Good variety of photography at Pizdaus
How stoked would you be to find this ?
I just dig the contrast in this one.

I just dig the contrast in this one.via : http://pizdaus.com/
90 to 100 year old automobiles(mostly) can be found at http://www.shorpy.com/
1908 International Harvester
look closely at this truck, click on it to make it full size, and you'll see it's an electric... solid tires, house window for a front windshield, it's a 1918 Walker with all the batteries in the low box between the front and rear axles... big squeeze bulb horn on the bench next to the driver.I also think the lamp-post is terrific, why did they ever get rid of style in public utilities?

Possibly a GTO clone to be?
This Tempest has really got potential, just not as a restored Tempest... I look at the 1/3 vinyl top... and think yuck. Whether or not the black side panel paint is a good idea or not... the jury is out
Almost ready for the spring car shows? Take the cover off and let 'er shine!
I'm thinking this is a 69 Mustang, nice choice of big and littles for the right stance

Three 426 hemis in 3 stages of readiness, from left to right: full race, slightly modified, and original-untouched.67 Shelby GT 500 Cobra Mustang, one of the 40 or so with the 427 side oiler
The diamond shaped stickers are the first 5 years or so of drag racing, and then it was sold to the current owner, John, who has had it ever since (71 or 72) and when I met him he was the manager of the Hickham Air Force Base (Pearl Harbor Hawaii) auto hobby shop.He told me he'd take it out to to Oahu drag strip just to put the Chevy's down... and the Mopars, the Pontiacs, the imports, basically everything.
