Raymond Loewy's 1966 E-type

a unique rumble seat design on a 1926 Rolls, that I've never seen before; a two panel seat, where one lifts up for the seat back, and the panel between that and the cabin, pivots upside down to be the seat of the ruble seat, and seat arms.


A couple more Calvin and Hobbes



1950 Willys-Overland Alcoa Coupé Prototype (thank you George!)


How fast does one have to be going in a truck stop to pull this off?

VW once used a 69 Camaro in an ad... no kidding

this is true


most clever news reporting writing I've read in a while


Travelers on an East Tennessee interstate were forced to brake for workers — and drones, perhaps even a queen — when a truck carrying about 1 million bees crashed Friday.

this is a real photo... where Spring Oak meets Green Valley on the East Side in San Antonio. The 30 mph sign was installed a week ago...


then there was the time Calvin pushed the car out of the garage, because he wanted to use the garage for a secret clubhouse, and the car rolled down the driveway

valve covers on a vintage Hampton Amusement park ride car since the early 70’s. Hampton Rides was a flat ride manufacturer that operated from 1942 to 1993






hand painted Mini pick up, inspired by the 303 squadron, the most successful fighter squadron, consisting of 95% Polish pilots, in the Battle of Britain (thank you Shas!)


Shas corrected my post, with some accurate facts (thank you Shas!) 

the non polish  members of the 303 were flight commander John Kent, a Canadian from Winnipeg serving in the RAF, and Josef František a bit eccentric Czech pilot that entered Polish service after the III Reich annexed Czechoslovakia and he fought with the 303rd to his end in a crash near Cuddington Way. At that time he was number 4 top ace pilot in all allied forces.
