ETA: Also, that telephone looks huge. |
Right behind the driver, it's out of a front wheel drive Toranado. That's a 60s phone.

And now for something completely different:

When cars were new and the public enthralled...
|
$2,500 in 1909? That's some serious cash.
|
The online inflation calculator only goes back to 1913, but $2,500 in 1913 would be $61,042.68 today
|
Holy shit!!

Rod Hall

Rod Hall is the only one to have raced in all 24 Baja 1000 races, winning 24 class wins and one first overall.
Next year he plans on going for his 25th win, despite being diagnosed with Parkinson's, and being 79 years old. |
That's awesome.
That kind of racing is brutal, on man and machine. |
I remember reading about Rod Hall and Ivan Stewart in Off-Road magazine when I was an early teenager.
I remember when Popdigr bought an old International Scout about that time. I was gonna race that Scout in the Baja 1000.:devil: |

The goggles are for the blood and guts in the backwash...
|
No way. That didn't exist. It's a hoax.
Even if it did exist, what's the steering wheel for? |
To swivel the motor.
|
Brakes? Who needs 'em?
|
One giant disc brake.
|
That thing looks scary. Want!!!
|
I think that "steering wheel" might actually be the brake. And you steer by leaning.
|
With that prop pulling instead of driving the wheel, leaning may keep you going in the same direction, but leaning. :eek:
|
Looks top heavy. More of the mass, the guy's torso, the motor, all above the equator he's riding on.
Still, unbelievably cool. |

Good find. Lots of info and design variations on imgur
|
Wow, those three-piece pushrods couldn't have had much of a lifespan...
|
I think that was designed with drag racing in mind so they wouldn't have to. It was the only way to get up through the heads, and the reason he gave it up when Ford came out with the cammer.
|
Did you rob a liquor store or hit and run? Maaco will rat you out, so do it yourself. ;)
|
the tire is his reservoir tank? he belongs in the diy thread. very creative.
|
Yes, the tire is the tank. That pump could never keep up with the gun.

The very first Z-28 Camaro ever built. Owned by Hugh Heishman, driven by Johnny Moore in the Daytona 24 hour Continental, 6 Trans Am races, and 2 SCCA events. Now restored to race trim.
|
A '69 Z/28 (orange hard top w/white stripes) was alllllllllllmost my first car. I had the cash, but Popdigr was a little afraid to let me loose with it (just turned 16). It was nice, too. Built 350, Holley carb, 4-speed.
And only $2500.:bitching: |

Sleek...

From that angle, that car is a work of art.

Yes, they were gorgeous.
From the same time period, Chrysler and Ghia came up with this... |

Rambler. Rambler? Rambler!
|
U. G. L. Y.
That car ain't got no alibi It's ugly, It's ugly |
Sure, that's what makes it such a great sleeper.
|
Butbutbut, I gotta look at the thing every time I get in it.
I'd have to tint the windows, too. I drive a 94 Grand Cherokee (ug-leee), and even I don't want to be seen in that thing (the Rambler). |
But it did remind me of this:
|
Exactly, even better with a couple of child mannequins in the back seat, a hula dancer on the dash, and a plastic flower on the antenna. :lol2:
|
Grav, the exact same thought popped into MY mind as well.
I think I'm scared now! |

I drove this road three times (six with returns) before it was totally paved, but not nearly as bad as in 1957. But it was hella better in 1957 than when my Uncles did it in 1949, my father in 1951, and my grandparents in 1952.
|
catchy
|
That was pretty cool!
A couple observations. They drove that pickup 1100 miles on a single tank of gas? I'm pretty sure I'm missing something there... Also, the bridge at 2:46 looks like the bridge at Nenana over the Nenana river where the breakup Ice Pool is held. |
