Hot Rods In Paradise

They came down the volcano, out of the little towns and up from the valleys of Maui. Over 126 cars & bikes rolled out of grass shacks all over the island to attend the 3rd Annual Maui Island Wide Car Show.

Sponsored by the Maui Street Rodders event took place at the Cannery in Lahaina this week under blue skies and bordered by swaying palms. The purpose of the event was to raise money for the Lainaina Luna Athletic Dept. and share the Aloha Mauiians have for their cars.

Most people don’t think of street rods when they think of Maui. But the small island hosts two clubs, Maui Classic Cruisers and Maui Street Rodders. There are over 400 street rods and customs on the island; probably more than most any other area of equal population.

Here is just a sampling of what rolled out for the event.
