What, no love for the '57-'58 Eldorado Broughams yet? Shame on you guys! I'd scoop out a kidney for one of these things!

Oldsmobile Toronado (some years) AND Cadillac Cimarron FTW

Non-GM 1950's concept cars, eh? Okay. I've always been a fan of the 1953 Packard Balboa-X concept:

"Ruby Baby" by The Drifters. Can't get enough of this old console; there really isn't anything else out there that sounds like an old tube radio

Unfortunately, although this is a gorgeous truck, $12,000 is out of my budget and too much to pay unless it's EXACTLY what I want. But thanks a ton for even remembering the fact that I'm looking out for one. Find a runner in decent shape for no more than $3500 or so and I'd seriously consider rearranging my life for a week for a road trip!

"All I Have To Do Is Dream" by The Everly Brothers, on my new (to me) 1934 RCA Victor model 19K console radio. Something about hearing old songs on an old radio always brings a smile to my face. A local AM station plays old music all night long starting at 10:00 on a program called "Beatles and Before," which I listen to nearly every night. And it's never sounded better than it does on this 74 year-old Art Deco time machine!

Love the old front engine dragster with the Nash Metropolitan body over the driver's compartment

http://news.windingroad.com/etc/beverly-hi...-shadow-pickup/ This thing doesn't look half bad! "Pardon me, sir, but do you have any Grey Poupon?"

Camino: what magazine is that out of?

Sure, why not? No harm in calling. I appreciate it

Very cool. That thing is sharp in black.

Oooooooooooohhhh she is a beauty! I'd ditch that cheesy cowl induction hood for a stock one, but otherwise she's perfect! Any clue on the price?

What I'd like to know is what kind of turd mounts a bike rack on the roof of a car like that? I'd use that as a HUGE negotiating point if I were you.

Paris, France, 1895: Engine 721 punches through the station wall at the Gare Montparnasse.

Power shovels, anybody? I don't know about any of you guys, but I have been in awe of these massive earth movers and also of the massive walking draglines that used to be fixtures in coal mines across the country since the second I became aware of them as a child. Sadly, they're all but gone now. Big Brutus out in Kansas is the only one left. The biggest of the big earth movers like Big Muskie, the Silver Spade, and the GEM of Egypt exist only in photographs and memories. And here's a picture of the Silver Spade's shovel to further emphasize the magnitude of these machines:

There is nary a more manly activity than moving a house with a steam-powered traction engine.

Congratulations, dude! Make sure you keep up the good work in college so you show the generous folks that awarded you the money that they made the right decision.

Good for you guys. Same here. Me and the girl are off to southern New Hampshire before the ink dries on my diploma. f@#k this godawful state!

HAH! That is classic. Many American politicians have some pretty ugly wives; California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's wife Maria "Skeletor" Shriver and former ASSachusetts first lady Kitty Dukakis come to mind most readily. You know what's really funny, though? Dennis Kucinich has a really hot wife. That strange little ancient dork leprechaun of a man has a hot tall redheaded English wife that's 31 years younger than he is. What other American politicians have wives that aren't painful to look at?

Because the People's Republic of ASSachusetts is the only state in the entire country where the government sets the insurance rates. There is NO COMPETITION on rates in ASSachusetts and car insurance can be had through one of two state-approved carriers. Next time you're watching TV and see a commercial for an insurance company like Geico or State Farm, take note of the restrictions displayed at the bottom of the screen: Massachusetts residents need not apply. ALSO ASSachusetts bases their state-determined insurance rates on the number of accidents that occur within a city's borders and rank them on a number scale from 1 to 15; 1 being the best and 15 being the worst. So regardless of what type of driver a person may actually be, the town they live in has as much to do with the amount they pay as their driving record. Me and DF live in $h! towns (Lowell and Lawrence, respectively) filled with $h!bag illegal immigrants that drive around with no licenses and no insurance and cause all sorts of accidents, so both of our cities are ranked as #15 cities. So while we pay exorbitant rates, all of the surrounding towns that legislate the bad people into our cities by shooting down plans for low-income housing at town meetings are ranked around 2 to 4 and pay literally about half as much, sometimes even less. Sounds very fair, doesn't it? We're also the only state in the country that requires State Police details at every single construction site in the state at a cost of $40 per hour overtime pay as stipulated in their contract. That's why there were over a hundred State Police officers that made more than the governor's $140,000 salary last year with a base salary of only $49,000 to $61,000 (based on rank and seniority). And you know what? These figures don't even include the overtime pay they are also eligible for at Turnpike Authority details and Port Authority details. That's triple dipping! Supposedly the reason for these State Police details is because the protection they offer at sites could never be matched by using a flagman like the other 49 states in the country do. Interesting to note that a study done by Suffolk University found that at these construction details monitored by State Police, when accident data was compared with accident data from details in every other state in the country that were watched by the lowly $12 an hour flagmen, ASSachusetts ranked the HIGHEST IN THE COUNTRY in property damage and second highest in bodily injury. So at least the extra policing we taxpayers are forced to pay for is helping to keep insurance rates down. And people wonder why it's the only state in the country with a declining population! So you answer me this: Why WOULDN'T it be so high if every f@#king thing this state does ends up being the most expensive disaster somebody could ever conjur up?

balt: how much for the '39 120; my father might be interested. It would go well with his '37 Super Eight and '40 custom panel truck (made by shortening a basketcase Henney ambulance twenty inches). And when you see the other cars, if there's any 1940 Packards or parts, please let me know; he's desperately looking for a ton of parts or a parts car. The ambulance was about 60% complete when he got it.

Straight into the savings account for me.

autocolorlibrary.com f@#k Toyota.

What I wouldn't give to have a '30 Duesenberg. I'd probably sleep on the garage floor with my arms around it.

I always knew that Al Gore was a lying, worthless sack of $h!, but a good piece of proof like this for all the sheeple that eat up whatever he says is fantastic!
