wheelie bars... huh. I wonder how many guys bought these, and never had them touch pavement?

it takes a crazy amount of traction to lift the front... and this guy did it on ordinary street asphalt

Malco/Ohio George - had some weird traction bar design on this Mustang

It might even be a dual wheelie bar and push bar set up

Landy's Dart, and the Little ol Lady from Pasadena in a commercial for Whamo Wheelie Bars for kids bikes

that little wheelie bar wheel is extremely well engineered, and balances this dragster perfectly

drag racing, wheelie bar sporting, wheelstanding stingray... damn

Well, now that I look at them closer, maybe calling those "wheelie bars" was a mistake, but they are sure set for showmanship wheelies

some cool photos from some of my favorite sites

 it is an American LaFrance speedster, they made a lot of firetrucks.  http://bubblevisor.blogspot.com/ for a couple more photos, and the story about it http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2009/12/1915-american-lafrance-speedster.html

 wheelie bars, pro stock/pro street.. so very 1970's. Love it. http://endlessme.tumblr.com

 1947 Dutch railways, Fiat Topolino, the only one I've ever seen as a railcar. http://t-s-k-b.tumblr.com

 possibly a Red Bug or Oriental Buckboard, with either the Briggs and Stratton motor wheel or a Smith Motor wheel http://www.reservatory6.blogspot.com

Poway Transmissions - Annual Motorhead Madness

Hell yes, never grow up, never grow old

 interesting heater controls, too bad news cars don't have controls that look as good as this... new plastic knobs all look the same, boring with no design thought beyond cookie cutter bean counter plain ugly

Best looking factory gauge pods I've ever seen

 Why were Vettes the only cars with igition system covers? Seems like a fine idea for noise supression of static to the radio

 Green shag carpet? Really? To hide the puke stains of the first time riders who get nausea from the ugly color?

 flip down tables... not a bad idea

Cool controls

 mid 60's Stang with early 70's Stang hubcaps, I've never seen that match up before

 These wrapped headers are pointing forward in a Pinto... it gives them all the needed room to get the collectors connected to the exhaust pipes

Modern Mopars have what is known as the "gunsight grill" but this Ford Fairlane grill center emblem seems to have beat them to the idea by 3 or 4 decades
