Art & Inspiration Speed shop display items picture thread, show us what you have!!

Everyone great stuff....Love it!.....Kev I love seeing pics of your place.

 

Cool stuff Kev !! Your torch hose hanger ROCKS !!! >>>>.

 

wow...

 

Engine Pro 5X.......I bought that Halibrand wheel for $20 at a swap meet back in the 80's. It is a 6 hole with major damage . Must have been on an old sprint car that hit the wall. It looked like a great hose hanger to me.

 

Here is an old Edelbrock valve cover and intake display item I got off Ebay thanks to a tip from a friendly HAMBer. It is metalflake red fiberlass with dealer decals on ends and old round Edelbrock decals on the sides. It didn't come with the parts. I borrowed the intake from friend Vic Young.

 

Not a 'Speed Shop' item(nor 'PC' in this day and age), but it is one of the favourites of the few vintage automotive things I posses.

 

i am confused,are these museum pics?,,,,killer garages guys,,must have took years,,,

 

Not nearly as cool as the stuff already shown but I hunted for one of these for many years before I found it. A display item for the counter. You were told to put it on the floor and stand on the shelf that is just glued to the liquid filled bottle. We called it golf ball glue. It was much later when I discovered how great this stuff really is for restoring old steering wheels.

 

I recently got a couple of items from Ed Iskenderian himself. He is such a cool guy, just a really nice man. I feel lucky to have spent a little time with him. I got this Peterson book rack that must have been in th Isky lobby/showroom for over 40 years....



Looks good in my garage....



I also got this light weight plastic sign from Ed....



The American Wheel tire stand was a swap meet purchase.



Another swap meet buy, 8' long Cragar sign.

 

Very cool Kev,but I gotta tell you....the CRAGAR sign would look much better in my shop! your a lucky guy!

 

wow....just wow.

 

Up.

 

Mere words cannot convey my combination of envy and appreciation. Incredible collections. I've still got a few items that I didn't sell after the last divorce,but not that many are "speed shop"-the theme of this thread-related. Leans more to basic petroliana. I'll have to get some pics,post 'em up and let the jury decide.

 

Cleaned up the sign and plugged it in with the lights off.

 

I can't compete, but I do have this one....

 

These two are more dealership/garage signs, but they are real, and they are my favorites. The tiny Eelco feet are magnets that were found inside the vent in my Dad's old TR-4, many years ago.
