55 drop top Bug, kept in the family


The hood is a NOS piece found in the 80's in a junkyard! Still in the factory shipping material~



Cool gas gauge, I bet a 36 Hp engine doesn't make that indicator move very fast.


Such a cool radio! Best European one I've seen! It's a tube one by the way.



The slot on the left is where the turn signals flip up out of the sides of the car, when the turn signal lever on the steering column is moved, of course.



Corvette Club hosts Seaport Village


Why do Corvette owners show identical cars?




I've never seena shifter like this before! Early 60's Tempest


Just to remind me of where it all began


I don't see many Gt500's at car shows... darn things are expensive!



I don't see many Road Runners either, and I don't think Ive posted a pic of a 68 before

No idea why they did this.... Party foul.

Love the stylized flag...






Early Rolls Royce dash

I followed fast, but faster did he fly.

Be plain, good son, and homely in thy drift.

this frail and worthless trunk!

My better parts are all thrown down;
That which remains is bit a mere lifeless block.
