This was racing on the lakes 80 years ago. Sheesh. Photos from http://www.blogger-index.com/feed424779.htmlGenerally acknowledged as the oldest surviving hot rod in existence, this historic vehicle dates back to the Muroc dry lakes competition of the 1930s. It has had just about every engine under the hood, from a Model T four-banger to an injected Chrysler Hemi.After the car's wheelbase was stretched from its original dry lakes configuration, Art Chrisman used it to record the first quarter-mile clocking in excess of 140 mph, in Santa Ana, Calif., in 1953, and it made the first run down the track in Great Bend, Kan., during the ribbon cutting for the inaugural NHRA Nationals in 1955.Chrisman had retired the car from competition in 1957, when he constructed his Hustler dragster, but painstakingly restored it to its original running condition.Info from http://www.nhra.net/museum/features/feature36.html

Above a WW2 Crosley 3 wheeler Gas in the spark plugs... wow, that was a long time ago I think the above is the supercharged straight eight not good to see your back wheel pass you by Stutz Blackhawk at Ormand Beach Steam powered lawn mowers.... your neighbors would freak out. crew cab model a, custom made Great old vintage bike stand They said it's photoshopped, but I don't care Ner a car They look like they are bolted to a bar under the bikes, probably a carnival ride Above is a Willys or Graham I think I like the van without the headlights, nice custom bodywork look Private Hawaiian plantation tourist trainride Morgan, very early I bet I'd never heard before that Oral Roberts (televangelist) had bought a Futurliner... huh That helmet is terrific I know I have forgotten what I used to know about the above dragster. 1906 Stanley Steamer set the land speed record for steam powered cars at Ormand Beach, and that 126 mph record still stands. Steam was obsolete so quickly after Stanley and Doble perfected its use in cars, that no one even tried o break their record Way cool Triumph gas tanks stringed art. I doubt it plays, but it does look incredible Gyro stabilized car Vespa in the back of a Citreon 2cv... awesome

see these and a whole lot more at http://goawaygarage.blogspot.com/ but don't look while at work, there is a lot of hardwood floors and tatays
