Ouch!

obligatory pic (eeuuuwww, wtf is this monstrosity?)


George Barris no doubt! His fingerprints are all over it. frown
 

Funny, Barris was doing this stuff, and Max Balchowsky was building superb "junkyard dog" road race cars a few miles away in LA. Max's dogs looked a whole hell-of-a-lot better IMO.

I think it is the rear half of a Frontenac inline 8 

Gaston Chevrolet (driver with the great 'stache). Came close to winning Indy in that car in maybe 1920. Died in a crash at a board track a year later in LA. Different car though.

My two boys and I went to Gettysburg over the weekend, kind of a spur of the moment trip.  We had a relative there who was wounded on the 3rd day so we tracked down his unit markers.

Vehicle registration belonging to my wife's grandfather:

That would get a frame and a place of honor in my office

 

That disc got HOT, wrecked the spindle, bearings and everything

They sent me this after repairing the wheel end; it fell out of the trailers frame when they brought it down off the lift

The old folks around here referred to the above as Hoover Carts. (or maybe not). This looks like a car body mounted on a wagon bed.  Hoover carts were cars that were modified to be pulled by mules or horses.

Saratoga Auto Museum's new event is Radwood Cars.  Calloway Corvette Roadster (no roof available), S-10 Cyclone, Mitsu I don't know enough about, Mrs. Petersen's personal Bentley Turbo and an electric something silly.  This is  < 1/3 of the collection.  Cars will be replaced and or added in the coming weeks.

That's a Mosler Consulier, not an electric something silly.  Ugly, but serious cred.
