motor wheel,
one wheel,
Puegeot,
rare,
snow machines,
Tank car,
tractor,
velocipede,
wheels
Never seen one before, and something about the age of a black and white photo tells me that these are obsolete
I have no idea at all what this is
Ok, but why take it out if you have to add skis?
Really early car phone
Odd stuff on this tow truck
1890's and I was told it's a velocipede
Lenin's 1922 Rolls Royce Silver Ghost snow machine. Most expensive snow machine conversion? or strangest use for a Rolls Royce?
I've never seen a photo of a tractor involved in a car crash
no idea what the motorbike in front is
Never seen a train engine like this... must be for moving train cars around in a train yard
For packing dirt roads?
Early Daytona Beach racers with superchardged Auburns, before NASCAR took over racing on Daytona Beach

Two of the rare Jeeps the (1959) FC 59, but the below is even more rare
Model T tank
Love the motor wheels... I'd so love to ride one! This one was investigated by Hemmings Blog and you can read more about it: http://blog.hemmings.com/index.php/2010/11/22/m-goventosas-one-wheel-to-obscurity/ it went 93mph... I doubt that anyone did that more than once given the conditions of roads in Italy in 1931 to 1933, that's when the above photo was taken, 1931
Puegeot in 1934, great designed car, looks like the top is coming down
Wipers on the inside and outside... and that might be Ron Howard... like Tere commented, it sure looks like him during the Andy Griffith show
James Hetfield's boat tail speedster Auburn
These photos suck becuse of the lousy lighting at SEMA, for very good photos of this car, see the GNRS gallery:http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/01/metallicas-lead-singer-james-hetfields.html
The lighting in the Vegas Convention center are terrible for photographing dark colored vehicles, so I'm posting light and dark photos with the idea that one will be better, but I can't decide which one it is.
for other customs that James has had made and put on the show car circuit: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2007/04/metallica-musicians-are-hot-rodders.html
