As promised last week when we posted this gallery of 66 retro custom cars, BangShift.com spent Saturday in Las Vegas for the 12th Annual Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly Weekender. The event is now held at the Orleans casino and is mostly a music fest, but the Shifters of So-Cal host a retro car show in conjunction with it. We were disappointed that so many of the retro rods and customs seen there were powered by small-block Chevys as we were hoping to get photos of a bunch of Cads, Olds Rockets, Hemis, and Nailheads, but there was still some great junk to see.
