    A rare photo capturing Little Johnny's fateful first run in his first 2 Hoodlum powered go-kart. This picture documents the sowing of the seeds that would eventually lead Little Johnny down the path of being chased by the local coppers as he tore up the pavement in the neighborhood.
    Go Little Johnny, go!

    Fun fact: Studebaker made an effort to bring these big Facel Vegas Stateside and rebadge them as Packards, but Mercedes threatened to cut off Studebaker's distribution deal if they tried it.

  6. It was a Signal Gas and Oil training set of photos. All the things you should NOT do, ie set oil can on fender, or step on bumper, or have customer check his tire pressure, etc.. Has been on HAMB numerous times, but never gets old.

    This ad must have rankled Ford somewhat. They didn't have presses big enough to bang out those one piece tops until the 37 model year. I think that's the point the ad was making. They were ahead of Ford.

    Perhaps it's just an illusion, but that boat appears to have a lot of people on board, and only two small lifeboats (one on each side).
