the above station wagon I've posted before, but the 50's collection that it carries still stuns me
above, a new license plate painted like a 60's in colors, but it doesn't have the same format as a 60's California plate, 3 letters and then 3 numbers
pretty cool little car ornament!
more 8 tracks than I've seen in one place in all the car shows I've been to for years
above, best car call board I've seen in a while, and the bottom round piece is the right size to fill the area of the rim behind it
above, the Holden station wagon that was at SEMA last year http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2013/04/not-camaro-its-holden.html
above, far out custom.... that might have been a Chevy truck, but, really... who the hell knows

The old can with MOROSO decal on the top is a "Cool Can". It was used primarily in drag racing. You would connect your fuel line to the inlet on the can, then run a line from the outlet to the carb(s).
ReplyDeleteThe can was packed with ice, keeping fuel cool to prevent vapor-locking.
Ummm, yeah. You're killin me man... I captioned the photo "Old Cool Can" and took the photo because I was impressed to find an old one.
DeleteI do appreciate the comments though, and had never heard of the cologne thing, I figured it was a fold your own toy type of thing... http://paperslotcar.blogspot.com/2013/07/uma-maravilha-de-colecao.html for example
Good grief....something is wrong with my vision. When I read it this morning it read, "Old oil can with cork wrapper". Then again, it was pre-coffee.....probably the problem.
Deletethis getting old thing we are all doing, it's not as easy as we make it look! I was with my girlfriend picking out bifocals for her today! She's only 43!
DeleteI'm pretty sure that the little cardboard Mustang was originally used to hold a bottle of cologne. The company was "Perfume du Cor"....or something like that. There were different cars used for the promotion, including a Mopar. I think it was a 'Cuda convertible. I have one somewhere.
ReplyDeleteHere's a link to the 'Vert 'Cuda:
