Out Where the Longhorns Play
Super Chevy In Houston
By Tony Kelly
Texas plays host to two Super Chevy Shows a year, one in Dallas the other in Houston. The major difference between the two is that in Houston we get to see people from farther into the southeast than we see in Dallas. The Louisiana folks certainly add to the fun. Last year we met Russ Huval from Breaux Bridge, Louisiana (that's definitely a Louisiana town name), and he was back this year with another great car and a story to go with it. As you may recall from last year's episode, Russ found and restored the '58 Bel Air that he helped unveil as a teenage apprentice in October 1957 on the showroom floor of the dealership where he worked. Seven years later, Huval was a salesman at that dealership, and his very first sale was a '64 Biscayne two-door sedan with a four-speed. The car spent its life in Breaux Bridge, often appearing at the local dragstrip. In 1991 Huval, driving his '58, spotted the '64 in a local garage and convinced the owner, a man named Clyde, to sell the car. Three years of restoration work, including the installation of an LS6 454 motor and the application of the original Daytona Blue paint, and the car was once again on the dealership showroom floor, covered. Clyde, the former owner, was ushered in and found all of his old drag race buddies waiting. The car was unveiled as it appeared in 1964, with the addition of a name; the car is now called "Clyde." Huval is a lucky man owning two cars from his youth, both of which he has brought back to life.  |  Russ and Tee Huval's '64 has...  Russ and Tee Huval's '64 has a history, and it also has an Editor's Choice Top Ten Show Car award. |  We'd heard of S-10s and T-10s,...  We'd heard of S-10s and T-10s, but until we saw Harvey Vogel's '69 Z10 Camaro, we didn't know of pace cars that were coupes. Only a few-hundred were built, and this one lives in Sweeney, TX, along with its newly acquired Editor's Choice Top Ten Show Car award. |  Sam and Ginger Carte of Pearland,...  Sam and Ginger Carte of Pearland, TX, polished and shined their '55 Bel Air to make sure it wouldn't go unnoticed. It didn't and took an Editor's Choice Top Ten Show Car award. |  There can't have been too...  There can't have been too many '55 Chevys with factory air conditioning, especially if they were convertibles. Barbara and James Brasuell of Lufkin, TX, have this one and an Editor's Choice Top Ten Show Car award to go with it. |  We always find great trucks...  We always find great trucks in Texas, and John Curry's is a good example. From Crosby, TX, this '70 pickup took the Classic Trucks magazine Outstanding Classic Truck award. |  Jimmy Woodall's Deer Park,...  Jimmy Woodall's Deer Park, TX-based '39 Chev coupe had a '59 dash grafted in so well that it looked as though it was factory. |  The rest of the car was definitely...  The rest of the car was definitely not stock, and it took the SUPER CHEVY Magazine 30th Anniversary Award. |  Although bright yellow and...  Although bright yellow and still being completed, this '68 Camaro shows the work of the Young Star Award winner, Douglas Chapman of Cleveland, TX. |  Mike Guidry, Church Point,...  Mike Guidry, Church Point, LA, loves coming to the Houston Super Chevy Show. We loved his '67 Nova and gave it an Editor's Choice Top Ten Show Car award. |  Not your average "little deuce...
