Found these change banks today. Jensen's was a station a mile down the road that I used to ride my bicycle to as a kid in the 1960's
Yesterday at Carlisle I picked up this checkered flag air cleaner. Its for the older style 4 barrels, small base hole.
It cleaned up nicely. The chrome screen is not only attractive, it can be left in place with the filter removed for ''compe***ion''.
@Lloyd's paint & gl*** referred me to his tri 5 guy, he brought me a nice solid trunk lid. Picked up a perfect door from another vendor.
Got this "ship in a bottle" at a rummage sale, but the ship is an old car made of business cards. Really had to pay up for this one, though.
Then there's this gem. Your 50's Mopar might have an under-dash record player, or your bubbletop show rod might have a TV and a rotary phone in it. But have you ever seen a 12 volt automobile toaster? The box says it'll make "fruit filled tarts", good to know. I'm not sure if it's supposed to be mounted under the dash like this but I love the idea of loading a waffle into it like a CD player.
^Very cool! I'm picturing a commuter with a shaver, coffee maker and now toaster fumbling in the car and wreaking havoc on the highways!
once saw a guy driving with his knees in the morning, eating a bowl of what i ***ume was cereal at 55 mph in traffic. had to back off slightly to get another look to be sure i was really seeing that.
Hope you picked up a couple extra of those at that price. It always gets my attention to see something priced that way. It reads like 5/100ths (or 1/20th) of one cent! All you need is a 5 and a cent sign. Though I reckon most folks don't know what a "¢" is anymore.
Rewire it with a couple of USB charging ports and stick your phone, MP3 player or GPS in there for charging!
Found this this morning at a yard sale. I first thought it was a hand held Unity spot light. Then I saw the 110 plug. I've never seen one like this. Plugged it in and it's bright as hell. Plus the cord isn't all rotted. Don' know what I'll do with it since I certainly don't need it but I just had to have it.
Thanks to @P*** The Torch who answered my ad in the wanted section. Anyone else have this kind of stuff? Pm if you’d like to sell
Picked up this '60's AMT '55 Nomad. Everything is present, even the metal axle. Chrome rear, fenderwell headers, pie crusts, wow! Building models as a kid and handling the individual pieces contributed heavily to my present day parts, uh, collecting..
Went to a swap meet today and did some horse trading with a fellow friend. I made some room in my garage and he made some room in his garage but we both traded for each others junk so now the spaces are taken up again View attachment 6540906 But it was a very worthwhile venture. After we traded our wares, we headed inside. My son came with me as well which was nice because he was feeling well today. We headed inside and commenced picking. -snap on wartime kra-21 . Super solid box just needs some love and hopefully removal of the ****py "patina" someone applied to it which makes it look terrible in my opinion. My friend even graciously threw in a bunch of AN marked military crows feet! He also gave me a box of Plomb wf tools which I'm stoked on. -also got a proto flying lady 3/4 drive box set with all proto la tools. Ratchet is a cool p*** through style which I dont have. -vintage gulf lighter fluid can with nice logo, gl*** oil bottle, texaco home lubricant can, 1941 marked Ford carb gasket kit, Mobil gas polish tube and box! - giant 4' long mahew pry bar with striking cap for $40 - Plymouth repair manual ('46-'54) and Mopar catalogs!
