 2014 Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals was outstanding! Here, we learn about them from Dan Vasic.
http://www.mcacn.com – The Mecum Auction Company had a big display at the very front of the 2014 Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals show this year, and we had the opportunity to chat with John Kraman about what it is like to put on such a giant road show. You can see the Mecum auction schedule at http://www.mecum.com.
The Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals is more than a car show, it celebrates all elements of the hobby including showcasing some of the best artists in the genre. We spoke with David Snyder about how he creates his automotive Americana artwork by hand, and how he recently helped raise over $100,000 for children's cancer research.

Let's kick off the week with some exciting Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals news. It may seem like November is a long way off, and in a way it is, but if you own one of the MCACN Official "Unveiling" cars, the clock is ticking! We have confirmed several very significant cars for Unveilings, and here is one that is currently undergoing a full restoration. This black on black 1969 Boss 429, #KK1365 is going to be an absolute show stopper. Owner Tom Marcucci does not cut any corners and he spent several years looking for the right Boss '9. This one has the original drivetrain, making it one rare pony. I took these pics at the Dearborn Mustang meet this summer, where Tom showed it pre-restoration. Whew…can't wait to see the cover pulled off this one at MCAN, November 21-22! Is there anything cooler and more sinister than a black Boss '9?

Welcome to The Brothers Collection, probably the most comprehensive collection of Muscle Cars in the country – if not the world. It features hundreds of cars from from all makes… Hemi Cuda converts, ZL1 Camaros, even ’57 Rancheros with factory superchargers. The Brothers are actually Brothers and friends of mine. They are nice guys that value their privacy but want to share their love of cars. We think that Muscle Car Of The Week is a great way to share some of their collection and we think Kevin Oeste is the perfect car guy to bring them to you. The Brothers Collection is not open to the public at this time so Muscle Car Of The Week is the best way to see some great cars and we think Kevin does a great job of bringing people up to speed on whatever Muscle Car we feature. The features are usually not just only about that actual feature car but also that model in general. The Brothers are also usually nice enough to loan a couple cars each year to the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals show in Chicago, so you have the opportunity to see some of their cars in person – check the site at http://www.mcacn.com. Thanks for your time and we hope you enjoy the weekly features.
