There's photos of just about everything here, not just cars.
If you see something that doesn't interest you, keep scrolling until you do.
95% of what is on the mainboard doesn't interest me, but I still love looking on the HAMB for the stuff that does interest me.
Planes, bikes, lawnmowers, kitchen appliances from the past are all interesting to someone, as they are images of our past and our history.

Oh, and another thing....lots of "us" scour the internet and our own files for photos that would be of interest to other HAMBers. It takes lots of time to search for and sometimes scan and edit images...lots of time.
We live in a Country and a culture where lots of people want to be "handed" entertainment and then they still aren't happy.

Some advice that I have used all my life and it's worked well for me:
If I don't like something, I change it. If I want more of something, I search it out. I share what I have with those who would enjoy "it", whatever "it" is.
I've never found success at anything by waiting for success to find me.



Big Willie Robinson.....a legend in drag racing lore...




The next four photos are ones that I got the negatives to out of a trash bin in 1972 next to a photographers shop that was being moved out of because he was retiring.
I ended up with a whole Volkswagon backseat full of boxes of 8X10" negatives from the 20's-40's that I still have....440 of them. They are all from the Los Angeles area.

"one man's junk is another man's treasure"



Packard dealership on Santa Monica Blvd., now a Mercedes dealer.





This one, I gave to the restoration department manager at the Nethercutt Museum last year. They had never seen it before. Merle Norman Cosmetics is the company founded by Nethercutt who's fortune built and still maintains the wonderful Nethercutt Museum north of Los Angeles a few miles. Its is still free to the public to visit, just as he intended it to be many years ago.
You need to visit it if you are every in L.A.

Had a Magna Flux just like that one at the first shop I worked in. Looks like a 216 chevy crank.
