Taking a cue from Squirrel's excellent post showing photos of a Chevy ***embly line in '59 (http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=310753), I started searching Google images using source:Life as part of the string. Look what results appear when searching "hot rod source:Life": http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&safe=off&q=hotrod+source:life&btnG=Search+Images Love the Grabowski versus Ivo pic! And Grabowski with the T on a chain hoist! Plug in other search words and see what you find - for example, here's "Jalopy": http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=jalopy+source:life Amazing stuff is here! I've got a year's worth of screensavers already. .
Ooh, this is ADDICTIVE. More cool things to search for: Racing Car: http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=racing+car++source:life Midget Race: http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=midget+race+source:life Auto Parts: http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=auto+parts+source:life Machine Shop: http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=machine+shop+source:life Tucker factory: http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=tucker+factory+source:life Custom Cars (Norm shows up again): http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=custom+cars+source:life Model T: http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q="model+t"+source:life ****, I'm gonna lose HOURS at work today going through this stuff . . .
These are too good not to share . . . I wanna build a time machine so I can visit Dave's House Of Chrome. And dig the world's tallest (longest) hotrodder laying under the track roadster Found these by searching for "Daytona", "stock car", "hot rodders", "speedway", etc. By adding a pluralizing "s" to some words can give you different results - also be sure to check the little thumbnails on the right side of a picture to see related images that may not have appeared in your initial search.
Ooh, eye candy from 1952! http://images.google.com/hosted/lif...ibits+source:life&start=60&ndsp=20&hl=en&sa=N Damn, this is the greatest waste of time since Rubiks cube

they were talking about this on TV last night. the possibility of hundreds of HOT ROD pics did not occur to me. this will give me something to do at work tomorrow.
I see something I have never seen before in that picture. And thst is the distributor for the Abone. Is that a ford V8 disributor right there in the middle of things? Amazing , Amazing, Amazing. TraderJack
