That's what I was thinkin'

 

Ran across a movie called Hot Cars on Netflix last night that is worth watching for the cars in it. Shot in SoCal in 1956 and features a couple real used car lots in Culver city, shots at Joe's at the beach, Santa monica pier etc. I was so busy looking at the cars in the background I did not pay attention to the plot

Netfix has lots of lots of old car movies
Hot rod gang 1958
High school hellcats 1958
Highway dragnet 1954
The fast and the furious 1955
And a whole lot more

 

Trying to stay cool when it's hot...

 

I lived about a mile from this airport when this incident occurred. I remember hearing these F-86's fly over our house and the whole family wondering "what the hell was that?"

As a airplane crazy 10 year old, when i heard the news of the landing I hopped on my bike and went to the air port to see them. The Air Police got tired of chasing me away and finally let me get a close up look at the beautiful aircraft. Absolute heaven for about a week.

Yowza, how about a mud bath! Makes the argument for full fenders.....

 

This site is less than a mile from the famous L & N Train Station in Clarksville

 

Of course not many people know that there was an original Monkeemobile that was not used in the TV show.

 

So much for cooling from the radiator, at least no air through it

 

Nice photoshop with the Tucker front end but the colors don't match. Funny though !!!!!!!

 

Ok, then, who still thinks taking the fender(s) off to make it lighter and more streamlined is a good idea? Gary

 

Yep the pack cost 23 cents that how they gave you change, never today, just up the price

 

My brother's 56 convert, that is me on the front fender.

 

My dad built this Jeep in the 40's. Had a plywood and sheet metal body, the transmission was war surplus hydrostatic unit that was used to turn gun turrets on a ship. Had a 28 Chevy gauge cluster.
When the youngest (me) was grown up he sold it, wish I could find it.
Thats me driving in the first 2 pictures.

Looks like they hit something - the Left mudguard is missing, the chassis rail looks bent up at the front, and I think there's a wooden block between the axle and spring?
