We attend the Hunnert Car Pile-Up in Morris, Illinois. It's a traditional style car show for 1964 and earlier rods and customs that are built in a fashion that represents that era.

An overflow of spectators led to some interesting altercations. Hope there will be a 2010 HTP, as there are rumors saying in could be the last.We talk to lots of interesting people, that include owners of a turocharged Offy powered Model A, a bomber inspired '37 Ford rat rod pickup, a Ford powered Henery J, a Model A Ford transformed into a extended cab pickup, a rat rod with a Pontiac dash, and a cool '54 Chevy custom.
