    HODAD. I go by that Studebaker several times a year on the way to New Brunswick, Ca., to visit friends. Ironically, I never gave a thought to taking a picture. Same guy now has an old tractor museum on the other side of the road. He has one side of a trailer (big) covered with painted steel tractor seats. NEAT.

    The little "two-way" Crosley from Dog n Suds in Lafayette, Indiana. The car has been there for years and years. It used to drive around town. Now it is in pretty sad condition. Notice the red lens covers added in place of the second cars headlamps!

    I like this shot of the drive in where it is also. Notice the little A roaster?

  21. Carhenge, Alliance, NE, from their website.
    I took photos of this about 25 years ago for a postcard company.
    Back then the cars were not painted gray.

    Here's a 32 Ford sedan side that I saved to use for a wall hanger or a sign.
