photos I meant to post when I still knew where I'd found them

1938 Alfa 8C 2900B Le Mans
Those are incredibly good looking Jaguars
On of the most remarkable and well designed instrument gauge clusters I've ever seen
Fiat 1400b junior Ghia
Awesome use of a hoodscoop to make an ugly car better looking
Sorry, I don't know where these came from anymore, but I bet they were from websites that I've posted from in the past month

Power in reserve

This is the gauge in the 8 yr old Rolls that moves counterclockwise from 100 to 0, the percent of what is left is the flip side of the RPM.

learned while watching Top Gear Season 2 Episode 2

Lioncoln Premiere, when Lincoln cars had their own style and design department, and weren't cookie cutter fords or mercs with different nameplates

Notice the enormous running lights - turn signals in the bumpers, has to be the biggest I've ever seen on a car or truck



on the left side of the photo are the cool switch levers.. they might make a bitchin addition to a hot rod



What a big old barge, must be a great solid feeling tank of a ride.

First cruise of the season in Escondido


Above is one of the side streets, not the main drag. Below is the duece donation grill

Tweety bird mudflaps.. yikes.

great shifter, it's in a 50's Dodge Sierra












Great centerpiece design and dash piece over the glove box. The dual ashtrays are not unique, a few cars had them, but the clock between and the radio above turned out really well
Instantly recognizeable tail light, I like that about older cars from the 60's


Hudson Terraplane dash and speedometer instrument gauge, unique in being in the center of the top of the dash

good looking design

and the shifter stalk, about the size of a normal flashlight... good looking elegant design for the 1930's. The Tucker had the same shifter
