That Phaeton jalopy keeps calling my name

 

Love the kick-start Maytag washing machine engine driving an ice cream maker!

 

Thanks for pics - a long time since I have been to "Lovely Long Beach"

 

A lot of these old timers are aging out of being in the sun. So all this is rapidly going away. I would suspect fire sales of part and cars in the next few years.

 

Thanks for the pics .

 

An AMAZING swap meet. I grew up in Long Beach and attended the LBMTC swap meets as a kid. I still come out every couple of years to attend. It has always the BEST swap meet for real old stuff. We have called this swap meet "the gathering of the faithful".

 

GREAT swap today. Came home with lots of little parts, people started packing up a little early as the heat turned up (was nice and foggy until about 8ish).

Good day for it, even came with the salt and cart.

 

I really liked this T coupe. Some small tweaks and it would be perfect.

 

It's actually a recent build and the guy is a bit high on the price. I wanted say near 40k asking

but I have seen sedans with this same stance about the the prices.

 

That's a "Simplex" that someone dropped a Maytag into....

 

Simplex--the only motorcycle made in Louisiana

 

The black coupe reminds me of a Lil' John Buttera car. Kind of like his 1926-27 Sedan. Also, the kind of car that would have been in the "Early Times" club. I like it!!

 

Thanks for the pictures.

 

From the past! nostalgia
