Timing tags, hood ornaments, toys and other stuff that got my attention at the LA roadster show

This is a 1940's or 1950's baby seat, just like the one Norm's kid was in when Life magazine did a gallery on Norm working on the Kookie car http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/02/life-magazines-gallery-of-norms-little.html











The above was purchased in Yosemite in the 1940's

Looked through onthelosthighway.tumblr

Great home built kart... get a look at the steering wheel! Photo was taken by John Gutman, in Georgia, 1937 http://www.johngutmann.org/viewer/index.html and incredibly, ridethemachine.tumblr posted this yesterday... but I found it on "onthelosthighway.tumblr" today

http://onthelosthighway.tumblr.com/ is a guy who took these photos of his dad, and his dad's 1924 original and untouched Harley Davidson

I finally got to see Jim's UPS cart

The lights work too,

Jim is a mechanic extraordinaire, and worked on Nascar engines if I recall correctly. If you like model A's you'll love the look of Jim's, restored perfectly, but a little bit lowered (I don't remember how) http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2008/06/restored-31-ford-with-documneted.html
