AUTOS CARS CUSTOM

 Not very clearly written out on the webpage with these images is that this barnfind Diamond T was one of a few sold by the Utah dealership that was Ab Jenkins sponsor and trucking help during his Mormon Meteor II Bonneville record setting runs.


Above is from the same dealership, and since I've never posted a Diamond T tow truck, I had to do it.

and above you see the hauler on the right

the last 4 are from my post about the movie "Boys of Bonneville" http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2012/07/movie-review-of-boys-of-bonneville-in.html?showComment=1366481639147#c7656346948366419572

Great garage couch, a 70's Ford LTD or Lincoln Town Car maybe, cut at the dutchman panel, with the rear seat in the truck, trunk lid attached and raised... very impressive! The main character's family business is a junkyard in Hong Kong. The coffee table is a couple of racing tires with a glass top, corners are safety protected with cut tennis balls.



Wouldn't it be great if your team sponsor showed up with a trailer FULL of tires? on the left is the race car transporter, sides and top are gull winged out of the way to provide shade and rain shelter, the cars are on a 4 corner full hoist for working on or under, and allows for 4 cars in the trailer. Superb


Here's examples of the Herbie the love bug style racing cinematography. Not bad, just derivitive.

Or maybe Mad Mad Mad Mad World. Don't be concerned, the movie is well paced, decently acted, fun and a great mix of Jackie Chan martial arts/gymnastics and sports car racing

 wow... wire rims, and aerodynamics... but no information on what is the story behind that car

looks like a bus converted to use as a car hauler, and though the step cut outs are great, the cab looks ridiculous


If the weather is so nice you can sleep outdoors, a bunkbed on your Pontiac might not be a bad idea for the kids to look at the stars

ever think about concept car designers being amazing at everything except the glaringly obvious rims and wheels? Always the most let down aspect of a cool prototype

that wagon must weigh a lot...

 the adjustable wings are suspect, but the fold up 4 wheels looks like brilliant engineering.

the racing scenes are magnificent



one of the characters in the movie lives or stays at some place that has these representations of the race tracks in the Gran Prix circuit on the 2 storey wall in the staircase







below is the scene where James Garner's character drives some other characters wife home



 Naturally beautiful woman, Jessica Walter



 Hertz Shelby GT350 Mustang that James Garner's character drove as a commuter





below are examples of the multiple uses that VW vans were used for in the 60's... they were used for everything, advertising signboards, mobile mechanics tool boxes,



 this mobile gas station seems to be a converted bus

 more great cinematography


Now to the making of
 cool 1960's French helicopter, an Alouette


director Frankenheimer was a amatuer racer, Ferrari fan


a real GT 40 was used as a camera car. I've posted photos of this in the archives, and can't find them
