Totally oldies but classic goodies in old cars

Okay so the scrapbooker in me LOVES this license plate.
Very Tim Holtzy.
Here we are parked at the drive in movies
and they have a real snack bar  set up.

Parked under the The Golden Gate bridge.

What museum would be complete without the hubcap tree.
It's actually a memorial which is very cool.


The infamous Delorean. 
Love the murals. 

So this car is very cool.
if you look very closely behind the steering wheel
there is like a jump seat 
which the museum dude likened to a 
seat where the bad kids go so mom can keep and
eye on them.
This is a 1917 Pierce Arrow.
Even in 1917 kids were bad LOL.

Seriously they don't make pretty cars anymore.
You can't even tell the makes apart anymore and no
creativity. 

Here we are at the drive in cafe complete with
a juke box and everything.

And a coke truck which is
extremely cool looking.

This is a 1912 Stearns-Knight Runabout
CUSTOM MADE
They didn't do custom in the old days unless
money was involved.
Notice the jumpseat OUTSIDE the car.
The museum dude wasn't quite sure who sat there.
And look ma - no seat belts.



This one is sooooo yummy.
Look at that color.
Swoon.
1961 Nash.
And the first car to have an engine in the rear.
It didn't really go over well.
1948 Tucker.


And this is a 1938 American Bantam roadster.
Cool car but it sits like a go cart.
Your legs are straight out...and the pedals are 
really tiny and close together.
And train set ups were involved and so cool.
I grew up around them between my Uncle Harold and dad.
Dad is in the process of setting one up now.
Hopefully he'll have it done soon.

This is a 1956 Cameo and what a pretty girly
truck. Aptly named I think.
And look there is Thomas the Tank Engine.
One of Shane's favorite.
They had pedals on the floor that worked the platforms and barns, carousels, etc.
Very fun stomping on the pedals and trying to figure out which ones moving.
