Those Alfas! I bet they were a handful to drive. Friction shocks too!
One of the best years for style. 59 is my fav. Nice shot.
Strange you say that as I have seldom seen this problem in my 75 years until the new stuff was made.
I would have no trouble filling that with old cars and parts.
Love the Jeepster. I had a 49 with a Studebaker 356 V8 but still using the Jeep 458 rear gears. Fast up to about 70mph.
Propane tanks for the grill used to be called 20 pound bottles. Now they are 15 pound and the price is higher too.
Interesting that this rod uses the somewhat rare exhaust manifold with the accessory mounting part but it's not being used for anything.
This was a fad in the late 50s called then "white sidewalls" like the tires. Wonder if any of the "hipsters" know they look like grandpa used to?
I have a paint locker made from an old broken freezer.
I could really use a barn that size--i'd fill it with cars and parts in very short time.
I built one of these (mostly bodywork) for a country music star a few years back. Painted Tennessee Tuxedo Blue.
One more strange one that might help someone else. We had aa incident where a four way set of switches stopped working such that two of the three would do absolutely nothing. A small child had cleverly put the third switch exactly in the middle so that nothing worked. Again, a better switch would not allow this.
I have solved several strange lighting problems by replacing cheap switches with better quality ones. One example is a ceiling LED light bar which "glowed " in the dark when switched off. New commercial grade switch fixed this.
Back in college days a local state trooper special ordered a 65 GTO with a 421 tri power thinking the boys with the 389's wouldn't be able to escape his hot pursuit. He wasn't a car guy though so he got an automatic and didn't get the posi rear end with the 390 gears so he still got dusted.
