new color photos of 1940's dry lake bed hot rod racing

(Actually this one is a "new" picture. It's of the Reelers c.c. out of LA, taken within the last 3 years. AJ Elias commented) Well it has an old vintage look, it fooled me!

Well one black and white photo had to find a good place to be posted. Not like anyone is going to complain.

What do you think, an airport runway snow melter?

Buckminster Fuller and a Dymaxion

Cuban taxi's.... aren't they awesome! Looks like a 55 Ford and a 53 Chev. I'd take a ride in these over a modern taxi, damn right I would

I'm not sure, but it looks like the trans-arctic vehicle

A street car used to build artificial reefs

The Vereycken Diwheel 1947 and you can read more about it http://douglas-self.com/MUSEUM/TRANSPORT/diwheel/diwheel.htm

The Munsters coach it looks like, it is on Santa Monica Blvd, and it's 1964

An Autogyro over New York

a photo of the Blitzen Benz I haven't seen before

looks like El Mirage

What an Americana moment, the purple car is a Studebaker Commander I think

the Scandanavian Street Rod bellytanker was at El Mirage

the Bean Bandit Ford Mainline, #296 XF/PRO, because it doesn't wear pretty paint doesn't mean it isn't cool and fast. I love patina'd old race cars

The above shot had me recalling the pose that Snoopy strikes as his alter ego, Joe Cool
