1947 Healey Westland


The photo is from the early 1950's. I found an article at Hemmings from 2010 reporting on a 1948 model that sold at Amelia Island for $159,500

Coffeeshop in Bedford PA

It was closed at the time but I have to wonder if it was run by an all male Jewish staff.

1937 Brauks-8

This car was built by George Brauks. It is mostly a 1937 Hudson Terraplane that was extensively modified. Read the story on George Brauks here.

Up close and personal


Apparently it is necessary to remove the cab on some trucks in order to access some of the components in the system. One example is the 2010 Ford 250 diesel. There are two sensors that can't be reached/changed out without removing the cab from the chassis.

1955 Cadillac Viewmaster

            vectorimage
 Production #1 of only 7 built. These seven vehicles were the only Cadillac wagons to be sanctioned/supported/approved by Cadillac Motors Division.

The Hess-Eisenhardt Co. of Cincinnati built these vehicles and have done many of the presidential limousines. These wagons sold for $10,000 and up. This one sold for approximately $13,000 through Eberts Cadillac in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

The high cost killed the project for Cadillac but Hess-Eisenhardt carried on with an independent project that produced 12 cars in 1956 and several more in the following years. Most had three seats and apparently all except this one were built as "woodies".

Dangerous surf


I could not find any information associated with this incident. My guess would be it was someplace in Asia. Obviously it was somewhere with no safety protocols in place for activities like this. Absolutely no one had personal floatation devices.
