DIABLOS GREASEBALL BASH
As we all know, the Diablos are a car club that fosters
the love of Pre 1964 - traditionally-styled hot rods,
customs and haulers. They share a common interest
in all aspects of car building and knowledge,
but at the end of the day they're really all about the
brotherhood. They have been around since 1998
and have evolved into a very tight nit group of
only 13 members.
For the last eight years the club has put on what has
been called by others, "the best car show in Alberta"
but unfortunately due to two years of less than desirable
weather conditions, the attendance has been
low. This year's show (or event as the guys call it)
was held at the Deerfoot Inn and Casino. It started on
Friday night with live music and a burlesque show, followed
by an all day car show and live bands on
Saturday, finishing up with a cruise on Sunday.

JULY 2012
The Diablos work hard to make their car show about
Hot Rodding by offering a no-charge admittance, lots
of prizes, trophies, and a wicked raffle which included
a complete Model A chassis. All possible because of
the huge support of sponsors, vendors and the dedicated
hot rodders and customizers who actually
DRIVE their vehicles every year despite weather, distance,
and breakdowns - a big thanks to them!
The club is currently reconsidering it's current show
location to a smaller, more intimate venue to concentrate
more on Pre 1964 hot rods and customs. After 10
great years of building, driving and sharing their vision
of the hot rodding philosophy, the Diablos Greaseball
Bash will definitely be back in 2013, so stay tuned.

info. Here’s a few pic’s from the show from Moe Putney.
