History Vintage Racers On Shorpy

Of course, if you're smart, you'll check out Shorpy.com every day. But these two rides are so bad I wanted to make sure they didn't slip by under the radar.

Lexington Pikes Peak Hill Climb Racer

Patina out the wazoo!!! Be sure to click for the full sized image.

Abbott-Detroit Pimped Out Speedster

Check out the side pipes and the bad-ass radiator shell and grill.

 

Cool pictures, I try to get there a couple of times a week. The search engine is really good, too.
Last week I was cruising the WW2 file, and there was a great picture of "atomic welding" of beverage containers being converted to Oxygen canisters for bombers. The same ones that you see on some HAMB cars.
Go check it out!
