Coolest damn thing you'll see all week. 1913 Harley, heavily optioned,TANDEM !, unrestored, with a quick history and instructions how to start it. WOW

the bike's options are discussed for the first 5 minutes, then the bike is started up and the procedure is wonderfully demonstrated, step by step. (starts at minute 5:30)
Thanks Mike! This is great!

Speedometer I've never come across before, a windspeed indicator mounted to the hood trim on a 40's Chevrolet

I bet it works as a bug deflector like the green one I photographed as well as a speedometer

Heavily optioned 57 chev convertible. Can you identify the 2 things on the dash?

the glass clamshell is for prisming the lights from a stop light, so you don't have to look up and crane your neck, remember that the windshields were a lot more verticle back then instead of aerodynamic and laid back like todays cars... it wasn't as easy to look up at the intersection lights if you were the first at the stop.

The other thing?

That thing on the dash board just above the headlight switch is a sensor for the automatic dimming headlights. It sensed the headlights of an oncoming car.

John D. Weimer emailed me to let me know, Thanks! 3 years and no one had filled me in about that!
