Where did you come across the Ray Rixman Ad ?
I sure love to see anything from Baden. But my Grandfather ( Whom had a BIG influence on me ), was a parts Man @ Rixman for years. I thank you for posting this. And all the great stuff from Missouri , among all the rest.

I believe it was common practice to use junk cars to try and prevent erosion of the river bank.

Mart.

 

Here is an article on the practice. http://www.amusingplanet.com/2012/02/detroit-riprap-abandoned-cars-as.html

 

Memories from the good old day's.

Man,---I'll say!---NO tats either!

 

I saw several places that used old cars to stop bank erosion on our 2000 Americruise Tour .....

Can you imagine what a nightmare this rig would have been?
It's probably got 1200cc's of thumping fury that could rev to a staggering 4000rpm, swing-arm rear suspension and towing a mid-rear engine car with the weight hanging behind the trailer axle. What would it have been like in any kind of a side-wind?
Talk about a handful. Yowser!
