Great pixs Monkey Biker, I like the bikes and Twin6 will love the Packard......

 

Your most welcome....T-H

 

Just ridin' around looking for more stuff to post while you sit at your table in your comfy office.

What's with T6. Looking quite dapper in his tailored suit.
Typical Chief Editor i suppose.

 

How about some 16MM Kodachrome footage taken at the very end of WWII?

VJ Day, Honolulu Hawaii, August 14, 1945

Hey, he likes to dress up a bit and put on airs....What do you think of his Goofy French chair , table and flowers?

Early Guy is young and still playing with his tools but we think he has been showing great promise for some time, he will shape up in no time. He's a good with wrench too.

 

This will fit in perfectly here..

As found {or otherwise} by U.S. servicemen in Germany.

 

Wow....That's cool Monkey Biker..... Isn't this more fun than playing with those noisy, smelly, oil spewing racing cars??..... Twin6 is on the road today so we can post whatever we want.....

 

I was able to arrange to have Tarzan.... Johnny Weissmuller.....A monkeys best friend to make a guest appearance with his 1932 Chevrolet........

 

Earlyguy, oh dear. Any closer with that hammer and he could have at least one very expensive tool missing.

Zippy's the name.
{Typical pen pushers always looking down at us hardworking types}.

I still prefer the smelly photos but this is just as cool.

 

Somehow I think that Johnny here figured out that sign painting was not his thing.

Zippy.....Thanks for slipping in that pix of Goofy while he's out of town.... Maybe we should get early guy some protective gear.......

 

Where should we go????

 

What an incredible piece of design that is.
Motor on the front wheel, but true Deco/Streamline design.
Anyone know more about it?

 

Chances are it got shipped home with this guy's personal stuff. Lots of things got liberated in the European wars, art, collectibles, vehicles, technology, etc. But it sure is cool. Gary

 

Pushing Pre WWll a bit but too cool not to post.

 

This is a 1936 photograph of a 1 cyl. 1905 Reo Model B runabout taken in Spokane Washington (courtesy of Dan Sharp). The Murphy-bodied Duesenberg convertible coupe (J370) was then owned by by Dr. Frank B. Robinson of Moscow, Idaho. According to Randy Ema, the car ended up in Los Angeles where it was restyled for Mae West. It is currently in the San Francisco Bay Area.

 

It's a Killinger und Freund..

600cc 2 stroke..with front wheel powered like a Rokon.
