Don't normally post unless it's relevant and Hot Rod related - however I've discovered these two sites which may interest a lot of you. I apologise if someone else has already brought them to your attention - I don't log in as often as I should.

This site has some great MPEG downloads - a lot auto related - 30's to 60's

And this site is literature:-

The Prelinger archives are amazing. I've wasted hours watching those films.

The futurism films are particularly great as are the dating ones including my personal fave "Too much affection?"

I've been on this site all night. Under California there is a film called Ingenuity in Action. Its about drag raceing and I think its 1958 and put out by Hot Rod magazine. Check it out, it's pretty good.

Looks like I'll be downloading for about a month now. Lots of cool films on here. Thanks for posting it.

Christian, what ws that one listed under. I can't beleive I missed that one. Alot of these movies are under catagories that you would'nt think they would be under.

You would think the one I posted would be under the hotrod listing but is under California.
