Frankentrike was at Escondido

Cool guy, great idea, cool trike, terrific addition to Cruisin Grand


It's either pedal powered of that engine (leaf blower?)

No one would have thought 30 years ago that a junkyard would be facinating?



I wonder what that "Special Service" vehicle was for? ( the red van in the background in the photo above )
Cadillac Fleetwood Sixty Special
a 55 Chev I thought... but Dan nailed it! Buick! Now it reminds me of http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2009/01/oldsmobile-beauty-in-blue.html
1969 Mustang Sports roof?
I'd love to see photos of that moving company van
