As you can see by my signature line, I'm pretty interested in these.

The signautre has resulted in the purchase of one of mine. The others I've had a long time. I'm always interested in any cast aluminum ones from Tennessee.

The ones with the green background (including the green '38 ) are mine. The others are photos of some I'm still hunting.

I'm looking for both of these:

Here one on my..........

 

A few from a series I did in '06:



A commemorative topper, cast in brass:

 

I'm new on here but I think I saw one of these in the back window of a rod in a Rod & Kustom mag. that said HAMB. Anyone know anything about it?

 

They were made by whizzerick a couple of years ago and auctioned off to benifit the HAMB.

 

Here is one Whizzerrick made... oh, I see he posted soem pics already, but this is the one I bought for my dad to put on his '53 chevy truck one day...

I think it is very cool.

The Hickory Speedway one was attached to a mid 50's N.Carolina plate when I got it but had to take it off and use it on my T.

 

I'm pretty sure this is a topper. Have no idea how it mounts. About 5 inches in diameter, with some reflective material on the face.

 

Anyone ever see a topper that has the OLD NHRA (blue roadster) logo on it? I would love to find one, I think they were made out of porcelain,Greg

 

Saw this one at a recent show:

 

Because I'm an old roundy-pounder.....I'm kinda fond of this one.

 

check out coolcastings.com. i bought one of his spades with the skull and cross bones. he is out of new jersey. pretty cool stuff

 

any chances the other stovebolt ones are still around, could use a few for next projects....

here's mine...

 

Love to find one like that for my 47!

 

Found the Miami one on the side of a chicken coop in Connecticut, and the 48 star Flag tin topper at a local swap meet.

 

the best topper ever!

 

posted this before.


bronze..
cast here in town (phoenixville, pa) in the late 30's (the back of mine said 39) by the high school shop class.
my buddy bill has an aluminum version that dates from the early 30's.. I figure the same shop teacher used the same project for lots of years..

both bills and mine have students names scratched in the backside.. the name on mine is getting harder and harder to read..

this is bills (note the additional painted initials on the face.)

 

I need a hanging casting. There's no room for a topper on a 55 Pontiac with the 3piece bumper. Any one got a clue who makes them?

 

one of my fav pics from the hamb

 

The one on my rpu is pretty classic. It was a giveaway if you bought a hundred dollars in war bonds. A lot of dough in 1941. The addition of some tumbleweed and bugs from the trip to Bonneville last year added to effect I'd say.

 

Not true!

 

I just picked this one up off of ebay.

 

So how do I git one of them thar fine pieces of automotive artwork?
(HAMB topper)
I think it would look mighty fine on the 30

I have a bunch in my collection, but no pictures of them.
Here's a few that I've seen on evilbay...





This last one was given away by Shell stations. The flags mean "Share the Road"
