    Early '30's GMC. This just went for $670.00 on eBay.

    Seems that I've got one or two of these somewhere around the house... ;)

    Always loved the pure artistry of them myself...and was stunnd at all the different varitions I saw at the Clive Cussler Auto Museum here in Denver. If you can afford $8 for a 2009-2010 calendar, he has some very unique examples from some very expensive cars:

    I've got this one, no idea where it came from though. If anyone knows, please post. It's big (that's a penny in the foreground) and it has the wire piece going across it, I can't figure out what that was for, except maybe a handle?

  9. It's a Lalique. René Lalique, a Parisian jeweler, worked his magic in glass from 1915 until the late 30's. Only 27 designs in all, each a work of exquisite art.

    BIG bucks. REALLY BIG bucks.

    And beautiful.

    Simple details like this are probably one of the reasons Fords are so popular.

    1930s Packard basic radiator cap. The styled bail is not functional on your cap.

    Previous models from the twenties used a bail to hold the radiator cap on.
