Thread: A week off

I believe I mentioned it earlier, Bill had to have had the worlds largest collection of pedal cars! Of note is the picture with the boy next to "his car".. He owned that car for some 70 years! His Dad won it in a raffle and gave it to his son.. he kept riding it until he couldn't fit in it any longer. So they tucked it away in the attic, until as an old man he knew something had to be done with it so it went into Bills collection and he would come in and visit the old car every once in awhile! In the trunk it has the original tool kit and grease gun! All to scale too!!! Note the lantern on the running board, also original.. this was the convertible model, the same car but hardtop was upstairs.

How about some more race cars?!?! Or at least a midget racer!
As you can see, he had a pile of'em.

Now a "different" motor to drool over. imagine 2500 hours in fabrication for just the motor?!?!

How about an early chevy small block v-8?

And now a chevy air cooled 4 that didn't come from a corvair.. and a doubled v-8...

And for those "Y- block" fans.

Sooooooooooo Cooooooooooooooooool

And for those serious Flathead guys.

A couple more Flatheads with conversions, the familiar Ardun and a lesser known "Tornado".

Another Flathead conversion that I hadn't seen before. And it's a true hemi!

A couple random shots.

This was Edsel Fords "hot rod". It has a 6 cylinder engine and at that time Ford didn't manufacture any 6 cylinders.. Edsel wanted them to but Henry wouldn't hear of it.

This one has the boat tail rear body, tires have no tread, and there's more gauges in it that most cars of the day.

Can you tell by now that I am a huge Riley fan?!?!?!

Some more random shots and a bit more from HAL .

Anyone ever see this one before?
