I wonder how the food they served was back in the days when this place first opened for business. I'm going to assume the food was tasty,...
Stunning. Every single thing about that car, the photos of it and the effort to preserve those images just leave me slack-jawed.
Oh, you mean Nancy.
I like the simplicity of it, but I wonder what that box in the back seat is.
Kinda tiny, isn't? And in a good way, I mean. Looks like it might have had a small engine in the back, possibly using something like an engine...
The nitro soup cans used as header caps were a stroke of whimsical genius. How could anybody not smile after first spotting them?
A nice depot hack/station wagon would be my choice unless the length of the passenger list would never exceed what you could fit into the bench...
That is a hell of a lot of engine for a light little roadster pickup like that (says Captain Obvious).
Classy. Elegant, even.
Re: [IMG] Okay, I'll take 2 from column A, 1 from column B, 1 from column C, 4 from column D, 3 from column E ... ;)
Wow.
I wonder what happened to the rest of the car that hood came from.
That car is a perfect example of the beauty of understated elegance.
Are those early Michelin "X" Radials on the front wheels? Sure looks that way from the first image, but the resolution is just a wee bit too...
Cool little cars. I wonder if enough of them survived for the survivors to be affordable enough to use some as the basis for some little hot...
Yeah, it's in the far southern tip of Maine down near Kennebunk which means it's really not so far from Boston, Massachusetts. I pulled up the...
Something about that Truckster catches my eye. Maybe it's that nailhead.
The titties are there already. There's four of them, in fact. They're just tastefully understated. One after each of the letters. Oh, and...
I do like the current logo. It's perfect.
I want one of those to pick up visiting out-of-town family members at the airport.
There are some interesting details on the engine bay. The battery is there, mounted up high on the firewall, and it appears that the air cleaner...
That intake needs to find a proper banger to live on.
Generally speaking, when I see a car featured here my thoughts begin with something akin to, "Yeah, that's really well done and I can't criticize...
Different wheel bases on each side? That rings a bell. I have a vague memory of reading an article somewhere that discussed the idea of having...
You're apparently close to right about the date of Plexiglass being first marketed. Seems it was in 1937. The history of acrylic | Cut Plastic...
The idea of a reissue appeals to me provided there is some little tweak to distinguish the originals from the new ones. I'm not sure what to...
It's like backyard go-kart racing, except the backyard is really big and the go-carts are swapped for some period correct race cars. How could...
The tooling for those was eventually sold to British manufacturer Rover who refined them a little and then used them for quite a few more years....
Looking at the pictures of the cars featured here I usually find myself wanting to know what kind of engine it has, what kind of brakes it has,...
So I was on the right track when I speculated about liquid-cooling the brake shoes, but I was speculating that it would be a separate cooling...
