    [​IMG]I painted my own cars back then, But I know some guys that with a little prep, bodywork, masking, took a case of beer/pop in with the car and got some pretty respectable paint work from our Earl Scheib paint shop ln Milwaukee Wi. 60's

    1959 Curtiss Wright Model 2500 Air-Car.
    Air flow was produced by two 180 hp vertical mounted fan motors which was routed to vents for thrust, turning and braking.

  12. Hey noboD

    This car is from England.
    It is a Lanchester. I don't know the year but late 1910s I would guess.

    In the early seventies Earls son Al would hang out at Bobs Big Boy in Canoga Park CA. (San Fernando Valley) He drove a 1957 Plymouth Fury with a blown Chrysler. He would drive through with exhaust uncorked. Nasty
