This was a restored car, caught in the past autumn's San Diego wild fires of unprecedented magnitude
that was a carburetor
That is about all that remains of a side window
The yellow smudges once were taillights or turn signals
This was pulled out of what was left of a garage, and all that was salvageable was suspension, maybe the powertrain, and brakes.
Plymouth Sport Fury
I believe that if I were to challenge everyone to identify this make and model by the taillights
...no one would get it. That is kinda cool, that lots of cars are immediately recognizable by the taillights, some by the headlights, and most by a glance from a half a block away.
The jury is out. .. I'm undecided how I feel about this. It's got a Pontiac 455
I dig the hoodscoop, and the side exhaust / exhaust tip.
However, the factors that are holding this back are the lack of bumpers, the bad nose job, and the metallic flake paint.
Early 40's Teardrop, the exterior alone is remarkably outfitted
I must imagine that you, the 3 or 4 hundred regular viewers, enjoy the eclectic hodge-podge of stuff I take pictures of. I'm hoping you feel that you are getting a very good variety of everything that is interesting and somehow related to the world of transportation.

1930 Plymouth, with a remarkable collection of original brochures!
These two brochures share some of the same artwork , but are differet sizes. Strange that 2 different poster size brochures were printed. Way cool to have them for your 78 yr old car!
And a '30 Plymouth is the featured prize in this contest. How incredibly rare to have this ad, for a vehicle, after all these years that they've never been together.
The shape of the speedometer frame is very similar to the shape of the radiator support!
Only the gas gauge is not working, and it ran up to 50 psi oil pressure real fast!
