I found another photo to make a matched set for this old street sweeper on Steampunkvehicles.tumblr.com

I found the above on Shorpy I think, but Steampunkvehicles posted the below, and it's impressive that another photo was taken at the same moment.. at least the guy hanging on to the side of the vehicle didn't change position while it was in front of the bandstand... more impressive that in this great big planet the two photos are matched up

1927 Franklin "Airman Series Sedan" looks great, has a terrific lamp inside




Thanks for the photos got to Angyl! Appreciate the photos and that look inside at the lamp, very cool! Not many people take photos of the interior interesting things about old cars. I like to see if there are unusual things inside, it's not often, but occasionally there are unique little things to enjoy

Steampunk Vehicles Tumblr just clued me in on double front ended inspection railcars




When it was not easy to turn them around, and they knew that the car would need to return to its original location, they had to build with two engines, so it doesn't overheat from driving backwards long distance.... as the radiator needs the airflow to keep the engine cool. I just learned this from Johnny at Steampunk vehicles!

blog.1aauto.com is giving Hooniverse competition on great stories and interesting rare stuff, like this red Delorean, and 76 Road Runner

In 1982, Delorean Cadillac in Cleveland Ohio had some Delorean’s on the lot that they were having trouble selling. Rather than giving them away at a loss or sitting on them forever, they decided they might sell if they were more colorful. The problem is painting stainless. So Delorean Cadillac had PPG come up with a paint that would adhere to the stainless. They succeeded and before long, several DMC’s were painted a variety of fun colors like red, purple, and blue. http://blog.1aauto.com/2011/06/30/you-want-to-see-the-candy-apple-red-delorean/#more-6395

http://blog.1aauto.com/2011/06/27/this-road-runner-took-full-advantage-of-the-1970s/
plus great stuff like a Bentley stuck on the beach, a GTOmino and a Mustabird!

For all of these: http://blog.1aauto.com/ is the place
