    How have I never seen this photo before????!?!?!?!

    Man... I love it so much, I just want to devour it—consume it in some bizarre, primal frenzy, like a caveman with a steak, just tearing into the beauty of it. So good.

    Man I dont think that thing has a spring in back. I think it’s got radius rods and then struts up to the frame! What a cool shot!

    For what some are asking for old hot rods these days, you can get a low end Ferrari...

    I had forgotten, the year designation on the license

    @Jimmy B has a decent vintage photo collection, he may have more from the Photographer.
