I've been pondering this a bit. I'm assuming it would have been drum brakes back in the late 1950s, and I'm wondering if they built brake shoes...
Poking through the images posted here I came to a yellow cover featuring a nice woody for an August issue of Rodding and Re-styling magazine and...
Relax. He's got the first aid kit conveniently located right in front of the fuel tank to help deal with any minor mishaps. :D
I honestly don't know spit about the carbs on that thing other than that they are some old-school looking 2 barrel jobs, but right off the bat...
Wait. They actually built a million V-8 cars by July 11th, 1934? That's rather impressive, I think, considering the first ones were built for...
Yeah, man. They certainly did have some clean lines. Love them just as they rolled off the assembly line.
I don't usually step into these discussions to disparage a guy's work, especially when the work was completed when I was still a toddler, but this...
Rumble seat! YES! :)
I noticed those, too. I can't recall ever seeing anything quite like those.
Yeah, man. It's got an elegant simplicity about it. It still has all of the appropriate shiny metal bits including the door handles that are...
It isn't likely that the 5-speed column shift mechanism's bits and pieces from an early 1960s vintage Alfa Romeo 2600 Berlina could be easily...

I'll bet some of the regulars here would love to find one of the replacement heads shown in the article for an old straight eight and build one of...
Then you have come to the right place, my friend. ;)
Love the dual-purpose wheel chock. :)
Some, perhaps, but ... 1937 Talbot-Lago Type 150 CS - Jay Leno's Garage - YouTube I have to admit I was more than a wee bit surprised to see...
The first caption in the third image that says that the left side door is welded shut, but the first image seems to show it wide open. Odd. That...
Like some of the others posting here the color seemed like an unorthodox choice to me, but even with that (and perhaps even partially as a result...
Was it just me or did the guy in the cowboy hat who was leaning over the engine of the Mustang at the 4:33 mark look familiar? Was that Smokey...
Okay, okay. I'll turn off the eight track player and park the moon rocket in the carport. Sheesh. A guy can't even have any fun anymore.
Speaking of Talbot Lago Teardrops (and a number of folks here have) I had the pleasure of seeing one of these rare beauties in the flesh (so to...
That auction, by the way, is taking place at the Simeone Museum in Philadelphia, which is down near the airport there. The viewing for the cars...
What is it with the crybaby dolls at car shows? Why would people think those were an appropriate thing to place next to their cars?
Are the necessary larger sizes available for a 15" rim? I don't get the impression that 15" rims are all that hard to find, and I suspect that...
Well, since he's already got the 700r4 and the adapter plate ...
Set the ignition key to the "ACCESORY" position. ;)
Folks might need to know a little about the engine it is on.
I could see running two (or better yet, three) 94s on a 327 if you had a manifold to mount them directly and without adapters, but if you have a 4...
I've been pondering the possibility of building one as a three-wheeler with a single, swingarm-suspended wheel in the rear and powering it with a...
Hey, man! Move outa the way! You're blocking my view of the cars! ;)
