planepics Loc: St. Louis burbs, but originally Chicago burbs

Every Wednesday, a local Irish pub/restaurant down the street from where I work has a car show in it's parking lot. I've gone two or three times to take some pics (too lazy or tired to go after work). This time, there was a truly antique car, an Oakland (predecessor to Pontiac). I forgot the age, but I think the owner said it was a 1910 model. It was really cool to see something like that not in a museum! Here are most of the pics (I hope not too many for your viewing pleasure). Enjoy!

The windshield is called a "monicle" (think Mr. Peanut)


Wooden rims


Check out the cylinder priming valves




Century plaque and oil lamp




Gaslight and (water temperature?) guage






Horn, shifter, and brake (I think)

That windshield sure is ergonomic, keep them bugs off your teeth at the blazing speed this thing could reach !lol

That is great coverage. I was thinking why wouldn’t a news paper or news group buy just as you wrote it.
