The Beerster Buick Straight 8 was at the LA Roadster Show

Not based on a real car, but what the makers could approximate as a 1936 Indy 500 roadster race car http://www.beerster8.com/

Coolest tail lights I've seen in a while, and totally in style for a bug (they are sequential when indicating a turn)

Sorry I couldn't get better photos, but when you are waiting for autofocus, and driving, and trying to move through traffic, and the car you are hoping to get a shot of has no idea they should wait for you... nothing turned out very well. Just good enough to get the idea that the custom lights are great, innovative, and I'll keep looking for it to get better photos

It's a concept, not a working model, and not liklely to ever get off the ground in a useful way... a hoverbike

My guess is that it's never going to work and that the inventor-dreamer has realized that, and finally decided that he could go public, because it's better to have a little publicity for a near miss, than no publicity for a wipeout no one ever hears about

Found on http://www.neatorama.com but the guys website is http://www.hover-bike.com

Steve Grimes front wheel drving, rear steering hot rod. Brilliant and unique

Mickey Thompson, mechanical genius, has anyone else ever tried to put the intake and exhaust on the same side of a big block head?

Wow. Found in Hot Rod Delux... if you aren't getting every episode, you're wasting time, and making a mistake

factory side mirrors with the extra mini convex mirror built in. Great idea, why aren't they on all new cars?

this is on a Traverse, a GM vehicle, but these don't come on all new GM vehicles. They should.

Most innovative boat - trailer I've ever seen.

Check out Damien's website http://www.nooneridesforfree.com it's dedicated to vans, but he posts some other cool stuff like this too!

Dennis has made a very unusual 1964 Volksrod - rat rod

Appears to be two tone horn on the near fender, and a klaxon or ooga on the far fender



Great multiuse wrench inside the spare
Never see tire pumps anymore


Flashlight and flyswatter... have you ever seen a car with a flyswatter?
Skeleton keys and a beer can opener
Cool floor panels and map holder


Nice luggage, but in the above you see on the right hand area in front of the round Blatz you'll see a rusted tin can... it's the communications microphone to the rear passengers on the rumble seat, it's connected with twine to another can 3 photographs below

Above: The turn signal
Below, the passenger tin can telephone, on the top is the hinge that allows the flap to be lifted so the passengers can talk into it

Looks like a 91 octane requirement notice
Fixes exhaust leak every time
