this Oakland Speedster was at the Grand National Roadster show







I bet this doesn't show up at the Oakland Pontiac club outings... that's too bad, it would be a blast to see the reaction from the nut and bolt, rotisserre restoration crowd when they got a eyefull of this

paint design by wind tunnel, good idea!

LeMans 1970. Porsche 917LH “Psychedelic”. The cars paint scheme came from the painter who put green dabs on the car and placed it in a wind tunnel while the paint was still wet. This was the end result and he placed it on the real car. Only two of these cars built. The sister car set the fastest lap and reached a top speed of 245 mph.

when your rear wheel parts company with your race car and passes you in the turn, it must be Monday

Photo from http://5window.tumblr.com/ I think, it might have been http://motomania.tumblr.com/ ... I can't recall.

Funniest photo I've seen all day. While I'm on the topic; overheard at the car show today " this girl asked if she could get in my Minerva, so I said "Sure go ahead".. and waited til she was halfway in, and then said "I'm sure the owner won't mind . . . " and she freaked out.

Cool stuff from Ze Last Chance Garage


BMW plant 1923


John was catching some light under all four tires

When is the last time you saw advertising for a Nash?
Nice streamlining around the spreader bar


I'd love to see a full gallery about this racecar!

What a beauty!

No idea why the rotary engine is flanked by elephant tusks.


Goofy 60's kooky kustom show cars. I dig the Woodlight headlights on the one below





All bent out of shape, and I doubt it landed on the rubber
What an idea, a scooter that is strong enough to pull a small teardrop
