how cool is this old wrecker, they weren't called tow trucks when and where I grew up, they were known as wreckers. One thing I like about this one, the tire covered front bumper was often used to push a vehicle that couldn't move under it's own power, because a lot of cars then were stick shifts, and if the starter or battery wouldn't work, all you needed was a push start.

Above, a Wilkinson motorbike, and the seat! That looks comfortable!
Hard to make out, but the Moroso gold valve covers, and the wheelie bars? I think this was for drag racing
Above, a part of a Norman Rockwell. The best part.
I don't think I've ever seen a woody bus before, but it looks good!

that is the biggest fire gong, or a big train flywheel
the racket 4 motors must have made!

damn cool garage shelving idea!
Yup, the dog lovers would likely be outraged at the dogs stuck in the trunk, but it's a neat photo anyway

the oldest railroad station / depot in the USA, (1830) in Ellicott City Maryland
the oldest surviving railroad station in America, and was the original terminus of the first 13 miles of commercial railroad in the country. The site features the Main Depot building, constructed in 1830-31; the freight house, designed by E. Francis Baldwin and built in 1885; a replica of the first horse-drawn passenger rail car, the Pioneer; and a 1927 "I-5" Caboose. Housed in the freight house is a 40-foot HO-gauge model train layout showing the original thirteen miles of commercial rail track stretching from Baltimore to Ellicott Mills

"the old tools know what they're doing" The most remarkable car restoration story, a 1911 Argyll and the tools that first made it 102 years ago are reunited
simply put, the Argyll car company employed Alex's grandfather as a coach builder, and he had to bring his own tools to work. The car you see in the rest of this gallery is a 1911 Argyll, and that means it's being restored by the grandson of it's first coachbuilder.

from just one of drawers of tools (in the background) that Alex's family has passed down from his grandfather, and there you have the tools and the car reunited, in the hands of the grandson. Remarkable!
When we were discussing his grandfathers tools, he talked about a conversation he'd had with someone, who asked about using the old tools versus new ones, and his reply? " The old tools know what they're doing"

and unfortunately, the body didn't make it through the years in very much more than a pile of driftwood
This is the same Alex that needs a Frontenac SR overhead cam and a 1909 Phoenix rear axle for a 2 cylinder 8/10hp
