I look at this, and suppose, I'm required to ask... is the water stored in those two trailer tires? This is around 1960, Missoula Montana

you'll find this surprising... but this isn't a part from a vehicle.

This is a preset radio station gadget from a 1938 Philco 38-690

unusual front tire situation... is that a wire cage to prevent problems, or improve traction for steering?

Mike wants to know if anyone can ID this dashboard, it's 40" wide

 

Found in Maine, near the city of Presque Isle, and that is a LONG way from anywhere else, nearly on the northern Eastern most corner of the state, and the country! 

spotted on the walk, I think it's an International TravelAll

I'll be danged, it's a 92 Autozam. I know, right? WTF is an Autozam? A JDM market car rarely seen anywhere.... but this neighborhood.

 Probably has the South Dakota plates for emissions exemptions. I doubt the car would pass California emissions, if they could even get a computer to connect to it's data. 

Hard as it is to believe, I've actually seen 2 of these in person before. One at the 50th anniversary Hot Wheels show, and one at SEMA 2024

ok, what's the hell is going on with the Ford in the center? Is that a bug screen in front of the radiator, and a huge headlight on the cowl?

I've never heard of a "colored louvre Ford", anyone have a guess what that meant? (1948 Phaeton)

This is the same Fred Carleson Ford as the easily recognized 1934 Santa photo, Salt Lake City

from an Irish apple orchard website. I wish this photo were much larger so I could get a better look at what they did for traction on the back tire, chain, rope, or what.

this caught my eye... ever see this 1951 VW Sport? Or this Dyna panhard? I wonder if these were just the artist's interpretation of the real cars, or ones he made up

It's probably one of these, damn large centipedes from Asia that I saw in Hawaii

Among the largest centipedes with a maximum length of 14 in. This centipede is an active, aggressive predator that preys on any animal it can overpower. Damn thing is venomous, killed a young girl 29 hours after getting bit.

It's nuts what sort of stuff I find and post about.

what's going on with the front bumper things that go under the car? I don't believe I've ever seen anything like that sort of design for front bumpers... or pushbars. But that's got to be a pushbar, right?

one of my favorite things to do is "guess what's under the car cover"

From this angle, with that hood? 

you can see the louvers between the tail and the rear window

but these rims? Dead give away, this is a Ferrari

 Me, I like this game. 

In fact none of the Ferraris I can look at online have fender flares like these. 

what in the world was airplane malt, and why was a company named that?

it looks like someone made a 4 x 4 from this Chrysler Pacifica

 

The only Wilwood brake things NOT in the Wilwood booth, and instead, found on a Rolls Royce... in the Australian tire roasting show area over in the parking lot by the West Hall at SEMA

 

this has me wondering... since it's not chain drive, belt drive, or CV joint... what's it called? Bridgeport Mill controls? (Bike was built and went to shows in 2018-2019) "The General" Western and Atlantic Rail Road, by Dream Fish Customs

Here's a "what is it" about a feature in a road, as I spotted this metal area near an intersection and wonder what it was designed to do.

 

for guesses based on the shape and size, I've speculated that these were for weighing the axle passing over them, or raising to block traffic from that lane, or, for holding a partition of wall, again, to block traffic from that lane, but only to prevent the blocks from being pushed out of alignment and position

in the latest of the "guess what's under the car cover" game

I think it's an amphicar

WHAT in the world of wacky racers is THIS? Bruce knew, (thank you!) it's the Shadow Mk1 Can Am.

I was looking at this, and not really interested, UNTIL

They hit the air brake panels for fully deployed!
