Re: Houston Texas,
I've lived 20 or so miles northeast of Houston proper for fifty-five years now. There are quite a few cool cars of all flavors in the area for sure. We have two really worthwhile swap meets during the year, but not in June. One big Autorama Car Show on Thanksgiving weekend. Impromptu local parking lot car shows every Saturday night all over the area, year-round. And yup, Bruce's Rod Shop on the far north side in Spring, Tx is a first-class rod and custom (lots of old Fords ALWAYS) fabrication and completion facility, certainly worth seeing and they seem to welcome showing-off their operation. Other than that, and with Houston being the fourth largest metro in the US, there just isn't what one might expect (specialty car-wise) in this area that would justify a trip from New Zealand to see. In spite of it's size, I've never considered Houston to be high on the list of "don't miss" tourist destinations, but I truly hope your son enjoys his trip, nevertheless. DD
