    Yesterday my wife and I visited a long established trophy shop. The guy mentioned me had some old metal trophy toppers in the ba*****t.....long story short. This was yesterday's haul. At less than $3.00 each, I happy and my hunger for old car show trophy's has been satisfied for a little while. I believe this was a case of hot rod guy karma. Automotive Art---yes indeed. Gary p.s. the thumb is pretty also.

    Trophy toppers from the 1950s are really cool. Here are some from Southern California.
