Variety of cool stuff I came across at the GNRS

Made me laugh

Really great look, I don't think I've seen a steering wheel like this before

before the Garmin, early primitive man had a MAP! This mounted clip board seems to be function and utility for a rally

great collection!

The shifter know instead of the normal handle is a cool touch, the white walled red rims with beauty rings are damn good looking too

the unusual things that cought my attention at SEMA

Great idea for an instant pop up parking sign

Barstool racers

The above beautiful wood, is twisted olive. real stuff.

Tribute to Barney Oldfield's Golden Submarine http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2009/01/barney-oldfield-and-golden-submarine.html

A couple of woodys I've never seen before, a 1921 Renault and a Goggomobile

A couple of guys have commented that the red car is a Bantam, but it isn't. It's a Goggomobile.
And the source of that info is from the source of the photos, Caradisiac http://www.forum-auto.com/automobiles-mythiques-exception/section5/sujet225087-3780.htm

Hugh Chisholm's 1934 woody, more than one US President are connected to it and Hugh Chisholm... because he also had a 243' yacht in the DC area

Hugh was very very rich, and had a very very big yacht built... so nice that when the Presidential yacht USS Potomac was deemed unfit for open water duty, the US Navy decided the next best yacht (or the best, as we just read that the Potomac wasn't in good condition) was Hugh's private yacht that had been custom built for him by the Bath Iron Works (same shipyard that built submarines for the US Navy)


" President Truman spent more time aboard than any president spent on a presidential yacht "
