The Bomb Car Club - Car Club Profile

Michael "Lomo" Hurtado is one of the members who has more than one ride with the Bomb Club plaque in the back window. His 1946 Chevy Truck called "Locito46" is two-toned Maroon, and lays frame thanks to the Bag Man out of Anaheim, California. Lomo credits El Pollo Body Shop, and his compa, Pelon, for helping him in getting the truck back on the streets. The truck has been a steady cruiser for over 10 years, thanks to a thorough two-year build. Lomo's second truck is a 1951 Chevy 3100 Custom Cab, which has been part of his fleet for 9 years. The truck was torn down and re-assembled in better than new condition, thanks to Lupe Garcia, Bag Man, Danny D, Metal Finishing Marketers and Olympic Top Shop. The finishing touch to Lomo's collection is his 1939 Chevy Master Deluxe affectionately nicknamed, "The Don." The car was sprayed Yosemite Green, which happens to be an original color for the 1939 model year. Mike Perez re-did the interior and added a Hampton Coach Kit. Once again, The Bag Man and Metal Finishing Marketers were called in to work their magic on the '39 as well. Joe Epstein in Montebello, California did all of the mechanical work, detail work and final assembly on this classic beauty.

Honorary Bomb Club member David Gonzalez first met the members of Bomb Club at the Pomona Swap Meet, while he was chasing parts for one of the many project cars in his fleet. An avid Bomb man himself, David has not one, but three 1936 Chevys. The first one is a two-door Cabriolet, which has been completely restored and accessorized. The second Bomb in his collection is a four-door Phaeton convertible, which is also fully restored and period correct. The third member of David's Bomb fleet is a Coupe Delivery, commonly regarded as Chevy's first El Camino. This Bomb is a frame off and factory correct restoration that David discovered while in Las Vegas, Nevada. Each of these cars is fully equipped with skirts, a testament to David's exhaustive desire to bring his Bombs to life in perfect detail, as he looked everywhere for them to complete each build. David truly has no boundaries when it comes to chasing parts or project cars. He found his 1942 Chevy Suburban in Florida. Post World War II, the Suburban was commonly used as an ambulance, so often times the seats were removed to accommodate the space needed to fit the gurneys behind the front seats. It took a while, but David found the correct seats and accessories to finish this one-of-a-kind ride. The final ride in his fleet is his 1954 Chevy Canopy Express. Back in the 1950's, these vehicles were used to sell vegetables in the neighborhoods and boroughs across the U.S.A..

Bomb Club member Danny Lopez purchased his 2003 Harley Davidson Heritage Springer Soft Tail in July of 2003. The Black & Silver motorcycle has been customized by both Danny and the Los Angeles Harley Davidson dealership. Danny's bike happens to be the 100th anniversary model, so Danny kept the customization to a minimum, in order to preserve the value and collectability of the bike.

Jorge Lopez picked up his FLHR Harley Davidson Road King brand new in April of 2006. Jorge and his family all worked together to pick the right chrome accessories to accent the Road King. Fineline Cycles took care of the 21" front wheel, and added their own air bag system to the bike. Jorge is a serious music fanatic, so he had Fineline install an IPOD sound system that could complete the look and sound he was looking for.
