Steve is a research genius, he tracked down the Vespa Katherine Hepburn is riding in the photo I posted, and what movie she was working on
The above is the photo I posted, and Steve was wondering about the Vespa, googled the license plate, and found the below photo of that same plate and Vespa
Different spare tire mounting system
But here above, is Kate on the set again, and in the below photo is in a scene with Bob Hope http://www.imdb.com/media/rm3144194048/nm0000031 in the trench coat and hat that she wears in the Vespa photo
Isn't that incredible!

pre 1940's gas station, just an awesome photo, and a rare early color one
Only advertising big wheel I've ever seen, great idea!
Unusual Superbird with a 1970's funly paint job

3 ads in one dealership... Rambler, Jackson, and India, I like that slogan "No sand too deep, no hill too steep"
What are they doing with this elephant? Trying to break the car?
Rockwell was such a talented artist and pretty good at humor too

Clint Eastwood

Petty on the left, Yarborough on the righ if I recall correctly, in the Woods Brothers Mercury

Why did Ford have more ugly Falcon models than good looking Mustangs?

photos found at a car show
Tires sold that got over a thousand miles made it to the wall of fame... doesn't that say a lot about the short life span expectancy of tires in the 1930's

Rutger Hauer, who spoke an amazing movie line in "Bladerunner" "I've seen things you wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate. All these moments will be lost in time. Like tears in rain." I've always liked that quote
William Shatner
Paul McCartney
John Lennon
Steve McQueen
Christina Applegate
Tina Turner in Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome
